The closing year has been another successful one for NCC
Education with new Accredited Partner Centres joining our
network across the world and a range of new university
articulations. You can read all about these in this edition of Orbit
as well as about our new partnership with the University of
Central Lancashire (UCLan) for the online BSc (Hons) in Business
Computing and Information Systems.
We live in a rapidly changing global environment which requires us
all to develop both breadth and depth of skills in order to succeed.
At NCC Education we believe that our qualifications give our students the edge they need to compete around
the world. In the UK we are working in a time of significant change for qualifications and in Higher Education.
We will ensure that our certificates and teaching programmes are updated to reflect external needs and will
focus on improving delivery of our services to centres and students. The operational enhancements we are
beginning to make the Partner Centre accreditation and other processes herald a strengthening in our core
infrastructure. In the coming months we will also focus on identifying a greater role for technology in the
administration of assessments.
Creating an awareness of the need for change - and indeed a desire for it - is one of the key requirements
in ensuring that NCC Education continues to advance successfully in our rapidly changing environment. An
essential component of this is recognising the significant contribution of staff and examiners in minimising
the impact of these changes on our customers: centres, teachers and students and ensuring that our focus is
always on performance and service improvement. Equally we will not lose sight of our mission and our belief in
the value of NCC Education qualifications and the positive impact they have on skills development, university
progression and job opportunities.

partnership with world
Why is the University of Central
Lancashire top-up a fantastic
option for our students?
What changes have been made
to the programme?
• The top-up now contains four 20 credit modules
and a 40 credit project module rather than the previous version which contained eight 15 credit modules. Students will therefore have fewer assessments to take and will be able to focus more on each model. Many UK universities have adopted this model, especially in the third year, as students are able to build upon the knowledge gained in their previous years of study.
• The University of Central Lancashire (UCLan) is ranked 46 in the Guardian league tables for Computer Sciences and IT. UCLan is a
world-ranked, globally recognised university.
• In the 2010 Times Higher Education (THE) awards, UCLan was shortlisted for Entrepreneurial University of the Year. In the 2012 THE awards,
UCLan was shortlisted in the Outstanding ICT Initiative of the Year category. These awards recognise universities which uphold, and exceed, the standard of excellence expected in the UK.
NCC Education is delighted to announce a new
partnership with the University of Central Lancashire
(UCLan) for the online BSc (Hons) in Business
Computing and Information Systems.
“ NCC Education is excited about our new
partnership with UCLan and we are very much
looking forward to working closely with the university
and building a successful relationship, ” said Janette
Lister, Collaborations Manager, NCC Education.
NCC Education is excited to embark on the new
partnership with UCLan, which is a prestigious and
high-quality university, and will undoubtedly have a
positive impact on our valuable Accredited Partner
Centres and their students. UCLan commended
NCC Education in several areas, including the quality
of our online resources, and strategies to develop
learning and teaching.
“ UCLan is a world ranked university and we are
certain that our Accredited Partner Centres and
their students’ will greatly benefit from this new
partnership and the new online IT degree top-up
programme. ”
“ The University of Central Lancashire is pleased
to partner with NCC Education to offer their BSc
Business Computing and Information Systems
top-up, ” said Barbara McManus, Associate Head of
the School of Computing, Engineering and Physical
Science at UCLan “ The new partnership will
provide students with the opportunity to build on
their existing knowledge and experience in order to
secure their desired vocation or to go on to further
education. We believe, like us, that NCC Education
are committed to a quality student experience and
we look forward to working with them over the
coming years. ”

Associate Head of the School of Computing, Engineening
and Physical Science at UCLan.
• Introductory tutorial videos provide students
with the opportunity to see each of their module leaders and hear about their professional skills and experience, heightening the learning experience.
• The University of Central Lancashire was the
first modern university to enter the QS rankings
in 2010, highlighting their growing international
reputation. Recently, the QS Stars Development
Road Map was launched to showcase the
broader quality of institutions and help them to stand out in their particular areas of excellence. Overall, UCLan has been awarded four out of the maximum of five stars. Within the
sub-areas which make up the overall grading,
UCLan has been awarded the maximum of
five stars for teaching, infrastructure, internationalisation and engagement.
• The presentation of the programme has been
totally revamped; from the video lectures, to the layout on Campus, to the online tutorials. The cleaner, more modern formats will enhance usability
and student satisfaction.
• Students will complete non-assessed formative
assessments to aid revision and provide valuable feedback on their progress. Each tutorial will also provide a new interactive, quiz-style element for
students to work through and check their understanding.
• All students from NCC Education applying for
a postgraduate course of study at UCLan shall be entitled to a scholarship to the equivalent of 20% of the full tuition fee for the postgraduate
programme.
• Students who complete their third year of the
top-up will receive the same certificate as if
they had studied all three years of the programme at UCLan.
• All the module leaders are experienced UK higher
education academics and specialists in the fields they are delivering.

