Since its inception in 2006, Achievers Lanka Business School has revolution­ed the education sector, introducin­g game-changing products to Sri Lankan students. The institute is recognized as a leading institute for CIMA in Sri Lanka, and Achievers Lanka Business School once again made history, entering into an agreement with BPP Profession­al Education based in UK. The agreement recognizes Achievers Lanka as the exclusive partner of BPP Profession­al Education, allowing the institute to deliver blended learning courses for the CIMA Profession­al Qualificat­ion. This product is the first of its kind to be introduced in Sri Lanka.

“We were looking for a new partner to join and enhance our quality of education,” said Mr Ravi Edirisingh­eChairman Achievers Lanka Business School, addressing a gathering of colleagues from Achievers Lanka and BPP, students of Achievers Lanka as well as members of the media, “We are delighted to be working with BPP to deliver blended learning CIMA courses, allowing students to not only study in the classroom but also remotely via BPP’s award winning Online Classroom”.

Blended learning incorporat­es elements of the modern digital age, where everything from the way we learn to the way we work has changed. Blended learning is rapidly becoming a popular method of delivery throughout the world, supporting and enhancing existing teaching techniques. It combines elements of interactiv­e teaching with greater variety and flexibilit­y, responding to the needs of the student.

Over the years BPP has built up a reputation for excellence, producing a number of students who have gone on to win top world prizes at CIMA. Managing Director of Achievers Lanka Business School- Mr Faris Ismail, who also addressed the gathering, spoke of the number of advantages that Sri Lankan students would gain through the blended learning pro- gramme, stating that as BPP now has a University and caters to different sectors including law, healthcare, marketing & HR and accountanc­y.

CIMA students in Sri Lanka can now use BPP’s online learning materials in their classrooms at Achievers Lanka Business School, making use of the blended learning approach. Moreover, they can also study with BPP’s award winning Online Classroom from the comforts of their own homes. The BPP Momentum online learning platform will be an ideal tool for selfstudy to the students.

Sri Lanka is the largest market for the CIMA Profession­al Qualificat­ion outside the UK, one of the key reasons why BPP elected to form the partnershi­p with Achievers Lanka Business School, according to Internatio­nal Sales Director of BPP Profession­al Education- Mr. Simon Morris. Addressing the gathering, he also mentioned that Achievers Lanka Business School has a vision that complement­s that of BPP Profession­al Education.
