I found the Certificate in School Finance (Advanced) course to be a solid foundation for understanding the complexities of school finance. As someone working in education in Japan, I appreciated the course's focus on international best practices and the similarities and differences between various countries' approaches to school finance. The course materials were well-organized, and the discussion forums were a great way to connect with peers from diverse backgrounds. While some topics felt a bit dense, the instructors did a good job of breaking them down into manageable chunks. Overall, I'd recommend this course to anyone looking to gain a deeper understanding of school finance, but be prepared to put in the time to fully absorb the material.
