Journey of
Success
From ICCD to IIPD
A
pre-school teacher training course named as Early Childhood Education was
introduced by ICCD and it became very popular. As the student population
increased so did the faculty and in 2009, ICCD campus was moved to a bigger
campus and the name ICCD was changed to International Institute for
Professional Development or IIPD. Similar to ICCD, IIPD too is under the
company Mianz Pvt. Ltd. The name of IIPD was approved by Margareta Funder, the
Manager of ITC, It is no more a career development centre as it became
Professional Development Institute. IIPD became a Franchise of the largest
training company in India the Aptech Computer Education. With this, IIPD opened
another campus for IT education in Male’. IIPD has more than 700 students with
over 30 staff. There are part time local teachers too. IIPD has been trying to
start a preschool programme and has already partnered with International
Preschools in four countries. International preschool program is run by a
Florida, USA based company. It has many branches throughout the world. The
motto of IIPD is "Inspiring Excellence". IIPD remains with education
and training. The long term mission is to establish a dream university where it
will groom the students to make great leaders, entrepreneurs, a complete human
being who will be ready to contribute to the community and the world. IIPD will
become global soon, It will start with its pre-school and Future Leader
Program. It focuses the countries in South and East Asia and in East Africa.
Future Leader Programme
The
Future Leader Programme is the brain child of Ahmed Mottaki who was a cofounder
of the Institute. Mr. Mottaki was a business teacher by profession and a
faculty head of Aminiya School, a top notch school owned by the Ministry of
Education in Maldives. Mr. Mottaki was thinking something different. He felt
that the nation will greatly benefit if there is a children’s programme where
children could enhance leadership skills. He started participating in
leadership seminars, reading books, meeting leaders and reading philosophy of
the leaders and the traits of great leaders. After studying and researching a
lot, he introduced a programme called Future Leader Programme in 2008 where
children, learn leadership skills, work in groups, enjoy activities, are able
to overcome their inner fears, build confidence and many more. The programme
has been very popular in Maldives. Parents from many other countries showed
interest for their kids to participate in this programme. With the success of
this programme, ICCD became very popular in the community.

International Supply Chain Management by International Trade Centre (ITC) , a
technical organization of the United Nations. By obtaining the license, ICCD
