AAT has granted membership renewals to students who are close to completing their AAT qualification, and may therefore not have budgeted for an additional year of student membership.
A 3-month extension has been granted to:
- Students studying short qualifications.
- Students studying the AQ qualification who have either one or two assessments remaining and are due to renew between 1 April and 1 June 2020.
- Students who have purchased a separate End Point Assessment (EPA) that is due to expire by 30 September 2020 have been given an extension to 31 December 2020.
AAT is in the process of contacting all affected students in these groups.
AAT CEO, Mark Farrar said: “Managing the renewals of our members in a fair and considered way during this challenging time is essential. For now, all other students, affiliates, professional and licensed members who are due to renew are being asked to do so as usual. This will protect our organisation’s future and ensure we can continue to support them after this crisis subsides.”
That said Farrar emphasised AAT is monitoring the situation, and if it feels it appropriate to offer additional extensions it will.
