Shaping Statistical Leaders
Discover our mission to advance statistical literacy and analytical excellence across Sri Lanka through evidence-based education and professional development.
Our Story
Founded in 2008 by renowned statistician Dr. Kamani Wijesinghe, Statistical Excellence Academy emerged from a vision to bridge the gap between theoretical statistical knowledge and practical analytical applications in Sri Lanka's evolving data landscape.
What began as a small research initiative at the University of Colombo has transformed into Sri Lanka's premier statistical education institution. We recognized early on that traditional academic approaches often failed to prepare students for real-world data challenges faced by modern organizations.
Our academy was built on the principle that statistical education must be both rigorous and practical. We developed partnerships with leading Sri Lankan corporations, government agencies, and research institutions to ensure our curriculum reflects current industry needs and emerging analytical trends.
Today, we stand as the definitive source for statistical expertise development in South Asia, having trained over 500 professionals who now contribute to evidence-based decision making across healthcare, agriculture, finance, technology, and public policy sectors.
