The Institute of Chartered Accountants of Sri Lanka (ICASL) in collaboration with the Cambridge University (ESOL), is now ready to make available an international qualification in Sri Lanka.

The Cambridge International Certificate in Financial English (ICFE) will commence on February 27. The Cambridge ICFE is an internationally recognized course consisting of 75 percent online learning with a 25 percent lecturer contact component for aspiring professionals to take them to greater heights in their career. This blended learning brings candidates the combined advantages of the convenience of an online program and the hands-on benefits of classroom learning. It is poised to have a great impact in the field of finance and accounting and validates first-rate English language skills and the ability to converse with finance and accounting professionals throughout the international business community.

A team of six English language lecturers from leading universities in the country having a wealth of experience in corporate training and skills development will conduct the classroom sessions. The British Council with whom ICASL is in partnership for conducting IELTS has once again joined hands together in delivering this course with the Cambridge ICFE exams conducted by them.

Under the guidance of the Country Examinations Manager, Kishore Roy and master training facilitated by Examiner Professional Support Manager, Philip Bebb have provided a comprehensive teacher training program that has made all the ICASL lecturers well equipped with the mastery of necessary skills to launch the course on February 27.
