I've just completed the Postgraduate Certificate in Early Childhood Education at Stanmore School of Business, and I couldn't be more pleased. The course content was well-structured, informative, and allowed me to gain practical knowledge in areas such as child development, curriculum planning, and assessment. I was able to immediately apply these skills in my role as a nursery teacher and saw a positive impact on my ability to support children's learning. While I would have liked more interaction with fellow students, the quality of the course materials and the expertise of the instructors made up for it. Highly recommended.
