I took the Postgraduate Certificate in Alcohol and Drug Abuse at Stanmore School of Business to gain a deeper understanding of addiction and its treatment. The course definitely delivered - I learned a lot about the biology of addiction, as well as evidence-based treatments like CBT and medication-assisted therapy. One of the most useful things I took away from the course was the ability to develop personalized treatment plans for clients. The course materials were solid, although I did find some of the readings to be a bit dry at times. Overall, I'm happy with the course and feel like it's helped me achieve my learning goals.

Wow, just wow! The Postgraduate Certificate in Alcohol and Drug Abuse at Stanmore School of Business was absolutely amazing. I was a bit skeptical at first, but the course completely exceeded my expectations. The instructors were passionate and knowledgeable, and the course content was engaging and relevant. I loved the focus on real-world applications - we got to work on case studies and develop our own intervention plans, which was so valuable. I also appreciated the emphasis on cultural competency and working with diverse populations. The course materials were top-notch, and I appreciated the flexibility of the online format. I've already recommended the course to several friends and colleagues - it's a game-changer for anyone working in the field of addiction treatment!

I completed the Postgraduate Certificate in Alcohol and Drug Abuse at Stanmore School of Business as part of my ongoing professional development as a social worker. The course provided a thorough overview of the key concepts and theories in the field, as well as practical skills like motivational interviewing and relapse prevention. I found the course materials to be well-organized and easy to follow, and the instructors were responsive to questions and feedback. One area for improvement might be the inclusion of more Australian-specific content and examples, as some of the material was more geared towards a US or UK context. Nonetheless, I'm satisfied with the course and feel like it's helped me develop my skills and knowledge in working with clients who experience addiction.
