The Academy began as the idea of a small group of experienced senior academics and dedicated business professionals who had launched their successful careers after either being international students or working extensively with them.

The NAPS team are innovative and take pride in developing courses that would take into account emerging global trends. They chose Accountancy and Islamic Business to create exciting opportunities for students because these courses were relevant globally and in increasing demand particularly in emerging markets and developing nations.
