We know it can be difficult to manage the cost of further study and professional membership fees.

That's why we offer a reduced subscription rate of £64 (reduced from £128) to all full and fellow members of the AAT who continue their studies in the finance or accounting field.

Full membership offers a professional status that reflects the skills you've worked hard to gain. Using the letters MAAT after your name shows you've proven your expertise - and made a commitment to maintaining it.

We'll help you keep your skills fresh, make the right decisions and save money with a wealth of exclusive benefits and services.

The reduced membership rate is available for the duration of your studies. It's open to all AAT full and fellow members.
