As a UK-based arts manager, I found the Advanced Certificate in Independent Curating to be absolutely invaluable. The course content was directly relevant to my goals, and I gained practical skills in areas like exhibition design, budgeting, and artist liaison. The materials were high-quality and allowed me to delve deep into the subject matter. I'm thrilled to say that since completing the course, I've successfully curated two major exhibitions, and my employer has praised the new depth of knowledge I bring to the table. I wholeheartedly recommend Stanmore School of Business for anyone interested in curating!

I enrolled in the Advanced Certificate in Independent Curating to expand my horizons and learn something new. I was not disappointed! The course provided me with a solid understanding of the curating world, and I particularly enjoyed the modules on contemporary art and cultural theory. The materials were engaging and easy to follow, making it simple to learn at my own pace. Although I don't work in the arts, I now feel confident in discussing curating topics with colleagues and friends. I'm grateful for the opportunity to have taken this course and give it a well-deserved 4 stars!
