Mercury opens special ACCA second batch

The growing demand from A/Level students seeking enrolment at Mercury, has compelled the Institute to create a first-time-ever second batch to accommodate students after A/Level results.

Mercury which is the country’s forerunner in ACCA education for decades has been the No 1 choice of students looking to receive the best quality education. Mercury’s newly crowned Platinum status has now made the institute even more sought-after and the automatic choice of students aspiring for the prized ACCA professional qualification. Platinum status is only conferred on tuition providers who achieve pass rates of all subjects above world pass rates in consecutive sessions. Mercury is the only Sri Lankan institute to achieve this world highest standard.

ACCA Sri Lanka Country Manager Aruni Rajakarier said, “Platinum level accreditation is the highest and most prestigious level of ACCA’s accreditation programme. To be considered for Platinum approval, tuition providers must meet the challenging performance targets that have been demonstrated to attain Gold approval and meet ACCA’s Platinum performance targets and Platinum pass-rate targets over two consecutive sets of results. This is not an easy task and is a result of the commitment Mercury has made to put in place systems and processes to monitor and continuously improve the performance of their students and consequently the performance of the institute itself. We congratulate Mercury on their achievement and look forward to working together with them to grow ACCA in Sri Lanka.”

Mercury’s second batch is loaded with high-value incentives to encourage students all the way to the top. Special incentives will be offered to high performers at A/Levels and O/Levels with scholarships up to 100% of course fee up for grabs. Additionally, Mercury provides free original UK study material worth over Rs. 20,000/- for each and every student. The creation of Mercury’s second batch keeps in line with the institute’s unique and highly successful policy of size-controlled classes which ensures maximum student/lecturer interaction leading to higher pass rates and a guarantee of student success. The values enshrined by Mercury are the criteria which paved the way for the institute to receive the coveted Platinum Tuition Provider Status which is the highest ACCA credential for tuition providers in the world and the first and only one of its’ kind in Sri Lanka.

The Institute’s high standard of success is driven by its proven panel of professional lecturers led by T P L Raj who was also a former president of the ACCA Council in Sri Lanka for several years, Shaan Jayasekera, Wazeer Ahamed, Shehan Fernando, George Anthony Fernando, Janith Kalana Gunasiri, Balachandran Prassanna, Dilshad Jiffry, M F Nazar, Anuk Jayasuriya, Thilina Ukwatta and Rikzy Easa, all renowned lecturers in their respective fields.

The teaching methods adopted by the institute is based on “doing the basics right”, which includes a structured approach in teaching and study methods geared for exam success such as, full coverage of syllabus, focusing in detail on all subject areas and teaching students to interpret questions and tackle them successfully, revision at the end of each session in the form of mini mock and full mock examinations, legible writing, time management and interactive sessions to allow students to voice their suggestions, ideas or doubts.
