Read his full story below:
''I’m originally from Tanzania, Dar Es Salaam, where I grew up with my family. Growing up, I was always encouraged to focus on my studies and stay curious, which led me towards Business Studies. I completed my O Levels (IGSCE) at Al-Muntazir Islamic International in 2023. Outside of school, I enjoy watching movies, serving in the community as a volunteer, spending time with family and friends, and I’m always looking for ways to grow and learn new things.
I chose to study with ABE because I have a strong interest in business, management, and entrepreneurship. ABE offers a practical and internationally recognised qualification that focuses not just on academic theory, but also on real-world business skills. That balance really appealed to me. What stood out about ABE is how flexible and career-oriented it is.
I studied my ABE course at FB Training Centre, which is an accredited ABE learning centre. The institution provided a supportive learning environment with qualified tutors who had real industry experience, which really helped me understand the practical side of the course content.
In Tanzania, ABE is generally well-regarded by both the public and employers due to its international recognition and practical business focus. Employers value ABE graduates for their transferable skills in areas like management and marketing, seeing it as a more hands-on alternative to purely theoretical degrees.
After completing my current ABE qualification, my immediate plan is to apply the knowledge and skills I’ve gained in a real-world setting by finding a job or internship in a business-related field such as marketing, administration, or finance.
The best thing about studying with ABE is the way it combines practical business knowledge with academic learning. The courses are well-structured and focused on real-world skills like management, entrepreneurship, and marketing, which makes the content directly useful for both employment and starting a business.
Studying with ABE has helped me develop a strong set of both practical and professional skills. ABE has strengthened my communication skills, especially in writing reports and presenting ideas clearly. Time management and self-discipline have also improved as the course requires consistent study and independent learning.
My tips for successful study are to create a study schedule and stick to it. Use past papers and practice questions to test yourself, and don’t be afraid to ask for help from tutors or classmates when something isn’t clear.
My long-term career plan is to build a successful career in business management, ideally progressing into leadership or executive roles. Eventually, I would also like to start my own business, using the skills and knowledge I’ve gained from my studies and work experience.''
