Meet The Astranti Team
Our team at Astranti is based in the UK, split across our Trowbridge, Cardiff and Ivybridge offices.
The team consists of our senior managers, content creators, tutors, marketers, publishers and our course mentors & customer service representatives.
On top of these core teams, we also have a wide network of markers, tutors and writers who are based all across the world.
As we have expanded our range of materials, we have also expanded the team. Find out more about our team members on this page.
The Astranti story so far…
Our journey began back in 2002, from a tiny office in a sleepy Somerset town.
In the early days, Nick and his small-but-mighty team provided tuition for the final CIMA accountancy exams. Since then, our range of study support, and the team which provides it, has expanded considerably.
To date, over 100,000 people have now been on one of our courses or used some of our materials to help them get qualified.
Today our core Astranti team provides materials for all areas of the CIMA qualification, a range of CMI courses as well as a CPD course suite designed to help you develop your knowledge and skills as you progress in your career.
We’ve also introduced Astranti Connect to the Astranti group, to provide high-quality tuition for the world of counselling. Our classroom-based and live online courses help to give our students all the skills and experiences they need in order to offer the best counselling service to their clients.
Our mission is to continue to make high-quality tuition accessible to everyone, and we hope you will join us on our journey!
