When we asked Asma about her experience in going from a student to a guest lecturer

She said: “It was a very good experience that occurred at Preston, Ajman as a guest lecturer and not a student having to sit and listen. I’m sure the students who were present have benefited a lot as quality management is an important aspect in any organization you work with. Discussing different key issues and the barriers that exist, I am glad and I hope that I have made a difference in their coming life ahead. I thank everyone who supported me.”

Security Training Program conducted by Alumna

A security-training program was conducted for the security guards at Preston University, Ajman. The guards learned techniques for effectiveness and efficiency required in maintaining high security levels in the organization. This event was organized by Dr. Sharon, the Research Coordinator at Preston University. She is an active faculty member who saw the need for this kind of training at Preston, Ajman. Syed Rahat Ali, a Gold Medalist graduate of Preston University who completed his MBA in HRM, conducted the event. He is a former squadron leader in the royal Pakistan air force and currently works in Dubai as General Manager of Rectangle Asia LLC. It was a three-day training session with a short test at the end of each session. This was done to determine how much students able to grasp at the end of each day. According to him, the program was very useful, as the people who participated did not have any basic security background. Three students who completed the program received certificates for excellent performance from Mr. Sajjad Hussain, Director General. They were: Abul Salam, Saiful Islam and Sultan Zareen.

Message from Syed Rahat Ali:

“The world seems to be moving toward terrorism which is very dangerous for commercial business as well as individuals. I think security is a top priority and should be an important consideration for all organizations.”
