I took the Professional Certificate in Cultural Competence in Social Work at Stanmore School of Business, and it was a great experience. The course content was really interesting, and I liked how it was structured. I learned a lot about cultural awareness and how to apply it in my work as a social worker. The instructors were cool, and the discussions with my classmates were always lively. One thing that stood out to me was the case study on cultural humility - it was really eye-opening, and I feel like I can use that knowledge to make a positive impact in my community. The course materials were solid, but I think they could be improved with more interactive elements. Still, I'd definitely recommend this course to others.
