I took the Certified Specialist Programme in Digital Archives at Stanmore School of Business, and it was a great experience! The course content was really relevant to my work as a librarian, and I loved how the instructors used real-life examples to illustrate key concepts. I gained a lot of practical skills, especially in digitization and digital curation. The course materials were well-organized, and the online platform was easy to use. One thing that could be improved is the discussion forum – sometimes it was hard to get feedback from peers. Still, I'm really happy with what I learned, and I feel more confident in my ability to manage digital collections. Thanks, Stanmore School of Business, for the opportunity!

I recently completed the Certified Specialist Programme in Digital Archives at Stanmore School of Business, and I must say it was a thoroughly enjoyable and enriching experience. As a museum professional, I was looking to expand my knowledge of digital archives and their applications in cultural heritage institutions. The course provided a comprehensive overview of the field, covering topics such as digital preservation, metadata standards, and archival management software. I found the course materials to be of high quality, with detailed notes and relevant examples. The instructors were also very supportive and responsive to questions. One area for improvement could be the inclusion of more case studies from diverse regions, including Africa. Nevertheless, I'm very satisfied with my learning experience and would recommend this course to anyone interested in digital archives.
