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 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 for the 2025/2026 group are now open until 31 July 2025.
Aims and purpose
Build a strong, supportive student community to consult with on future plans,
creating a clear voice for students within AAT.
Provide a forum to support evidence-based decision making.
Discuss ideas and strategies to support students and help with progression.
Maintain and increase student engagement through discussion, debate, and
collaboration.

Be a part of a collaborative and confidential learning environment where you can engage in discussions, ask questions, and share knowledge with other like-minded students.