• This is a brand new programme; students can be
assured they are studying the very latest in subject knowledge and content.

Mwangi noted that institutions that have exhibited higher
compliance to the use of ICT in teaching and general
administration tended to attract more international
students, local and foreign grants and collaborations
with private ICT service providers. “ICT has become the
fulcrum on which the world revolves and everyone has to
keep himself updated on the current trends, innovations
and inventions,” he said.
Over 500 universities are due to sign up to a new
university ranking system, U-Multirank. The aim of this new
system is to bring a new and broader approach to the
assessment of universities. The first results are due to be
published in 2014.

With almost 200 million people aged between 15 and
24, Africa has the youngest population in the world and it
keeps growing rapidly. If this trend continues, the continent’s
labour force will be 1 billion strong by 2040, making it
the largest in the world, surpassing both China and India.
Africa’s youth population is not only growing rapidly, it is
also getting better educated. Based on current trends, 59%
of 20-24 year olds will have had secondary education in
2030, compared to 42% today. This will translate into 137
million 20-24 year olds with secondary education and 12
million with tertiary education in 2030.

Nearly a tenth of the students enrolled at the University
of San Francisco (USF) are Chinese nationals, many
with limited English language skills, prompting one of the
university’s administration team to resign. One Chinese
student also told China Daily that “ USF should admit
fewer Chinese applicants as we pay for an English-speaking
environment and prefer to be classmates of native
American speakers.”
The Swedish Government has proposed doubling the
grant for students from non-EU countries. The funding
is to be increased from just under £50mn to £90mn.
The funds will include students from Organisation for
Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD).
A further £50mn is to be provided for students from
countries not in the OECD.

Academics from the universities of Birmingham and
Nottingham, supported by the British Council, surveyed
652 former university students who had returned to
work in China after studying in the UK – some less than
six months ago, others up to 27 years. They found that
despite “intense intercultural, social and educational
challenges”, 94% were satisfied with their overall study
experience in the UK and 83% found coming home a
happy experience. Furthermore, 84% felt that they were
able to take advantage of their overseas experience at
work.

In 2012, the Government of Kazakhstan’s Centre for
International Programs, which manages the Bolashak
Scholarship Program, launched a new Fellowship Program
to allow professionals to carry out research and workbased training in other countries for a period of up to
twelve months. The programme can include up to six
months of prior intensive language training, and is aimed
at faculty and teaching staff in universities, engineers,
scientists and medical professionals. The Centre for
International Programs has already established a range of
international partnerships to deliver training under the
Fellowship Program, but is interested in establishing further
partnerships, including the UK.
Vietnam National University has recently added three
new programmes to be taught in English. The university
now has 17 programmes taught in English – a mixture
of undergraduate and postgraduate. Students are only
eligible to register for their course after achieving a
minimum IELTS of 5.0. A project to boost university
programmes taught in English was launched in 2008, now
35 undergraduate programmes are taught in English at 23
institutions nationwide.

The number of international students graduating from
German universities is growing. According to a report
from the Federal Statistical Office, 2011 saw an increase
of nearly 8%, with 10% of all degrees awarded going to
foreign graduates. 13% of the graduates were Chinese, 7%
were Turkish and 5% were Russian.
The President of Turkmenistan has ordered the
establishment of a new institution of higher education to

