Guru.lk achieves milestone in sale of study packs for banking exams
Guru.lk (www.guru.lk), Sri Lanka’s leading provider of online study courses in multiple disciplines, has reported a milestone in the sale of study packs for banking examinations conducted by the Institute of Bankers of Sri Lanka (IBSL), the company said.
It said the sale of subject courses for the Intermediate in Applied Banking and Finance (IABF) and Diploma in Applied Banking and Finance (DABF) examinations had surpassed 5,000 in the past 18 months, underlining its popularity. Guru.lk is the accredited Online Learning Centre for IBSL examinations in Sri Lanka.
Guru.lk’s study packs for students sitting these examinations are available online as well as on DVD in Sinhala, and cover the full syllabus. They also contain model questions and answers for each section and entitle students who purchase them to participate in a webinar on each subject, conducted by a leading luminary from the banking sector, close to the examination date, it said.
Costing less than a third of a student’s outlay on physically following a class, these online study packs also cater to mid-career students who may be hardpressed to find time to attend classes as well as students in areas where classes may be unavailable, the company said.
“We are delighted with the success of our products for banking students,” said Hasitha Dela, CEO of Headstart (Pvt) Ltd., the owner of Guru.lk. “Their popularity can be attributed to the phenomenal pass rates already achieved by students who used them, the convenience of online study and the affordability of our study packs.” Anjana Jayasinghe, a bank officer from Haputale commented: “As a student who has not done Commerce subjects for the A/L examination and has limited access to classes, I find the banking study pack to be of immeasurable value as it helped me to get through the banking exams.”
