As someone who already worked in the field, I was looking for a course that could help me take my skills to the next level. The Postgraduate Certificate in Wildlife Forensics and Investigation from Stanmore School of Business did just that. I particularly appreciated the emphasis on legal proceedings and how to present evidence in court. It's not always easy to find courses that cater to experienced professionals, but this one hit the mark.
