You can also join AAT as a full member if you are fully qualified with IFA or have gained full IFA membership by qualification or professional recognition. As well as ordering your AAT full member application pack, you will need to take the following steps:

Step one - online registration

Use our online registration process to start your application. We will then forward your AAT number, application form and work experience and reference form within five working days.

Step two - work experience and professional reference

Complete your work experience and reference form and have it signed off by your employer (or a qualified accountant if you're self employed). Your completed form will:

• Confirm that you've proven your competence in the workplace where elements of the AAT syllabus aren't covered by your IFA qualifications
• Show you've gained one year's relevant work experience (or the equivalent part time)
• Provide details of the professional referee recommending you for full membership.

Step three - application and payment

Complete and return your application form, along with:

• Your completed 'work experience and reference' form
• Evidence of your IFA qualifications
• Evidence of IFA full membership and relevant qualification (if applicable)
• A payment of £176 to cover your one-off admission (£45) and subscription fees (£131).

Step four - professional competence test (PCT)

You'll choose a date to sit your online PCT when you return your application form. Your employer will need to enter an access code confirming your identity, and provide a quiet space and computer for you to use.
