I found the Postgraduate Certificate in Social Work Leadership (Advanced) to be a really useful course that helped me develop my skills as a social work leader. The course covered a lot of practical topics, such as project management, budgeting, and staff supervision, which I've been able to apply directly to my work in Egypt. I liked that the course was flexible and allowed me to study at my own pace, which was important for me because I have a busy schedule. The instructors were knowledgeable and responsive to questions, and the online discussions were a great way to connect with other students from different countries. One area for improvement could be more feedback on assignments, but overall I'm satisfied with the course and would recommend it to others looking to improve their leadership skills.
