Hi all,

I am renewing my Members in Practice and as a result of the AAT withdrawing the registered status, I now need professional cover.

I have a few clients and work from home on a part time basis, I am based in Blackburn Lancashire.

Would anyone be willing to act as my professional cover? - I would be willing to reciprocate if necessary.

My email address is e-king@hotmail.co.uk

    I didn't realise that the 'Registered' status was being withdrawn. Do you have to be 'Licensed' now then? If so, does your annual T/O still have to exceed £5,000?

    Emma, are you looking for cover within your immediate area? I am based in Northumberland and don't know how practical it would be for me to act as your cover.

    Hi Paul,

    All MIPs now need to be licensed. However if your turnover is less than 5k you are entitled to pay the reduced licence fee of £37.

    The AAT are phasing out the registered status and it should no longer exist by the end of 2007. I wasn't aware if this either until I received my renewal through the post - which has to be returned by the end of the month.

    Ideally - from a practical point of view it would be easier to have cover locally, however as I understand it the AAT have not put any geographical restraints on this!

    Thanks for posting Emma, I wasn't aware of this either.
    I suppose I will hear when my subs are due in March 07.

    Do you still have to have a T/O of £5,000+ to be eligible to use the AAT logo on your stationery etc?

    I don't think turnover comes into it...

    On the fact sheet that the AAT sent to me, it states that when the renewal application is approved, you will be issued with a licence to practice, be entitled to use the AAT's logo and specific wording on stationery.

    The only mention of turnover - is in recognising members with a low income and hence the reduced licence fee.

    The way I see it is that currently registered members will be getting more for their fees.
