In the CIMA curriculum, the Managerial level marks a significant milestone. It is an important hurdle for any CIMA student, without the passing of which, he or she cannot proceed further. Difficult, yet not impossible: Wisdom, the pioneer CIMA institute in Sri Lanka, is here at your service.
Renowned for its high quality CIMA education coupled with a balanced approach to teaching, your choice just cannot go wrong with wisdom. Why? Because Wisdom offers you a holistic training, which will mould you to emerge as the ideal corporate citizen you aspire to be.
Wisdom offers you the best possible lecture panel for Managerial Level; a bunch of diverse individuals with the most relevant and exciting corporate experience. Rest assured they are not the boring book-worm lecturers despised whole-heartedly by students. They are rather the opposite, with teaching skills and capabilities rendering them so competent that the most boring areas of the syllabus become interesting under their guidance.
Hasitha Premaratne, Wisdom’s very own and highly popular lecturer for Performance Management will make sure that you are not at a loss when it comes to the technicalities of the subject. Whether it's the tedious calculations or the theoretical aspects, Hasitha will ensure that your mind sticks on the matter.
Heading the finance function at Brandix Lanka (Pvt) Ltd, Hasitha's diverse and colourful corporate experience adds flavour to his classes. And to bear testimony to this fact, he has produced over 12 Sri Lankan prize winners during his lecturing career of 10 years, while also having received the CIMA 'Tutor of the Year' Award for 2009. To take a look at his academic and professional qualifications, Hasitha holds a MBA in International Finance and a BSc in Computer Science, while being an associate member of CIMA, the Society of Certified Management Accountants and a fellow member of ACCA. Can you possibly ask for (and get!) more than that?
To take you on course a subject despised by the math loving Sri Lankan students i.e. Enterprise Management, Wisdom brings you Tharindu Ameresekere, the young and vibrant lecturer who has received much praise and acclaim from his students over the past 6 years. Tharindu's profile boasts of a number of academic and professional qualifications that include a Bachelors Degree in computing, many Masters Degrees and many more diplomas. It may be of interest to you to note that Tharindu is the only EM lecturer in Sri Lanka to hold a Masters Degree in Project Management, a vital component of the EM syllabus.
Tharindu's combined local and international experience renders him the perfect lecturer for a theory related subject in the like of EM, where building the link between theory and practicality will never lose importance. His keenness on practicing Corporate Stimulus Teaching, where theory is aligned with real world companies, has won him a large fan club amongst CIMA students. And if you feel your skills in the writing department can do with a bit of a polish, Tharindu may well be the person for you.
And for the all important financial pillar subject, Financial Management, Wisdom has in store for you two of the most versatile financial guru's in Sri Lanka.
Mallik De Silva, who has found much favour amongst his students as a friendly and approachable person, has secured under his belt over 15 years worth of lecturing experience.

An associate member of the Institute of Chartered Accountants of Sri Lanka and a fellow member of the Chartered Institute of Management Accountants, UK, he also has an MSc in Financial Management from University of the West of England.
