I recently completed the 'Counseling Skills' course at Stanmore School of Business, and I must say it was a thoroughly enriching experience. As a counselor in India, I was looking to develop my skills in assessment and intervention, and the course provided me with a comprehensive understanding of these topics. The course materials were well-organized and easy to follow, with plenty of examples and illustrations to support the learning process. I appreciated the emphasis on evidence-based practice and the use of case studies to demonstrate key concepts. The instructors were knowledgeable and responsive, and the online platform was generally user-friendly. One area for improvement might be the addition of more interactive elements, such as quizzes or games, to enhance the learning experience. Overall, however, I'm satisfied with the course and would recommend it to anyone looking to develop their counseling skills in a practical and applied context.
