Hi,

I am a working nomad who had been working for 7 years as an Admin Secretary to Office Manager and currently online remote translator and transcriber.

I'm looking for an online MBA course that is internationally recognised and will accept my Diploma Certificate which is LCCI Diploma for Executive Secretary and my working experience.


I know Malaysia Segi College do offer an MBA course like this but I'll need an online MBA instead as I'll be travelling a lot for my work.

Please suggest.

Thank you smile.gif wub.gif

This is not to discourage your dreams of pursuing a MBA, neither does it answer your question if there are any online MBA program that accept Diploma (for those programs that do, they maybe desperate for students?) You have been a Admin Secretary, Office Manager, online remote translator and transcriber. Does your next job needs a MBA? Does an Office Manager job needs an MBA? Does the salary of the next job commensurate with the MBA qualification? There is little point getting a job that asks for MBA but pays a Bachelor's Degree salary. How are you financing the MBA? A loan? How are you going to repay the loan if your salary does not increase after the MBA. Can you get a job that needs MBA?

If you have a job offer for MBA qualification or know there are MBA jobs meeting your profile (admin work, translator and transcriber, non-degree holder with MBA), then it is a different story.

Thank you for your advice and thoughts,
Well, of course. I can continue working for what I've been doing for the past few years and continue being a diploma holder. However, to a certain level, they will still want to look at the certificate in order to promote you further. And, to be honest, What I've been doing, doesn't earn much. They are earning peanuts that won't support a family and I'm a coming to 30 years old lady who wants to be self-sufficient. So, in order to earn enough to support my family, I came to realise that I'll need a recognised MBA or higher education as I've been looking for jobs but a lot of jobs don't higher and education lower than a degree which what I've now is a Diploma.

To answer your question regarding the payment of the fees, I think that's the last thing I need to share but I'll be able to deal with it. smile.gif

So, now.. anyone has any idea regarding recognised online MBA that accept Diploma holders?

Good, very good you are making some plans.

Finances for payment of fees, it was a rhetorical question, that is I don't need to know if you can afford to pay your fees nor do I care if you afford it. But you disclosed that you have no problems with that, good again, that is a bonus, one less issue to settle in your pursuit of your MBA.

Your goal of taking the MBA: no promotion (they will still want to look at the certificate in order to promote you further) and don't earn much (What I've been doing, doesn't earn much)

no promotion: A degree will definitely help, consider a bachelor's degree as well as the MBA.

don't earn much: Having a higher degree does not necessarily means making more money. There are other avenues of making good money, certain skills or trades (that is if you do not mind a non-office job) can pay more money than a university graduate.

Enough of me, I have no answer to your original question for now.

I will let others answer your question.

So, anyone has any idea regarding recognised online MBA that accept Diploma holders, please let this lady know.

I have a close friend with diploma level currently doing an online MBA in INTI University.  I heard him sharing with me that he needs to go through a series of procedure called APEL by MQA that allows him to obtain an equivalent degree cert which then lets him to do a MBA program. Perhaps you can check out this website to find out more about the APEL process, http://www2.mqa.gov.my/APEL/ . He is so far doing quite well for his online degree but he mentioned to me that you need high discipline as you need to spend at least an hour online on a daily basis to complete your assignments and etc. Since it is online basis, so no complain, and I think should be the study style that you prefer since you are a working nomad. Perhaps you can google for detail

Hope this helps and good luck in your MBA!

Hey people!

Good news! I'm just signing into announce that I'm finally getting into my distant-learning Masters degree at the University of Liverpool after a lot of searching and enquiring.

It may not be the top 50 universities to go for your MBA but they are AACSB accredited which also means it's internationally recognized. It's very important to make sure the Master is worldwide recognized before enrolling it otherwise it's a waste of money. Open University is a waste of money.

They have a few intake dates coming 31st August/ 28 September or another somewhere in November.

If I recommend or introduce you to the course, You will get a USD500 discount cause I'm existing student!!! The course I'm enrolling is not MBA but similar, it's MSc in Management which is not as popular but I've done a quite a bit of research and finally decided to enroll.

If you would like to enroll in Master at the University of Liverpool, we can thrive together. Let me know so I can introduce you to the school and talk to them, they give some grant too on top of the discount you'll get from my introduction. *happy* *happy*

Education is the one investment that would not come to waste, as long as you make sure your course is accredited smile.gif
