Commenting on the successes, CIMA Sri Lanka Country Head Radley Stephen stated, “It’s encouraging to observe the rapid change in exam pass rates of Sri Lankan students. Over the past three exam diets, pass rates of students in Sri Lanka have seen significant improvements, reflecting the commitment and hard work of colleges and lecturers in training CIMA students towards achieving their goals. Whilst congratulating students who have been successful, thereby helping to reinstate the confidence of students taking exams through their hard work; we encourage students to avail of the facilities such as free practice exams available in CIMA offices, learning resources from the library and CIMAconnect, an online study support community. All these initiatives will help boost exam success even further.”

CIMA students and members are qualified to drive business success in any organisation, not only in finance.
