I recently completed the Certificate in Library Management (Advanced) course at Stanmore School of Business, and I must say it was a thoroughly enjoyable and enlightening experience.

The course provided me with a wealth of practical knowledge and skills, including how to design and deliver effective information literacy programs and how to create engaging instructional materials. I appreciated the detailed and comprehensive course materials, which included templates, worksheets, and other resources that I can use in my work. The course also gave me the opportunity to reflect on my own practices and identify areas for improvement, which was really valuable. One thing that would have made the course even better would be more opportunities for feedback and discussion with the instructor and other students. Overall, I would definitely recommend the course to anyone looking to advance their career in library management.
