From a Pharmacist in Lagos to a Business Analyst in the UK

We’re thrilled to share the inspiring journey of Mbanefo Chisom, a dedicated pharmacist from Lagos who transformed his career path through our Business Analysis course.

His story is one of determination, growth, and success—a perfect example of how the right support and resources can empower you to achieve your dreams.

Let’s take a walk through Mbanefo Chisom’s journey, from the moment he first reached out to us, to the day he landed a prestigious job at Lloyds Bank in the UK.

How It All Started

It all began when Mbanefo Chisom, a pharmacist based in Lagos, reached out to us with an inquiry about our Business Analysis course. At the time, Mbanefo Chisom was preparing to relocate to the UK and was exploring ways to boost his career prospects. While he was well-versed in pharmacy and business, he was curious to see if a business analysis qualification could enhance his opportunities in a new country.

His message read, “Hello, I am Mbanefo Chisom, a pharmacist resident in Lagos .. I wanted to make enquiries about your business analysis course. So I need to understand about the course per se, I am relocating to the uk this year, and I want to find out, is it something that could possibly boost my chances of getting a good job?”

Mbanefo Chisom mentioned that he was familiar with basic computer ethics but felt that his current expertise was largely centered around pharmacy and business. Encouraged by his wife, who believed that the course could be beneficial, Mbanefo Chisom sought to understand how this new skill set could potentially open doors for him in the UK job market. He also had concerns about balancing the course with his ongoing business commitments in Lagos, making the timing of the classes a crucial factor in his decision-making process.

In his own words, “I know the common ethics of the computer but everything in my head now is pharmacy and business.. but my wife says this would actually help so I am trying to actually understand how it will, then I can proceed to register. Also I run a business here in Lagos so also timing of class would also matter.”

His First Step Forward

After discussing the course details with our team, Mbanefo Chisom decided that it was the right choice for him. Despite the challenges of juggling a business and preparing for an international move, he was determined to make the most of this opportunity.

Mbanefo Chisom soon enrolled in the Business Analysis course and began his journey with a mix of excitement and realism. He knew the road ahead wouldn’t be easy, but he was ready to put in the effort to acquire the skills that could potentially shape his future career in the UK.

His Learning Experience

Once enrolled, Mbanefo Chisom threw himself into the coursework. He attended live sessions, actively participated in discussions, and completed all assignments diligently. Even with a hectic schedule, Mbanefo Chisom found ways to make time for his studies, often working late into the night after handling his business tasks.

Initially, the new information and concepts felt overwhelming, but as he progressed through the course, Mbanefo Chisom began to see the connections between his pharmacy background and the principles of business analysis. The practical exercises, case studies, and real-world applications within the course were particularly beneficial in helping him grasp the material.

Mbanefo Chisom’s journey wasn’t without its challenges. Balancing the demands of his business, personal life, and studies was often tough.