Re
are Using Social Media
Universities UK suggests that the United Kingdom
attracts one in ten foreign students who seek to study
outside their native country, and that it generates around
£8 billion a year in tuition fees and other investments.
International student recruitment, clearly, is big business,
and as higher education institutions and universities look
to increase their international student enrolment and
differentiate amongst global student audiences, finding
marketing solutions that bring students within arm’s
reach has become an on-going challenge.
• 23% of Facebook users check their accounts more than 5 times a day
It is for this reason that more and more colleges and
universities are turning to social media as part of their
student recruitment strategies. Taking a glance at some
recent statistics makes it easy to see why they think the
technique could be an effective one:
When it comes to recruiting international students,
it is clear from the above trends that social media, if
used correctly, can be an incredible outreach vehicle,
and higher education institutions are starting to
catch on to some of the major advantages. They are
increasingly aware of the expensive nature of running
an international department and the salaries, travel
and printing costs that it brings. So they are signing up
to the cheaper social media alternative with its instant
communication, open dialogue and access to enormous
pools of international prospects.
• Facebook has over 1 billion users which, if it were a country, would make it the third largest in the world
• 80% of users prefer to connect with brands on Facebook
• Since the dawn of Twitter, there have been 163 billion Tweets
• 69% of follows on Twitter are suggested by friends
• 34% of marketers have generated leads using Twitter
• 625,000 people join Google+ every day
• 78% report that these tools have changed the way they recruit.
Social media is of course only one part of the diverse
strategies that higher education institutions are now
using to reach and compete for applicants around the
world. It is, however, the fastest growing recruitment
strategy, and schools are doing everything from
organising private Facebook groups for prospective
students, to letting applicants supplement their
applications with YouTube videos.
Some key findings are listed below:
• 100% of the schools studied are using some form of Social media (98% Facebook, 84% Twitter, and 47% LinkedIn).
• Schools report 33% less spent on printing, 24% less spent on newspaper ads and 17% less spent on radio and TV ads
All of it is an attempt to extend an institution’s brand
beyond the traditional mailbox and into places where
prospective students are already spending large portions
of their adolescent life. With Facebook, Twitter and
LinkedIn already used by the majority, the race is on
to find the new platforms that will help admissions
departments gain an online advantage.
• One in 3 schools say social media is more efficient than traditional media in reaching their target audience (this number increases to 44% for top MBA programs)

• The most useful tools for recruiting undergraduates include Facebook (94%),YouTube (81%), Twitter (69%) and Downloadable Mobile Apps (51%)
Last year, the University of Massachusetts Dartmouth
released the results of an illuminating study into the
ways in which Higher Education Institutions in the US
were engaging with social media. The study showed that
social media can be useful in higher education in many
more areas than student recruitment, but also that there
was considerable work still to be done to ensure that
universities were getting the most from the technology

East Asian Partners visit UK for a Training
Workshop at Liverpool School of English
New Centre Based in Swaziland Benefits from
Training Session run by UK-based Customer

Janette Lister, Collaborations Manager, discussed
university rankings and new university articulations
including the University of Leeds and Manchester
Metropolitan University.
Three NCC Education partners from the East
Asian region travelled to the UK to attend training
sessions at Liverpool School of English – one of NCC
Education’s newly accredited International Foundation
Year (IFY) partner centres.
Dr James Stephenson spoke about how NCC
Education maintain their status as a high quality
awarding body, and mentioned some of our plans
for 2013 including the introduction of an online
journal library. Martin Buck, Programme Development
Manager discussed the launch of the new International
Foundation year, and about programme development
plans for 2013. Felicity Dale, Senior Marketing
Executive spoke about how NCC Education can assist
the partners centres in their student recruitment and
student satisfaction, she also discussed the upcoming
enhancements to the NCC Education website, in
particular the University Progression section.

The guests also then travelled to Manchester city
centre to experience the famous Manchester
Christmas Markets. One guest even had the
opportunity to visit Old Trafford, to watch Manchester
United play in the Champion’s League.
Managers from National University of Mongolia,
Bidinform and Guangzhou Institute of Technology
spent nearly two weeks in Liverpool, where they
took part in training workshops and visited local
attractions. The centre managers took the opportunity
to visit the University of Liverpool and Liverpool John
Moores University to discuss progression routes for
their students. Liverpool is a highly attractive student
destination. In 2004 the city became a UNESCO
World Heritage Site, and in 2008 Liverpool became
the first English city to be designated European Capital
of Culture in 2008. No wonder Liverpool is a top
International student destination.
On Wednesday 5th December the guests visited NCC
Education’s Head Office The staff were pleased to be
able to discuss the centres’ requirements and present
exciting new projects and initiatives for 2013.
The attendees from China and Mongolia with
NCC Education staff members
Rebecca is the customer service manager for over 25
centres based in Africa and works very closely with
the South African team. This visit created a perfect
opportunity to meet her co-workers face to face and
partake in a team building training session. The session
was designed to strengthen our internal processes to
ensure that our African centres receive a more efficient
service and will be rolled out companywide. The team
gained a greater understanding of each other’s roles to
enable them to grow and increase productivity.
Rebecca was extremely pleased with the centre’s
offerings; providing students with a fantastic environment
to complete their studies: “ IDM’s facilities are
unbelievable. They ensure that students have everything
they need to be able to excel in their studies; including
free Wi-Fi, well-equipped computer labs and auditoriums.
I was extremely impressed. ”
After meeting the team Rebecca then flew to
Swaziland to meet one of our Accredited Partner
Centres, the Institute of Development Management
(IDM). IDM was established in 1974 as a regional
organisation in Botswana, Lesotho and Swaziland (BLS)
to help meet the management needs of the region
through development activities. It operates under the
general direction of a governing board composed
of representatives from government, industry and
universities in each of the BLS countries.

