About this trainer

Nick has been helping people pass their accountancy exams for over two decades, and is the founder of the Astranti Group. With a focus on empowering people with the knowledge of everything that's needed to pass the exams, Nick has been able to grow Astranti to the organisation it is today - with over 140,000 students having used Astranti study materials and courses over a twenty-plus year period. Although Nick does less hands-on teaching these days, he's still heavily involved in developing and delivering high-quality courses and an excellent experience for all Astranti students! You can find Nick on LinkedIn, or on the Astranti YouTube channel, where you'll learn a thing or two about his teaching style (as well as the odd story about his own learning journies).
