I took the Fire Scene Investigation course at Stanmore School of Business and it was a solid experience. I liked how the course was structured, with a mix of theoretical and practical lessons. The instructor was knowledgeable and provided some great examples of fire scene investigations gone wrong, which really drove home the importance of attention to detail and thorough evidence collection. The course materials were decent, but I felt like some of the videos could have been more engaging. Overall, I'm happy with what I learned and I feel more confident in my ability to investigate fire scenes, but I think the course could be improved with some more interactive elements.
