Aung Myo Kyaw from Myanmar is already shaping an impressive future at just 15 years old. He discovered an early passion for business and has steadily progressed through ABE qualifications, starting with completing the KidsMBA programme at age 12, and now the ABE Level 4 Diploma in Business Management while still in Grade 9. Studying independently using ABE’s materials has helped him grow his confidence, think creatively, and understand how real businesses work. Read his full story below:
''My name is Aung Myo Kyaw, and I am from a town called Zeyawaddy, located in the Bago Division of Myanmar. I am 15 years old and come from a supportive family. My father is a cameraman and a graphic designer, my mother is a housewife, and I have a younger brother. I am currently studying in Grade 9, alongside pursuing the ABE Level 4 Diploma in Business Management. At the age of 12, I successfully completed the ABE Endorsed KidsMBA Programme, and later achieved the ABE Level 2 Award in Setting Up Your Own Business as well as the ABE Level 3 Certificate in Business Essentials.
I chose to study ABE because it provides internationally recognised business education that helps young learners like me develop real-world skills. I was inspired by the practical approach of ABE subjects, which connects theory with real business applications. I believed that ABE would help me prepare for my future studies in business and management and build a strong foundation for entrepreneurship.
I am self-studying the ABE Level 4 Diploma in Business Management as an independent learner, using ABE’s official study materials and online resources to support my learning.
In Myanmar, ABE is seen as a respected and high-quality international qualification. Many people view ABE as a great opportunity for students and professionals to develop management and business skills that are useful both locally and internationally. Employers value ABE graduates for their practical knowledge and understanding of business operations.
After completing my ABE Level 4 Diploma, I plan to continue my studies with ABE Level 5 and also aim to apply my knowledge to develop my own business ideas for the future.
The best thing about studying with ABE is that it allows flexible and practical learning. The subjects are well-designed to help learners understand how businesses actually operate. I also like how ABE encourages critical thinking and creativity through assignments and real-life case studies.
Through ABE, I have gained skills in leadership, teamwork, communication, entrepreneurship, and problem-solving. I’ve also learned how to plan a business, manage time effectively, and think strategically, which are skills that will help me in my studies and future career.
As an independent learner, my tips for a successful study are to stay consistent, manage your time wisely, and read your study guides carefully. Try to understand the concepts rather than memorising them, and apply real-life examples to make learning easier.
In the future, I want to become a doctor and a successful entrepreneur, creating a business that promotes sustainability and health. I also aim to inspire other young people in Myanmar to pursue education and follow their dreams with confidence.''
