''Tracing back to my geographical roots, I was nurtured in Magway in the middle region of Myanmar. Under the encouragement of my parents who are keen to support me in education, I have received many awards throughout my education journey including distinctions in the matriculation exam. Moreover, I have a lot of notable achievements in English language. Currently, I am diligently pursuing my ABE Level 6 in Business Management at AIM International College in Myanmar, leveraging my academic prowess and fervent interest in business management.
I chose to study with ABE because it offers internationally recognised qualifications that provide practical knowledge and skills directly applicable to the workplace. ABE's curriculum is designed to foster critical thinking and problem-solving abilities, which are essential in today's dynamic business environment. Moreover, the exams are conducted under strict supervision of ABE. Additionally, ABE's flexible study options allow me to balance my studies with other commitments.
I am currently studying my ABE course at AIM International College in Myanmar, which is known for its excellent teaching, support services, experienced faculty and tutors. The learning environment here is conducive to both personal and professional growth.
The public and employers in Myanmar generally perceive ABE with positive impression and varying levels of awareness, depending on industry and individual familiarity. ABE qualifications are viewed as a cost-effective way to obtain an internationally recognised business education. For aspiring professionals, it serves as a stepping stone for further studies, including university degrees abroad. In comparison to more widely known professional bodies (e.g., HND, ACCA).
Upon completion of my ABE qualification, my immediate plan is to apply the skills and knowledge I've gained to advance in my family business or seek new opportunities in the UK. I also plan to continue my professional development through further studies to keep up with industry trends and advancements.
The best thing about studying with ABE is the comprehensive and practical approach to education. The courses are designed to provide real-world knowledge and skills, which can be immediately applied in the workplace. Additionally, the support from tutors and the flexibility in study options make it easier to adopt the management causes even though I am not familiar with the business faculty.
Studying with ABE has helped me develop a range of skills, including critical thinking, problem-solving, and effective communication. ABE’s specific modules enhance entrepreneurial and innovation skills, negotiation skills, financial and analytical skills by understanding ethical and legal responsibilities in business.
To be successful in your studies, it's important to stay organised and manage your time effectively. Create a study schedule and stick to it, ensuring you allocate time for each subject. Focus on key concepts, use related theories to real-world examples, and keep up with current business trends and practical examples. Actively participate in class discussions and seek help from tutors whenever needed.
My professional aspiration is to emerge as a genuine educator, championing the entrepreneurial development of youth and women. In the long term, I envision myself assuming roles that will allow me to formulate and implement development strategies and initiatives within my home country. In the long term, I aspire to hold a leadership position in one of the consulting firms in the UK where I can leverage my skills and knowledge to drive innovation and growth. I also aim to contribute to the development of my industry by mentoring young professionals and sharing my experiences and insights.''
