I found the instructors to be friendly and approachable, always willing to help with any questions or concerns. The course materials were well-organized and easy to follow, with plenty of examples and case studies to illustrate key concepts. One of the things that really stood out to me was the emphasis on cultural and religious diversity in funeral practices - it was really eye-opening to learn about the different customs and traditions surrounding death and bereavement. While there were some areas where I felt the course could be improved, overall I was happy with the experience and would recommend it to others.

I completed the Certificate in Mortuary Science (Advanced) at Stanmore School of Business, and it was a solid experience. The course content was detailed and comprehensive, covering a wide range of topics related to mortuary science. I appreciated the focus on practical skills, such as embalming and restoration, as well as the more theoretical aspects of funeral directing and bereavement support. The instructors were knowledgeable and supportive, and the course materials were well-organized and easy to follow. One of the things that I found particularly useful was the emphasis on business management and marketing - as someone who's interested in starting my own funeral home, this was really valuable information. Overall, I was happy with the course and would recommend it to others, although I do think there were some areas where it could be improved - for example, more opportunities for hands-on practice and feedback would be great.
