I thoroughly enjoyed the Certified Specialist Programme in Active Listening for Older Adults at Stanmore School of Business. As a healthcare professional, I found the course content to be highly relevant and informative. The programme helped me achieve my learning goals by providing me with the skills and knowledge to effectively communicate with older adults. The course materials were of high quality and included practical examples and case studies that made the learning experience engaging and interactive. I particularly appreciated the section on empathetic listening, which has significantly improved my ability to understand and respond to the needs of my patients. Overall, I am extremely satisfied with the course and would highly recommend it to anyone working with older adults.

I took the Certified Specialist Programme in Active Listening for Older Adults at Stanmore School of Business and it was a great experience. The course was well-structured and easy to follow, with a good balance of theory and practical exercises. I liked how the instructors used real-life scenarios to illustrate the concepts, it made the learning more relatable and fun. One of the most valuable things I gained from the course was the ability to identify and challenge my own biases and assumptions when communicating with older adults. The course materials were also very useful, I still refer to them in my daily work as a social worker. My only suggestion for improvement would be to include more interactive activities and group discussions, but overall I'm happy with the course and would recommend it to others.

I recently completed the Certified Specialist Programme in Active Listening for Older Adults at Stanmore School of Business, and I must say it was a very detailed and comprehensive course. The instructors were knowledgeable and provided many examples and case studies to illustrate the concepts. I appreciated the focus on cultural sensitivity and diversity, as it's so important when working with older adults from different backgrounds. The course materials were also very thorough and included many useful resources and references. One of the things that I found particularly useful was the section on questioning techniques, it's helped me to clarify and understand the needs of my clients much better. Overall, I'm satisfied with the course and would recommend it to others, although I do think it could be improved with more opportunities for practice and feedback.
