Since its inception, in 2003, Oxford College of Business has provided students with a means to earn internationally recognised, professional qualifications, in Sri Lanka. Oxford College of Business, which prides itself on its dedicated panel of lecturers and first-rate facilities, maintains affiliations with the Association of Business Executives (UK), Australian Institute of Business Administration (Australia), and Herriot Watt University (UK), to name a few.
The Management of Oxford College of Business would like to Congratulate Ms. Sonia Ariff and Ms. Dinithi Vishara for their outstanding achievement. Furthermore the Managing Director of OCB also added that "it brings great pride and honour to be able to continuously produce world prize winners at every ABE examination consecutively since 2004. OCB is the only institute in the country which has been able to maintain such a track record which clearly differentiates OCB from the rest of the ABE providers in the country. Once a student joins OCB they are molded and disciplined to face challenges and meet organizational objectives at junior management levels. We feel this is a very important foundation which needs to be embedded into executives at junior levels of management, in addition to giving young executives the self confidence and a qualification to brag about."
Students who successfully complete the course are inducted as professional members of the Association of Business Executives, UK, which makes them eligible to sit for degree finals in many universities, both locally and internationally.
