MAT ABACUS Business School

Uganda’s #1 provider of Executive and Professional education. MAT ABACUS Business School was formed as the result of a merger in July 2019, between the Management and Accountancy Training Company “MAT” (Established in 1998) and Abacus Business School “ABS” (Established in 2014). This created synergies for the two institutions to tap into each other’s strengths. MAT ABACUS is one of only five Approved Learning Partners “ALP’s” at the Platinum level in Africa, the highest level of accreditation by the Association of Chartered Certified Accountants (ACCA), UK for training institutions. MAT ABACUS has a custom equipped training center with modern teaching and computer-based exam facilities, utilizing over 10,000 square feet of classroom space. We also provide quality education and training for industry and business practitioners across all sectors and levels of management. Through the interactions with top leadership of the different companies in the various sectors, MABS™ identified a glaring gap in the current education system. To an extent the curriculum delivered by most institutions does not resonate with the existing and emerging industry needs. In a dynamic environment, there is also a need for even those who are already in employment to re-skill and up-skill to be able to remain relevant in this Volatile Uncertain Complex and Ambiguous (VUCA) environment. Our Business Advisory and Consulting Directorate formed after the merger is an indication of the maturity of our business school. In providing support to clients, we use consultants that have had both industry level experience at Executive Management and Board Level and we also draw on our strengths as a provider of Academic, Professional and Professional and Executive training to provide cutting edge insights to solve contemporary business problems.
