I took the Certificate in School Finance course at Stanmore School of Business and it was a great learning experience. The course covered a lot of ground, from financial management and accounting to financial planning and budgeting. I liked that the course was practical and focused on real-world examples, which made it easier to see how the concepts applied to my work in a school setting. The course materials were good, but I felt like some of the topics could have been explored in more depth. Still, I gained some useful knowledge and skills, and I appreciated the flexibility of the online format. Overall, I'd recommend the course to others, but with the caveat that it's not perfect and could be improved in some areas.
