Whether you have completed O/Ls, just started A/Ls or completed A/Ls, each of you has one goal in mind, to decide on a career path that most suits you and one that will reap you the greatest benefits. Whether you are in the Science stream hoping to be a doctor, or in the Maths field hoping to be an engineer, or in the Commerce field wanting to be in business, for each of you the decision to be made is the same.

What next?
If you are one of the many students who want a successful career, "what do I do now" is a question that pops in your mind ever so often. Nowadays the choices for higher education are endless and students are bombarded with various options. Wouldn't it be great to have one qualification that can give you access to many different careers, so that your options are limitless?

Why CIMA?
The key aspect of a CIMA qualified professional lies in differentiation. CIMA produces professionals who are financially qualified business leaders and possess the competence to function in all areas of an organisation. Further to instilling strong accounting fundamentals, the CIMA curriculum incorporates Strategic Business and Management, enabling you to work across an organisation and not just in finance. To put it simply, a CIMA graduate can operate in any area of an organisation thus infinitely increasing opportunities.

An important point to note about this qualification is that there are many students in university who also pursue CIMA as a secondary qualification. The diverse nature of CIMA makes it compatible with practically any career so much so that some students studying to be doctors also see this qualification as being beneficial to their careers in the future. Further, a survey done by the Labour Department in Sri Lanka indicates that the CIMA qualification is the No. 1 choice for employers. Currently CIMA students have a 90% employability rate in the country.
Wouldn't it be great for you to have a qualification that gives you the highest chance of successful employment?
