When ICON Business School (Pvt) Ltd launched back in January 2018, it was founded on the vision and mission of a few select leading ACCA lecturers in Sri Lanka, and focused on one goal , to become the preferred ACCA delivery center in the country and the market leader for ACCA by the end of 2020.
This ambitious task was achieved with a culmination of two fronts.
The first, being a strong focus on acquiring the strongest panel of qualified and experienced ACCA lecturers, who were arguably some of the best practitioners of their subjects in the country.
The panel at ICON consists of a unique mix of top University graduates, Corporate Gurus, Masters Graduates and qualified corporate professionals who have reached the pinnacle of Marketing, Law, Tax and Finance qualifications respectively.

This single minded approach to success has drawn rich dividend in the form of ICON registering 750 students for the 2018 term thereby contributing strongly to establishing ICON Business School as a premier delivery partner for ACCA in Sri Lanka, all within the first 12 months of operations.
With this unprecedented growth and success, ICON have now embarked on expanding to a brand new premises.
