“Aspire are absolutely brilliant, they’ve taken me through all of my AAT, and now into Cima, and I wouldn’t want to study with anyone else. They’re so supportive and knowledgeable, and always willing to go the extra mile to help out a student. I couldn’t recommend them more!”
Jessica Howden: AAT and current CIMA student
" Cannot recommend Aspire Accountancy School enough: both Rowanne and Sarah are excellent and patient teachers, able to explain the most complex of accounting information at the level and in the manner each student requires. They are down to earth, knowledgeable, and endlessly supportive of their students, as well as being professional, generous, and always available for consultation and support. You will love studying with them.
