I took the Graduate Certificate in Data Journalism at Stanmore School of Business and it was a solid experience. The course covered a lot of practical skills, like how to work with datasets and conduct statistical analysis. I appreciated the flexibility of the online platform and the support from the instructors. One thing that stood out to me was the emphasis on storytelling and how to communicate complex data insights to a general audience. The course materials were pretty good, but sometimes felt a bit dry. Still, I learned a lot and would recommend the course to others interested in data journalism.
