Success stories often begin with a single decision — the choice to invest in education that shapes both personal and professional growth. For Nasser Salazar, a proud Pearson BTEC HND Business Management graduate from SISFU, that decision strengthened his leadership and expanded his global perspective while already serving as a Supervisor at Etihad Airways.

Pursuing his HND in Business Management at SISFU became a defining chapter in Nasser’s journey. Balancing a full-time leadership role with academic commitments taught him accountability, time management, and the importance of prioritization — key traits for success in the aviation industry. The program also enhanced his ability to evaluate opportunity costs and make critical decisions, skills that continue to guide him in managing both personal and professional challenges.

The Pearson BTEC HND programme at SISFU provided Nasser with valuable insights into organizational behavior, leadership, and problem-solving — knowledge he applies daily at Etihad Airways. These lessons have refined his leadership style, strengthened his communication with diverse teams, and improved his capacity to make strategic decisions with confidence.

A key turning point came when Nasser led a diverse team during a critical operation at Etihad. The ability to adapt, communicate clearly, and maintain morale under pressure reflected how SISFU’s training translated into real-world leadership. The experience reinforced his confidence in managing people and delivering results in high-stakes environments.

Through SISFU’s partnership with Pearson, Nasser gained a world-class education that blends theory with practice. The business management curriculum’s emphasis on critical analysis and strategic evaluation helped him approach operational challenges more effectively and lead his team with greater efficiency and insight.

From classroom to cockpit operations, Nasser Salazar’s journey exemplifies how SISFU’s education empowers professionals to elevate their careers, enhance their leadership, and thrive in a global environment.
