Professional Education

Professional Education in Sri Lanka has reached phenomenal heights. As each year sees a number of students passing out at the Advanced Level Examinations, it is only the top most grades that gain admission for choice professions such as Doctors and Engineers. In this too the numbers are limited due to lack of adequate seats.

In the backdrop of this scenario a number of Institutes cater to the needs of students by providing Professional Education for globally recognized qualifications such as CIMA, ACCA and CIM. In general all Institutes claim to offer the best in tuition and facilities. However the discerning students should take time to consider the choice of the Institute.

Mercury Institute established at the end of 2001 is the youngest Institute in the city that has obtained the CIMA Quality Partnership Accreditation from CIMA UK within three years of its existence. It is the only Institute accredited by ACCA to provide tuition for all three parts of the ACCA Professional Course. It is also the only institute to have completed four successive sessions of providing tuition for Level 1 of the CFA Charter.

True to its name what makes Mercury as unique as it is? First and foremost it is the pass rates. Since its inception the pass rates at Mercury have been well above the Sri Lankan pass rates for the CIMA program. Regulations prohibit the publishing of specific pass rates.

However the facts and figure are there for all to know. The pass rates for ACCA has always been in par with world pass rates, even exceeding it at times. In year 2005 at both Examinations in June and December the pass rates have met the criteria set by ACCA for the consideration of grant of the Premier Plus Accreditation.

The CBA Examination for CIMA Certificate Level has established a continuous pass rate of over 90% from the inception. At the newly established CBE Examination from year 2005 for ACCA one student secured the all time high of 100 marks, with another student following close second with 98 marks. Thus the undoubted fact of Mercury's progress to success has primarily been its pass rate criteria.

How does Mercury achieve these results? It is solely due to the excellent coaching provided by a highly qualified and much experienced Lecture Panel. The dedicated coaching provided by the committed team of Lecturers, the perfectly planned lecture programs, the comprehensive coverage of syllabus, thorough revision programs coupled with examination type questions practices have all added up to the prestigious position the Institute holds today.

And now strengthened with the progress and developments achieved thus far and in compliance to requests from numerous students the Mercury Institute is all geared to launch the CIM program in June 2006. Initially providing tuition for the first two levels for the December 2006 semester the Institute assures the inclusion of level three for the year 2007 curriculum.

CIM is the largest and most prestigious Marketing Organization in the world with over 60,000 members and students worldwide. It equips Marketers with the knowledge and tools needed to forge ahead and excel in today's competitive and challenging marketing profession.

CIM has gained the reputation in Business as the leading voice of marketing. Each year more and more employers seek the services of CIM members for their senior marketing roles. On successful completion of three levels and 35 hours of CPD (Continuous Professional Development) the student achieves the prestigious qualification as a Chartered Marketer.

The excellent panel of lecturers assures a comprehensive and success orientated lecture program with timely coverage of syllabus. CIM at Mercury leads you to success in your career.

The ambience at Mercury is perfect for studies. State of the art lecture rooms, small sized (No overcrowding) fully air-conditioned and fitted with Multi Media projectors. What more can one asks for? The free issue of study material is a value added item to the course fees.

Unlimited number of hours for CBA Exam practices and 100% merit based scholarship at CIMA Foundation Level are further incentives offered to the students. Putting all these into one bag makes Mercury Institute unique as it is.
