I found the Executive Development Program in Higher Education Administration at Stanmore School of Business to be a solid choice for anyone looking to improve their skills and knowledge in this area. The course content was pretty comprehensive, covering topics like governance, finance, and student affairs. I appreciated the variety of teaching methods used, including video lectures, group discussions, and case studies. The instructors were generally knowledgeable and responsive to questions, although I did find some of the materials to be a bit dry at times. Overall, I'd say the course was a good value for the price, and I did gain some useful insights and skills that I can apply in my role as a higher education administrator. One area for improvement might be to include more interactive elements, such as simulations or gamification, to make the learning experience more engaging.
