''I currently working with Jhpiego, a global health organisation affiliated with Johns Hopkins University, as an Administration and Logistics Manager (Assistant). In this role I manage various administration and logistical functions that support our health programmes, ensuring efficient and effective operations.
I chose ABE because of its excellent reputation for providing high-quality business education that is recognised worldwide.
ABE offers a comprehensive curriculum designed to equip students with practical skills and knowledge that are directly applicable to the business world. Additionally, ABE qualifications are regarded by employers, which makes it an attractive option for advancing my career.
I studied ABE at K and M School of Accountancy in Malawi. The school provided a supportive learning environment with experienced instructors who were dedicated to helping students succeed. The resources and facilities at K and M School of Accountancy enabled me to thoroughly prepare for my exams and achieve high marks.
In Malawi, ABE is highly respected by both the public and employers. The qualifications are seen as a mark of excellence and professionalism. Employers recognise the value of ABE graduates because they come equipped with practical skills and a solid understanding of business principles. This recognition has made ABE a popular choice for many students and professionals seeking to advance their careers.
After completing my current ABE qualification, my immediate plan is to pursue a Bachelors degree. I am considering doing this at the University of Hertfordshire in the UK due to its strong academic reputation and international recognition. Additionally, I plan to continue my studies at the Polytechnic of Malawi, which also offers excellent programmes and would allow me to remain close to my family while furthering my education.
The best thing about studying with ABE is the flexibility and relevance of the curriculum. ABE courses are designed to be practical and industry-focused, which means that the knowledge and skills I gain are immediately applicable to my job.
Additionally, ABE provides a global perspective on business education, which has broadened my understanding of international business practices and trends.
Studying with ABE has equipped me with a wide range of skills including strategic management, stakeholder relationship management, and critical thinking. These skills have been invaluable in my role at Jhpiego, where I manage complex administrative and logistical functions. For instance, the Managing Stakeholder Relationships course has enhanced my ability to effectively communicate and collaborate with various stakeholders leading to smoother operations and better outcomes for our projects.
Lastly, I want to thank every member of staff at ABE for their support, commitment, and great services rendered.''
