SOP Sample for Certificate in Business Administration in Canada

Statement of Purpose – Post-Graduate Certificate in Business Administration

I always believe that successful business quests are what take human's live further and I have constantly observed this as my father is a businessman himself. I have observed my father manage people, make business decisions, and work hard to ensure that the business runs well. It has constantly motivated and intrigued me to grow and become an entrepreneur. I come from a business family associated with diamond trading. I want to build the 21st century B2B marketplace for the global diamond industry where the businesses from mines to market can buy and sell diamonds securely, profitably, and efficiently. I have learned some of these management lessons through my professional journey at [COMPANY_NAME]. However, the bigger learning has been the need for full-time management qualification to prepare me for assuming bigger responsibility than of an entrepreneur. Therefore, I have selected the Post-Graduate Certificate in Business Administration program at your prestigious university.

My aptitudes branded me as a capable student right from school studies. I completed my schooling at [SCHOOL_NAME] in [CITY]. As I was passionate about Mathematics and Physics from a young age, an engineering degree in Mechanical Engineering was an instinctive decision for me. I joined the [UNIVERSITY_NAME] for my graduation and finished the course with a CGPA of 8.83. This program bestowed me with a comprehensive understanding of the basic concepts of thermodynamics, solid mechanics, metallurgy, kinematics, and control systems. The most important outcome of the course is the ability to analyse a problem systematically and apply analytical and logical thinking skills to solve the problem. I was among the top scorers of my college. I have also undertaken the PG course in project management with a major in project finance from [UNIVERSITY_NAME], [CITY], leading to developing an all-rounded knowledge of financing large projects and streamlining my career in the investment banking field.

In addition to academics, I have been an energetic participator in various co-curricular activities at the college level. I was elected as youngest General Secretary during my graduation. Also, I served as a founding member of '[ORGANIZATION_NAME]' – College Social group that educates children of labourers. I was also elected as Secretary of [UNIVERSITY_NAME] [CLUB_NAME] during my PG course, maintained an accurate membership roster & kept club files and records at [CLUB_NAME]. These roles and responsibilities have nurtured my skill in leadership and presentation/communication.

I am currently an employee at [COMPANY_NAME] in [CITY]. As a trade cycle analyst, I work closely with traders to ensure the successful settlement of trades and robust stakeholder management among various custodians and brokers across the globe. I am also in charge of managing the department's compliances for ensuring all team's SOPs are updated regularly and formatted as per audit guidelines. I have supported the migration of static data function from [CITY] (UK) to [CITY] in 2017 whilst retaining a Green monthly scorecard ranking from the Client. This 2 month stay in the UK had given a great exposure to my career when I learned the end-to-end trade cycle. As a part of my professional life, working with expert traders with years of experience has given me many professional insights.

As a student, I was enthralled by the things I could accomplish with my technical expertise. I did not realize the significant role of management in the success of the firm until much later. Technical proficiency and management skills must go hand in hand to enable the proper execution of plans and the progress of any venture. While thinking of my career progression, the pursuit of higher education in a program that can introduce me to the world of management seemed like a logical step forward. This is how I decided to acquire a Post-Graduate Certificate in Business Administration.

I choose PG in Business Administration program for my further education because every venture necessitates having the skills for administering projects. This course will refine my professional knowledge with adequate insights into commencing, scheduling, implementing, directing, and concluding large-scale projects. Although I have some practical experience with these procedures, I find them lacking and disordered. I decided to opt for an overseas academy as the extent of exposure that Indian institutions can offer is relatively narrow. Besides, a globally recognized university can provide a universal understanding of deploying business strategies.

My biggest reason for selecting Canada for higher studies is the excellence of training provided by the academies in the country. As a scientifically progressive nation, Canada offers trade-oriented education with sufficient stress on applied learning. Compared to other nations like the UK and Australia, education is reasonably charged for international students like me, who hope to embrace a dynamic career.

The course offered by [UNIVERSITY_NAME] interests me a lot. Further investigating the college and its faculty has assured me that your PG program will give me the best opportunity to hone my talents and accomplish my goals. The reputation of Canada as an amiable place for foreign students also encouraged me to opt for your academy.

I believe that this program will leverage my business perception and prepare me for building a truly global company. After completing this course, I will return to India to start up the business operations for the future infrastructure of diamond trading. I feel confident that this course will get me ready for starting up and managing a business. I look forward to be a part of the progressive academic environment at your institution.
