AAC Network

What is the centre network?
There are 13 regional networks that hold meetings in the UK, plus a national network meeting held once a year before the AAT Conference. The aim of the meetings is improve the way we all work together; to develop and promote skilled, regulated and respected professional accounting technicians.

What happens at the meetings?
The meetings are usually hosted and chaired by a local centre, and are attended by tutors from other centres in the area and someone from AAT. You set the agenda and we also use the meetings to discuss any AAT new developments, exam feedback, and ask for your feedback on a variety of issues.

What's in it for me?
It's your opportunity to talk directly to us and give us your thoughts on AAT and our qualifications. It's good to talk to people from other centres about how they do things, and we can solve any problems you have together. Attending network meetings also counts towards your CPD!

What happens after the meeting?
At the meeting we take the minutes and circulate these to all centres in the area, not just those that attended, to make sure everyone is kept up to date with what’s happening. Any queries raised are clarified in the minutes. The feedback you give us helps us to improve our services to you.

Where is my local meeting?
Listed below are the current network meetings we have planned. You can attend any of these meetings, not just the one in your region. Please contact Clare Cooper if you wish to attend to make sure you receive all the relevant details.
