Boston Leji

Meet Boston Leji, a former ABMA student from Zambia who studied Professional Computing and Information Technology at Golden Gates Training Institute in Lusaka. Since completing his ABMA Diploma he has gone on to secure a position with EasySave Zambia Ltd as Sales Manager.

Here he tells us of his experiences as an ABMA student.

How did your new employer respond to your international qualification from the ABMA?

My employer responded very well to my ABMA qualification. I was given first priority among other people who applied for the same job. Completing an ABMA Diploma gave me the choice of where to continue my career and with which company as organisations were able to see my hard working nature. Due to the internationally recognised qualifications ABMA provide, I have become much more appealing to potential employers with many international organisations seeking equally qualified individuals.

To what extent do you feel the skills you have obtained from your ABMA qualification are relevant for your position at EasySave Zambia Ltd?

I feel ABMA courses are wonderful as they have made me who I am today. I am a good communicator and a computer specialist. ABMA has added massively to my well being in life and I am able to work well in the business world.

EasySave Zambia Ltd. looked at my skills and consequently contacted me for an interview. ABMA taught me how to prepare for the interview. I was pleased when I got the job.

What advantages, do you think, an ABMA qualification gave you in the job market?

Undertaking my ABMA Diploma did not simply provide me with the necessary grades but also ensured that I developed good organisational skills whilst the flexible and well produced syllabus ensured that I studied material that is applicable to many different industries. My ABMA Diploma in Professional Computing and Information Technology covered many areas of business including those related to finance.

How do you feel that the ABMA provided for your needs as a student, and in what way was an ABMA qualification of benefit to you?

My ABMA Diploma in Professional Computing and Information Technology has benefited my career by opening the door to many opportunities that were otherwise closed. For example, when it comes to getting jobs worldwide, I am well placed to be considered for a wide range of managerial roles, not simply because of the relevant information I have studied but also because of the practical dissertation I have produced. I can work as a Data Manager, ICT Manager, Software Programmer and can even secure a role in Marketing, Sales or Human Resources. I also feel confident of establishing my own business.

Would you recommend ABMA Diplomas to other students?

100 per cent. These are quality diplomas that will make other students happy. ABMA qualifications make you more appealing to companies looking to employ qualified individuals. I would recommend ABMA courses to any potential student due to their international recognition and carefully constructed content that will ensure that you stand out from the crowd, particularly due to the dissertation. A career in management is easily attainable.
