James Mukumbu Makumbi
"I was a student at Universal Group of Colleges in the faculty of Sales and Marketing Management where I undertook Advanced Diploma with ABMA. I managed to score distinction in all subjects.
After obtaining Advanced Diploma in the same field I discovered this course from ABMA was in high demand in the market. This has enabled me to advance from an ordinary salesman to a sales representative in Brookside Diary Limited. Therefore the said Diploma is portraying high recognition in the market of sales.
With regards to the course content, I found it well structured, fully covering the areas of this field. The course is marketable and I would like to encourage those students who are pursuing stage I and II to aim higher in order to attain the final diploma, which will make them realise how fruitful it is. Otherwise I am very grateful to be a student with ABMA. It has changed my life from nothing to somebody reliable in society."

I am grateful to IMIT as well as ABMA for giving us the opportunity we have been looking for."

Tobias Mafukidze
"ABMA programmes are really an eye opener to me as I am now fully prepared to deal with the shipping business with all the confidence and understanding of shipping which is quite relevant to my area of work. Although I am still studying for Diploma 2, it enabled me to develop the ability to have foresight in articulating professional issues and deal intelligently with any arising problems. Also by studying economies as a subject at Diploma level 2, it enables me to develop professional transferable skills of critical assessment and analysis. I am now a resourceful person in my organisation as people are now coming to me if they face problems as far as clearing and forwarding is concerned."
