This SBL Fast Track Is Not for Everyone:
The SBL Fast Track is for committed ACCA candidates who are ready to put in the work to pass.
If you are looking for shortcuts, passive lectures, or model answers to copy, this is not right you.
SBL requires effort, honest feedback, and accountability. Every student has different gaps, so we work with you to identify what is holding you back and help you improve each week.
You will be expected to engage, practise, reflect, and apply feedback. You will also join a private WhatsApp community with other serious candidates, with direct access to us for questions and support.
This SBL Fast Track is for students who are ready to take responsibility for their preparation and improve to Strategic Business Leader standard.
The SBL Fast Track is for you if:
- You have sat SBL before and are unsure what went wrong.
- You want to practise full exams under timed conditions and receive feedback.
- You want a clear, structured plan for your preparation.
- You want direct access to SBL and mindset support.
- You know the syllabus but have not had expert feedback on your answers.
- You want honest insight into where you are losing marks.
- You want strong support to improve your chances of passing SBL.

Testimonials
“After seeing your webinar, I just thought I need him to help me out” Stacey Searle 80% SBL (Full-time Employee).
I know I am late with posting my ACCA results, but it took me 2 days to get used with the idea that I have passed my first professional exam in the first attempt. Only 49% of students who sat Strategic Business Leader exam this September passed; therefore, I am proud to be one of those 49%.
I was prepared to fail knowing that I have tried my best in preparing for this exam. But all the hard work has paid off on 17th at 5 am when I got the results.
I could not have passed SBL in the first attempt without Ashim Kumar FCCA help, who guided me throughout the study programme. He has tailored his support to my needs, always fitting around my busy schedule, constantly checking my progress and mock results in zoom meetings, and full WhatsApp support for any questions. I would highly recommend FME Learn Online for ACCA students, especially for those who have exemptions for all Applied Skills exams.
Just wanted to drop you a note of appreciation and let you know that you’re an amazing teacher. You’re organized, responsive, patient and able to clearly explain complex topics and nuances. I really enjoyed every single minute of your tutorials and I’ve learned a lot! Not only that, your timely emails and constructive feedbacks have been extremely helpful.
Your feedback on assignments were always very detailed, you explained the rationale behind your comments very well and I appreciate it very much.
I have scored 63% in SBL March 2020 exam which is the highest marks in Saudi Arabia for which I have received a certificate of Top Achiever as well. Ashim Kumar is the man for the JOB!!, Thank you so much sir.
An outstanding programme, well-structured and tailored to help students quickly identify and understand the areas most important to the examiner. Exceptional knowledge demonstrated by tutors on subject and content delivered in a clear and engaging manner. I would wholeheartedly recommend this program to anyone who is struggling and needs that extra push to pass the SBL exam.
I will describe the SBL Accelerator program as "TRANSFORMATIVE". From the really structured learning, dedicated tutors, mock exams to the teachings on exam technique and personal concern for students, my approach to SBL was completely transformed from approaching with a doubting mind to a facing it with confidence. 🙏🙏
The course gave me the structure, exam techniques, and confidence I needed to prepare for my SBL exam. The State-Explain-Apply approach, “So What?” technique, mindset guidance, mock exams, and constructive feedback helped me organise my knowledge and approach the exam with confidence. I went from feeling overwhelmed to feeling truly exam-ready and entered my exam with confidence with the help of SBL Mastery Accelerator. It really helped me develop a sound mentality towards the SBL exam.
“…I hadn’t sat an exam for seven years…”
Dat Nguyen 89% SBL (Full-time employee)
I had the privilege of having Adam help me for my ACCA exam, and I can confidently say that his support and approach were pivotal to my success.
Adam is exceptionally rigorous, structured, and organized, traits that made our study sessions incredibly effective. His ability to break down complex topics and structure sessions for maximum productivity was outstanding.
What stood out the most was his unwavering support. Whenever I felt overwhelmed or lost, Adam was always there, ready to lend a helping hand and motivate me to keep going. His empathetic approach, combined with his sharp understanding of the syllabus, created an environment where we could thrive together.
Adam’s fantastic organisational skills and his knack for creating engaging, productive study sessions made a challenging journey much smoother. I cannot thank him enough for his role in my ACCA journey. I wholeheartedly recommend Adam to anyone looking for a collaborative and dependable professional, whether in a learning or workplace setting.
I had the pleasure of working with Adam as my Accountability Coach while preparing for my ACCA exams, and I can confidently say that his guidance made a huge difference in my study journey.
Adam helped me improve my time management skills tremendously, something I had always struggled with before. Through his structured approach, I learned how to plan my study schedule effectively and make the most out of every session. He also guided me on how to organise my study materials in a clear, efficient way, which made revision far more manageable and less overwhelming.
One of the biggest areas of improvement for me was being able to answer full questions under exam conditions. Adam helped me build confidence and develop a solid answering technique, ensuring I was better prepared for the real exam environment. His consistent support, motivation, and practical advice kept me accountable and focused on my goals.
I’m extremely grateful for Adam’s professionalism, patience, and commitment to my progress. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for an Accountability Coach who genuinely cares about helping students perform at their best and achieve success.
This course is a game changer for me. developing the confidence through changing the mindset technique is really amazing technique from Ashim sir questioning so what really helped me in the exam to easily develop the point. Thanks Adam and Ashim Sir for this support.
The course was excellent, providing practical insight with how to approach the exam, guidance on structuring answers, and the mock was super helpful to prepare and ensure being exam ready. I also appreciated having a platform to share insights and perspectives with others. Thank you Adam & Ashim, grateful to you both 😊🫱🏼🫲🏼
