The Student Advisory Group
Our Student Advisory Group includes students who want to help shape the future direction of our products and services.
From the study support we offer to how we communicate with you; the Student Advisory Group plays a vital role in how AAT develops.
We have over 80,000 students studying with different methods. The group helps us adapt to their wants and needs, helping them progress through their AAT qualifications with confidence.
Applications to join are currently open. Apply to join.
