ShadWell’S, a UK-based professional education services provider, will commence operations from Technopark here next Wednesday (July 25).

The company has seven campuses in India, including one each in Delhi and Bangalore, Mr Tom B. Mannapurathu, chief executive, told newspersons here.

TUIITION PROVIDER

It is an approved tuition provider for professional examinations in accounting and finance conducted by Association of Chartered Certified Accountants (ACCA) of the UK and Chartered Institute of Management Accountants (CIMA), India.

Campuses at Infopark, Kochi, Kozhikode and Thrissur are among the few approved ACCA tuition providers in the State with prestigious ACCA ‘Gold’ status.

This is in recognition of the quality of teaching, facilities provided for students and pass rate in examinations, Mr Tom said.

ShadWell’S is also the first approved learning partner of CIMA in the State. It is an authorised centre for on-line examinations conducted by both ACCA and CIMA.

ADDITIONAL SKILLS

While a degree in commerce and professional accounting qualification open opportunities for a global career, it is also essential that Indian students acquire additional skills to render themselves employable.

ShadWell’S is in the business of creating ready-for-job professionals acceptable to employers worldwide rather than carrying out coaching for examinations.

This is sought to be achieved through soft-skill training, intellect empowerment sessions and interactions with outstanding professionals in finance and management. Ernst & Young has recently entered into a pact with ShadWell’S for coaching employees for ACCA examinations in India.

Mr V. Venugopal, chief finance officer, and Mr Suby Kurien, head – administration, ShadWell’S, were present.
