As a GIS professional, I found this course incredibly useful. The content was well-structured, with a strong focus on real-world applications, which I appreciated. I particularly enjoyed learning about the QGIS software—a powerful and open-source alternative to Esri's ArcGIS. Overall, I'm pleased with my experience at Stanmore School of Business.
