I found the Professional Certificate Course in Business Rates (Advanced) at Stanmore School of Business to be quite informative and relevant to my work as a financial analyst in Egypt. The course content was well-structured, covering key topics such as business rates calculation, relief options, and legislative updates. I appreciated the variety of learning materials, including video lectures, reading assignments, and discussion forums, which catered to different learning styles. While some of the concepts were challenging to grasp at first, the instructor's explanations and examples helped clarify them. I did feel that some of the course materials could be more tailored to the Middle Eastern context, but overall, I'm satisfied with the knowledge and skills I acquired. I've started applying the concepts learned in the course to optimize business rates management for our company's Egyptian operations.
