Wisdom which has produced 7 World prize winners and 79 Sri Lanka prize winners so far continued its winning streak by bagging three more prestigious wins for Sri Lanka during the November 2009 examination. The winners include Gayathrie Thiruvalluar and Shashika Fernando, the joint 1st Sri Lanka prizes for Management Accounting Performance Evaluation and Shangeetha Sivasothy for Management Accounting Decision Management the 1st in Sri Lanka.

Gayathri Thiruvalluar commented on her achievement: "From the time I started my CIMA Foundation Level, I followed classes at Wisdom. So the foundation for the exams was initially built by Wisdom. In my opinion, all lecturers were very helpful in providing the required knowledge for us. The revision programmes conducted and the revision tutorials given were very helpful in making us more focused towards the exam. The mock exams held towards the latter part helped us to get used to exam conditions, improve our speed, helped identify our weaknesses and gradually reduced our exam fear. The credit should go to the lecturers, for all of these".

Meanwhile, Shashika Fernando pointed out "The teaching I received at Wisdom was very exam focused which I believe contributed greatly to my success. Mr. Sugeeth Patabendige is a phenomenal teacher who is wholeheartedly committed towards bringing out the best in his students. I would definitely recommend Wisdom to my friends."

Shangeetha Sivasothy said "I joined Wisdom for my Foundation Level and I started my CIMA career there. Wisdom is one of the best CIMA training partners in Sri Lanka. Wisdom has provided me a sound platform for CIMA education and it delivers meaningful and high quality education. The infrastructure and the facilities at Wisdom are quite comfortable. The coverage of syllabus is assured at Wisdom. I would not be able to achieve this Sri Lanka prize without my lecturer, Mr. Hasitha Premaratne.
