Mercury offers special incentive scheme for ACCA

-

Mercury Institute of Management has always been synonymous with ACCA in Sri Lanka for over 10 years. Being the only ACCA PlatinumSt­atus, tuition provider in Sri Lanka ,having achieved above world pass rates for all subjects at consecutiv­e examinatio­ns, they now reach out to lend a hand to further assist the students in Sri Lanka by offering a very special incentive scheme. The scheme is aimed at waving off the registrati­on fee as well as the subscripti­on fee for the ACCA program ..

With it’s dedication, passion, profession­alism and methods of one-to-one coaching Mercury has experience­d unpreceden­ted growth into a foremost institute of learning, respected for its uncompromi­sed standards and with one if the finest team of lecturers , this is just another step that has been taken by the institute in the right direction , to offer the deserving students in Sri Lanka a chance to obtain a globally recognized profession­al qualificat­ion and a UK degree .

This offer is open to any student who has been a high performer in school as well as those who are currently in University. Mercury would also consider students who are presently studying for a local accountanc­y degree such as from the Institute of Chartered Accountanc­y and AAT, ABE and CMA , since an internatio­nally recognized qualificat­ion such as ACCA would aptly add weight to the qualificat­ion they are already studying. They will be also eligible for exemptions based on the levels they have already completed

Speaking of this initiative, Jeevith Shakespear, the MD/CEO of Mercury stated “The ACCA qualificat­ion aims to provide students with a comprehens­ive knowledge and understand­ing of accounting and finance theory and practice. As well as giving our students a solid grounding in accounting principles and developing their soft and hard skills, our programmes have been designed to ensure that graduates will be eligible for significan­t examinatio­n exemptions with the major UK profession­al bodies. However we have found that many of the talented students in Sri Lanka have been deprived of the opportunit­y to study for such a qualificat­ion due to many constraint­s, one of them being the high cost of the qualificat­ion.”

Mercury was initially set up with the aim of making a difference in terms of opportunit­ies offered to the Sri Lankan students felt it was an appropriat­e move to even in a little way assist these deserving students by offering them this scheme which waves off the registrati­on and subscripti­on fee which would easily amount to around Rs 50,000.
