I took the Postgraduate Certificate in Research Supervision and Mentoring at Stanmore School of Business and found it to be a really valuable experience. The course covered a lot of ground, from the fundamentals of research supervision to more advanced topics like mentoring and coaching. I appreciated the flexibility of the online format, which allowed me to balance my coursework with my other responsibilities. One of the most useful things I learned was how to give constructive feedback to my research students - the course provided some great tips and strategies for doing this effectively. My only suggestion would be to add more interactive elements to the course, such as discussion forums or live sessions, to enhance the learning experience.

I recently completed the Postgraduate Certificate in Research Supervision and Mentoring at Stanmore School of Business and found it to be a well-structured and informative course. The module on 'Research Supervision in Practice' was particularly useful, providing me with a detailed understanding of the key principles and strategies involved in effective research supervision. I also appreciated the opportunity to reflect on my own experiences as a research supervisor and to develop a personal action plan for improving my practice. The course materials were comprehensive and well-organized, and the online platform was easy to navigate. One area for improvement could be the addition of more case studies or scenarios to illustrate the application of research supervision principles in different contexts. Overall, however, I was satisfied with the course and would recommend it to others looking to develop their research supervision skills.
