I found the Graduate Certificate in Care Home Legal Requirements and Best Practices (Advanced) to be a really useful course. The lectures were engaging, and the discussions were thought-provoking. I liked how the course was structured, with a mix of theoretical and practical content. The instructors were approachable, and the feedback was constructive. One thing that I found particularly helpful was the section on record-keeping and documentation. It's an area that's often overlooked, but it's so important for care homes to get it right. The course provided lots of examples and templates, which I've been able to apply in my own work. My only suggestion would be to include more case studies from different countries, to give students a broader perspective on the issues.
