Debbie Shawcross MInstAM (Dip)
Debbie is a great exponent of Life Long Learning, and a very good example of what the iam could do for you.
Ten years ago, she began studying a business programme but really wasn't happy with the course content: It didn't seem to make any difference at all," she said.
Debbie searched for more appropriate qualifications in administration and found the Institute of Administrative Management's International Diploma. She was working full time as an administrator and the modular structure of the course seemed ideal, for her busy life.
She says: "The iam's Diploma helped me get good jobs - doors opened for me, and my confidence grew. My graduation ceremony was a great experience, too, my family were so proud.
Debbie was promoted to Manager at the firm. She also found time to fit in a law degree and two children, as well as her job. Eventually she set up her own business (Driveway Designs) and enjoyed becoming involved in all aspects of the business.
Currently, she is engaged in a full time post graduate course in Law. Although with her company to run and the children (three, now) it's not easy to fit it all in...
Debbie says
" I would never have come so far without the iam's Diploma as a starting point. It taught me how to study and how to divide my time - skills I really need now.
There's no question that it set me on the right trail."
Debbie is a shining example of what an iam qualification in administrative management - plus a lot of hard work and dedication - can help you achieve.
