I wish to express my interest and suitability to study at your university. Having attended Bansang Senior Secondary School I sat for the West African Senior School Certificate Examination in the field of commerce and scored an A (1) excellent, two (2) very goods and five (5) credits. I enrolled at the Nusrat Management and Accountancy Training Centre to develop my career in a related field of study and after successful completion, I was awarded both Foundation and Intermediate Certificates in Financial and Management Accounting with 1 (one) distinction in Recording Financial Transactions; 2 (two) Credits in Management Information and Maintaining Financial Records; and a Pass in Managing Costs and Finances. I also got registered as a member of the Association of Chartered Certified Accountants (ACCA) after receiving an ACCA Certificate in Recording Financial Transactions and Management Information.
In the quest to further my professional career at The Gambia Public Procurement Institute I successfully completed the Foundation Certificate in Public Procurement with 7(seven) Distinctions and 1 (one) very good out of eight subjects. I also attended a training course on procurement and contract management conducted by the University of The Gambia to improve my knowledge in international procurement and contract management. These will help me to contribute effectively in planning and ensuring the maintenance of an efficient procurement system in The Gambia. My exposure to market research will also enable me to assess expertise and track record of potential suppliers to ensure transparency and accountability. The above courses are all relevant to my personal career development goals as well as the development needs of my country.
