“The amount of content provided by Astranti is quite easily the best in the market for the course. The masterclasses allow you to communicate with other students in a virtual classroom environment, which aids learning. However, the most important element of these courses is the mock exams and feedback from markers is invaluable in helping ensure that come the exam day you are able to pass, which I managed to do with flying colours!!”
“I passed MCS May 22. Great experience working with Astranti. I had failed MCS seven times (twice for 2015 syllabus and five times for 2019 syllabus by myself with no support). Astranti materials are good value for money, a fair balance of cost and quality. Nick Best’s deep dive videos on pre-seen, top 10 issues, strategic analysis and mock exams were fundamental tools for my strategy. I strongly recommend.”
*Astranti’s premium course offers three live online class days compared to the official publisher’s five. However, Astranti’s recorded video tuition covers all of this extra content, in a format that can be used at your own leisure.

What our students say
Please see our testimonials page for our latest student reviews. Here are a couple of examples:
“I started with the operational level while pregnant with my son and a 2-year-old daughter and a full-time job.
With the help of Astranti’s great material, I managed to pass the OT exams as well as OCS first time. That gave me some confidence to attempt MCS with a baby, toddler and full-time job. Again with the easy-to-understand and to-the-point materials, I managed to pass all my OT and MCS exams first time. I would definitely not have been able to do this without Astranti.
Their materials are at a higher standard than the actual exams (in my opinion) so if you pass their mocks and exam practice kits, you should be fine for the exams. The study material is to the point and easy to understand with great interesting real-life examples helping people with busy lives to get a grip on the content in good time.
When I started, I realized most people that do this have a whole family and work life apart from their studies and having a tuition provider like Astranti really lightens the load.“
“I have used Astranti for OCS Pre-Seen (their notes are a great guide and the analysis helps you familiarize with pre-seen in depth) and then went on to buy full package for both MCS and SCS and managed to get first time passes on both exams.
Their material is great and the marked Mocks especially help you get ready for exam writing (for which theory knowledge is not enough).
Would highly recommend it to everyone!”