Orbit Feburary Issue 2013
The campuses in Botswana and Swaziland both offer the
NCC Education Business, Business IT and Computing
degree pathways. Rebecca held a two day training
session on Connect and went through our processes
with the centre staff based in Swaziland. This session
was the perfect opportunity to meet the staff and forge
strong relationships with the centre. “ I have been
working with IDM Swaziland for the past few years
and we have had many conversations via email and
telephone. Whilst I was over there I was able to set up
a Skype account for them to create a more convenient
form of communication. It was fantastic to be able to
meet the centre staff in person. This training session was
crucial, and I can already see the positive impact it has
had on their administration.”
Rebecca Bennett, an NCC Education Senior Customer
Service Executive recently embarked on a trip to
our regional office in Cape Town and to one of our
Accredited Partner Centres based in the neighbouring
country of Swaziland.
Courage S Makumucha, the Head of Academics at the
centre said: “ It was really good having Rebecca here
and it was worth it, I am actually beginning to see some
changes in our operations since the visit. ”

INTERVIEW WITH Cherry Moe
Learnit Institute of Business and Technology
19th Graduation Ceremony
Global High Achiever - International Diploma in Business
Regent Business Academy
Cherry Moe is now an extremely successful restaurateur; she is the Managing
Director of a popular restaurant situation in one of Yangon’s busiest shopping
centres. How did Cherry achieve so much at such a young age?
Business and Computing, as well as British university
degrees in Computing and Business studies. With the
growing demand for trained professionals in these
fields, Learnit directs all its efforts to improving the
quality of its learning environment and the delivery of
its programmes, to meet the exacting standards set by
NCC Education and associated universities.
The graduation ceremony was heralded as a huge
success and a valuable and worthwhile experience for
students, guests and faculty members alike.
Graduates celebrating after the ceremony
NCC Education interrupted Cherry’s busy schedule to catch up with her and
see how her restaurant is coming along, and what her future plans are.
Hi Cherry, thank you for taking the time out of your busy
schedule to chat to us!
No problem, it is my pleasure.
October 20th 2012 marked a day of success and joy for
the graduates of NCC Education’s Accredited Partner
Centre Learnit Institute of Business and Technology,
Tanzania, as the centre celebrated its latest graduation
ceremony at Karimjee Hall.
Wow, sounds delicious. The pictures you sent us also look
fantastic. What plans have you got for the future?
So, last time we spoke it was 2010, and you had just
graduated from your business diploma. You were a
Global High Achiever right?
I plan to open a second branch this year, and hope to have five
branches in the next three years!
Yes! In June 2010 I was presented with the prestigious Global High
Achiever award. I could not believe that I had the highest mark in
the world for the International Diploma in Business, I still have my
plaque to remind me of this fantastic achievement – thank you NCC
Education!
The guest of honour: Hon Philipo Mulugo, Deputy
Minister for Ministry of Education & Vocational Training,
graced the occasion with his presence and Dr. Mary
Kiernan, Principal Lecturer of University of Greenwich,
was invited as the guest speaker. While congratulating
the graduates, Dr. Mary Kiernan shared the importance
of quality education in today’s world. Among those
present were the Managing Director of Soft-Tech Group,
Mr. Harish Bhatt, Director of Learnit Institute of Business
and Technology, Mrs. Sharmila Bhatt, Director of SoftTech Group, Ms. Bhakti Shah and the NCC Education
Senior Academic Support Manager, Mrs Bev Odonovan.
Sounds ambitious… good luck, and please let us know how
you are getting along. Thanks again for taking the time to
speak to us!
It’s no problem – here at NCC Education we know how much
time and effort students put into their studies, that’s why we
recognise high achieviers.
Graduates at the ceremony
When we last communicated you told NCC Education how
you dreamt of opening a restaurant. Two years down the
line, and here you are, the Managing Director of a hugely
successful restaurant.
I know! I have to pinch myself at times. It is through dedication,
application and passion I have been able to achieve this, I opened
my restaurant in 2011 and I am so happy with how it is growing. The
NCC Education business diploma enabled me to successfully run my
new business venture. The qualification taught me how to approach
and select strategies, how to make effective analyses, how to draw a
business plan, how to manage and control my employees and how to
promote my restaurant. If I hadn’t have studied the NCC Education
qualifications I would not have had this amount of success.
This year, 225 students graduated from the Diploma,
Advanced Diploma, Bachelor of Business IT and
Bachelor of Arts in Business Studies programmes, with

