He Ditched the Family Business for London Success
Ahmed Abdulkader enrolled in the Project Management Programme with ITonlinelearning in December 2023, seeking a career change and a new professional challenge. With a background as an Operations Manager in the construction industry across Dubai and Europe, he brought valuable experience but required formal project management training and career support to transition into a new sector.
Through ITonlinelearning, Ahmed successfully completed both the PRINCE2® Foundation and PRINCE2® Practitioner certifications. The course was well-structured, with clear content that was easy to follow and apply in real-world scenarios. The level of support provided throughout the training was consistently outstanding. The tutor and recruitment advisor remained available to offer guidance, encouragement, and practical advice whenever needed.
In November 2024, Ahmed began working with the recruitment team, who supported him with a CV rewrite, LinkedIn profile update, and tailored interview preparation. Within just three months, he secured an interview with Transport for London (TfL). The mock interviews and one-to-one coaching proved instrumental in building confidence and readiness for the opportunity.
Following his first interview, Ahmed was offered a role and officially accepted a position as an Assistant Project Manager at TfL in February 2025. This marked a significant and successful career shift into the project management field.
Ahmed strongly recommended ITonlinelearning to others considering a career change. The programme provided not only industry-recognised qualifications but also mentorship, structure, and a dedicated level of support throughout the journey. His experience was described as truly transformative, and a key factor in achieving long-term career goals.
