I had a great experience with the Advanced Certificate in News Gathering course at Stanmore School of Business. As a journalist from Brazil, I was interested in learning more about the latest techniques and trends in news gathering. The course was well-structured and easy to follow, with clear instructions and relevant examples. I appreciated the focus on practical skills, such as interviewing and reporting, which I can apply directly to my work. The instructors were supportive and provided helpful feedback on our assignments. One thing that could be improved is the addition of more Latin American case studies and examples, which would make the course more relatable to students from the region. Overall, I'm satisfied with the course and feel that it has helped me improve my skills in news gathering and reporting. I would recommend it to fellow journalists looking to enhance their skills and knowledge.
