CIMA Sri Lanka records highest passes

The world business management body CIMA, recorded the highest ever number to complete TOPCIMA in Sri Lanka at a single diet, where 301 students completed the final examination at the May 2009 diet.

The results of the May examination is a 17 percent increase from the last examination diet in November 2008. The increase in pass rates is not only encouraging to the tuition providers who have over the years specialized in CIMA training but is also a boost to the corporate world where CIMA is seen as the most sought after qualification for management positions.

CIMA Regional Director for South Asia and Middle East Bradley Emerson said the CIMA tuition providers who are probably the best for their commitment in preparing the students for this global examination. Whilst we are very pleased with the performance of our students, we will continue to work on improving our tuition delivery.

Sri Lanka's pass rates at the recent examinations showed a 60 per cent increase when compared with previous examination diets. It is particularly pleasing to note that the pass rate of the final TOP CIMA paper has improved to 51 percent from 49 percent at the last examination diet.

These are invaluable tools for examination success, and CIMA recommends that this area of the website is accessed regularly. In addition to the student e-magazine Velocity CIMAstudy.com, the only CIMA-endorsed online resources, are now available for all levels of the CIMA qualification - Certificate, Managerial.
