What was your first course on Alison, and why did you choose it?<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

I learned about Alison through a colleague.<\/span> My first course on Alison was a <\/span>Diploma in Supply Chain Management<\/span><\/a>. <\/span>The reason for me choosing the Diploma in Supply Chain Management was because, when I got the offer to work as a Tally Assistant for the United Nations World Food Programme, I didn’t have any knowledge of warehousing or supply chain management. These are the main areas you are dealing with and which you need to know about.<\/span><\/p>\n

How have Alison courses affected your career?<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Alison has given me opportunities that no other institutions would give me. Obtaining a <\/span>Diploma in Supply Chain Management<\/span><\/a> has helped me in understanding more about my profession and practicing the standard operating procedures. I now have a versatile knowhow of my specialised field as well as having learned the technical approach to so many things concerning supply chains.<\/span><\/p>\n

What\u2019s your favourite way to relax from studying?<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Most of the times, if I’ve been studying for hours, I tend to relax either by playing video games or going for a stroll around the vicinity.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

Where are you working and what are you studying now?<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

I’m currently working with the United Nations World Food Programme as a Tally Assistant. <\/span>As a Tally Assistant, I tally the receipt and the dispatch of commodities during internal operations. I implement and maintain accurate stacking, and assist in conducting physical inventory checks to support compliance with internal control procedures and systems. I also prepare accurate tally reports to ensure consistent and prompt accountability for commodity movement from, to and in the warehouse. I supervise the warehouse cleaning after loading and unloading and I manage and control all warehouse activity in the absence of the storekeeper and assistant storekeeper.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

What\u2019s next for you, in terms of education and work?<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

I\u2019ll be giving more time to study and I\u2019ll continue to learn more from this great institution. For now, I want to further my education in my area of specialisation: supply chains.<\/span><\/p>\n

What would you say to someone if they asked you about Alison? Would you recommend it and why?<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

I’ve referred more than 10 people to Alison. <\/span>The reason why I refer people to Alison is because I find the courses of study so helpful to my field of work. Also it’s the only free online institution which offers more courses than one could think of.<\/span><\/p>\n