I noticed that there was a niche in the market for a restaurant for
teenagers; something bright, funky and new. Spicy Forest

customers can enjoy delicious Thai, Korean, European food and
various types of hot and cold drinks. I have themed the restaurant and
decorated it to create a cool, relaxing, fashionable environment. The
forest themed allowed me to really be creative with the décor and
the furniture – I have tree trunk shaped tables and leaf shaped chairs.
Our signature dish is something which I have invented, and a first for
Myanmar – a rice burger! People agree with me – it is delicious!
“ The qualification taught me how to approach
and select strategies, how to make effective analyses, how to draw a business plan, how to
manage and control my employees and how to
promote my restaurant. If I hadn’t have studied
the NCC Education qualifications I would not
have had this amount of success. “

WELCOME TO
Director for North of England Operations.
Middle East &
South Asia Region
I have really enjoyed the start of my time at NCC
Education, I am passionate about what we are trying
to achieve as an organisation and the opportunities
this brings students and partner centres all over the
world. I have a proven track record in leadership and
in forging sustained successful business to business
relationships and will look to replicate this at NCC
Education in my work throughout the UK, Europe and
South America – I look forward to working with you
all in the future.

Kindest Regards,

Warm greetings!
Hi all,
My name is BeeBee Gan, and I have recently joined
NCC Education as the new Regional Director for
South East Asia, Middle East and South Asia.
I am very passionate about education. I wish to use
my vast experience to work collaboratively with NCC
Education Accredited Partner Centres. I truly believe
in giving people the opportunity to access high quality
and globally recognised qualifications no matter their
geographical location.
With a total population of over 2 billion in these three
regions, I am very enthusiastic to get started in my
new role and I can’t wait to start contributing my part
to the business development opportunities in these
regions. I have already begun to put my first plan into
play; I have touched base with many of our current
partners in the region and already forged strong
relationships. The key to any successful relationship
building is communication.
NCC Education is pleased to announce that there will
be two NCC Education offices across my territory
to support all partner centres productively. The NCC
Education offices are based in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia
and Bangalore, India. We look forward to a very
promising 2013 and many good years ahead.
Previous to this role, I was the Director of Education
at the British Council Malaysia and also the Regional
Manager of British Council East Asia. I have worked
in the education industry for over 30 years. My career
began as a specialist teacher in the early 1980s, I
then went on to complete my degrees in TESL and
Education Management in the United Kingdom. In my
30 years in the industry I have held various roles from
business development at a university to teaching to
management to training!
Best wishes,
BeeBee Gan

Bell’s flagship centre has enjoyed a multi-million pound redevelopment to further improve the learning experience of the
thousands of students who study here each year. It also puts Bell Cambridge at the forefront of English language teaching,
improving its educational and social facilities, and ensuring that learning is at the heart of every aspect of the school from its
technology to resources and facilities.

NCC Education Staff Organise Christmas Donation
Christmas is the time of giving and sharing. This year NCC Education decided to create a staff Christmas card,
asking staff to donate money to local charities: Francis House, based near the Head Office and One Foundation
a charity based in China. Francis House was opened in November 1999 by the late princess Diana and provides
care for children with life-limiting conditions, and support for their family. One Foundation was founded by Jet Li,
an ambassador for the Red Cross Society of China. The charity provides disaster relief and sets out to educate the
Chinese nation on the tangible benefits of charity work.

a Christmas to remember
families here. Christmas has always been about sharing and
giving. We just wanted to give them something to remember
and show that the world has people that do care for one
another irrespective of what you go through. ” Mark said.
The group arranged for a full Christmas dinner, with all
the trimmings and a sing-a-long carol service. The day was
a great success and Mark, his family and the church were
praised and thanked for their efforts.
Mark David, a Customer Services Executive carried out
some personal charity work over the festive period. His local
church arranged a fun-filled day for Burmese AIDs victims
and political refugees.
“ We only live once and we have to try and do what is best
for the sake of humanity. A group from my local church
wanted to spend quality time with them as they have no
