''The public and employers recognise ABE as the best professional body in Malawi because students who have completed ABE studies are more competitive. ABE students also become more creative and have the ability to apply different concepts occurring in their working environment which leads to greater changes/transformation of the workplace.''

Chisomo shares the impression the public and employers have of ABE in Malawi as well as some excellent skills he was able to obtain while studying with ABE. Read his full story:

''I'm Piers Chisomo Mvula from Malawi. I’m a 6th born child in a family of 7 children. I'm a secondary school certificate holder (MSCE), ABE diploma level 4 and level 5; and I'm an Administrator at PJK&P CONSULTING ENGINEERS

My brother was a student at the time when I was at secondary school. He used to tell me more about the advantages of studying ABE courses and that upon obtaining ABE diplomas, I can have the chance to work in different countries hence being recognised across the globe. I, therefore, got interested in studying with ABE.

In Malawi, the public and employers have a positive attitude and a good impression towards ABE as they encourage students to register and study ABE courses as a bridge to the University of Malawi degree programs because ABE courses have the potential to sharpen students mindset and provide them with an insight on how the global world is evolving.

On the other hand, the public and employers recognise ABE as the best professional body in Malawi because students who have completed ABE studies are more competitive among other students who have studied courses from other professional bodies. ABE students also become more creative and have the ability to apply different concepts occurring in their working environment which leads to greater changes/transformation of the workplace.

Therefore, due to the best working results from ABE students, the public and employers have a positive impression of ABE.

I want to obtain a bachelor's degree, preferably from the University of Hertfordshire.

Upon studying ABE courses, you gain more knowledge and experience on how to run a local business as well as expanding the local business to global markets. In addition, you gain experience in how to interact and collaborate with different stakeholders.

Studying with ABE has helped me to be hardworking as well as gain self-confidence and time management skills.

As a student, you need to create a vision for successful studies which can be achieved through setting up goals, hardworking and dedication.

Through working, I would like to save money which will help me to invest in different businesses that will help me to proceed/further my studies and obtain a Master’s or PhD.''
