Camille Nunez, a PHP Developer, shares what it’s like working for ACP.

It’s been a year since I started working in ACP, and I have learnt a lot from my experiences here and am still continuously learning. ACP always gives us room to improve on not just our skills, but also our personality.

ACP allows us to explore and discover our true potential. They let us do the things that we can do best and build up on our other skills at the same time.

I remember when we were presenting our learning management system, CyberSphere, to some teachers, at first, I was so nervous. I'm not used to speaking in public, but after the presentation, I felt so proud that we were able to showcase the system that we built. We were able to see users actually using the system and what their opinions were about it.

Being a programmer is fun, especially if you have ACP on your side to support and guide you in achieving and learning.

Training Executive, Halimah Jamil, talks about her first impressions and working in ACP

Halimah Jamil is a self-starter and a driven individual. She has proven time and time again that success is determined by one’s desire and drive to get things done.

Quoting her experience with ACP, Halimah narrated, “I joined ACP at the beginning of 2010. I remembered that during the interview Kevin, the HR manager, asked me how I got to know of ACP? Did I surf the net, he asked. I told him, after being in this industry for all these years, you tend to know who the major players are. So that is why I am here.

The interview was casual and I felt very comfortable or maybe it’s just me; put me in front of someone and I’ll just start talking. But the impression I got was, Hey! It looks like a nice bunch of people here. I can even hear laughter from the next room. Within weeks, I’ve met a few key personnel and every single one of them were pleasant to be with.”

A firm believer in personal growth and improvement, Halimah openly admits feeling inadequate at times and is challenged to carry out her role in this ever changing IT world, but she quipped, “ACP has never failed to lend a helping hand. There was never a time when I tried to reach them in need of something and my cries were not answered.”

If learning is about growing and facing up to challenges, then having a Training Executive like Halimah that personifies this is a definite advantage to all students.

Siti Zulriah Bte Mohd Rahmat shares with us her insights on being a Training Executive.

I initially started my role in ACP as an adhoc trainer before I was stationed at New Town Primary School as their residential training executive.

As a training executive in this school, I have a responsibility to be the best mentor and role model to my students, while injecting some fun and creativity to my lessons. I’m happy to be able to conduct these lessons, even down to the preparation work!

I always believe that education and technology are integral parts of life and being part of ACP has certainly brought me to a level of consciousness and confidence to share this with the world.

It is a journey that will be empowering to those who want to make a difference in life!

The most rewarding part of my job is helping others and seeing their happy faces. I have learnt that being a training executive is not about putting knowledge in, but about drawing knowledge out and realising the hidden potential of every student I meet.

Serohijos Froilan Fuentes talks about his passion for learning and teaching.

I’ve been working in ACP as a training executive since May of 2009. And the one thing I can say for certain is that I really feel as part of a family.

ACP has helped me build my skills to a level I never expected to achieve. They’ve sent me to several courses to hone my skills and have always motivated, inspired, and engaged us to reach a higher level of knowledge and experience.

Using my newfound knowledge, I have been able to apply these skills to my lessons. Seeing the children respond to the different teaching techniques that have been taught to me, is an amazing and fulfilling sight to behold.

Teaching subjects like ICT and media literacy can be really challenging -- it is a new and constantly evolving subject. However, with the unlimited nurturing and support that I’ve received from ACP, as well as my own creativity and passion, it has proven to be very rewarding – for me as well as for my students.

ACP was not only there to build up my skills and experience, but was also there when I needed them the most. I cannot forget the help they extended to me, when my wife and son were hospitalized. It really comforted me and brought me strength just knowing that my ACP Family was there for me, especially during troubled times.
