The Graduate Certificate in Outdoor and Adventure Education at Stanmore School of Business was a great learning experience for me. I gained a lot of practical knowledge and skills, such as outdoor first aid and environmental education, which I can apply to my work as an adventure tour guide. The course materials were good, but I felt that some of the lectures could have been more interactive. However, the workshops and group discussions were really helpful in clarifying my doubts and learning from my peers. One of the highlights of the course was the opportunity to design and deliver my own outdoor education program, which gave me a lot of confidence in my abilities. Overall, I'm satisfied with the course and would recommend it to others, but I think there's room for improvement in terms of engagement and interactivity.

Oh my gosh, I just loved the Graduate Certificate in Outdoor and Adventure Education at Stanmore School of Business! The course was so much fun and I learned so much. I gained a ton of practical skills, such as rock climbing and kayaking, which I can use to teach my students. The course materials were amazing, with lots of videos, podcasts, and interactive activities that made learning really engaging. I also appreciated the focus on social and emotional learning, which helped me understand how to create a positive and supportive learning environment. My favorite part of the course was the final project, where I got to design and deliver my own outdoor education program - it was such a thrill to see my students learn and grow in a real-world setting. Overall, I'm so grateful to have taken this course and I would totally recommend it to anyone who's passionate about outdoor education.
