Achievers have proved to be the specialist in CIMA education in Sri Lanka for their extraordinary performances of the students. We continue to marvel the CIMA education industry with such brilliant performances. Surely, there must be something different in what we do…something that remains unobtainable elsewhere. This secret ingredient that has contributed to our unbeatable victories is what makes us unique. It is without doubt our incredible and dynamic Lecture panel, which has defined and shaped Achievers over the past 5 years and put us in the limelight continuously for extraordinary academic results. Our lecture panel which comprises of the most professional and ethical individuals, is probably the best that Sri Lanka has ever known. These outstanding performances by Achievers can be directly attributed to our excellent lecturers, who possess incredible knowledge of all aspects of the business world - which is extremely vital to CIMA education.
