Technical Educator at Malawi Government and MANEB moderator refining national Metalworks and Technical Drawing exams.

Malawi

Message

At Malawi Government’s Blantyre Secondary School, I teach metalworks, technical drawing, and woodworks, including safe workshop practice and the use of AutoCAD and SolidWorks.

Since 2025, I’ve moderated MANEB examinations in Metalworks and Drawing. I review question papers, practical cut sheets, drawings, and sampled candidate work, and prepare feedback reports on instructional gaps.

At Malawi University of Business and Applied Sciences, I taught undergraduate Production Technology, Workshop Practice, and Technical Drawing from 2022 to 2024. I also supervised practical workshops and assessed students’ technical projects.

As Center Manager / Institutional Head at FACE Vocational Training Institute from 2019 to 2022, I managed daily operations and worked with TEVETA to align training and assessment with national standards. I also built partnerships with district councils, donor organizations, and local industries.
