Are you 100% sure your not getting mixed up with the student membership fee (once a year thing)? that is 74.00
Go to the home screen and click on about aat, detailed membership guide, check out page 13. Hope this helps.
Then click open, go to page 13, then print page 13 and go tell the person who told you the fees that your paying 35.00 as thats what aat say
The exams are about £46 per exam for the paper based.
If you are an external student, colleges can charge an admin fee if you are sitting computer based exams so keep that in mind.
I'm pretty sure DFS at least is transferrable, and tne optional unit will depend a bit on what unit you have done.
You do not have to re-sit them.
Hope you don't have to sit on hold with AAT for too long!
so im sending over my enrolment form now and just hoping for the best...wow so much hassle ive spoke to 5 diff people today and not one has agreed with the other!! its now 60 pounds to take the exam not 74...
As I understand it, at Level 4 you cannot take computer based exams under the NVQ route. You can only take paper based exams and the last sitting is June this year.
when i phoned today they said they are paper based only... but college said they have confirmation from the aat that they can do them computer based...
i honestly dont know the true answer but surely if my college are taking money off me they must be certain i can do they cbe and its kaplan they arnt a small college!! who knows!! the revision wont do me any harm whether i take the exams next week or not!!
im just so mad not to be getting straight answers just wish at least one person would agree with the other
does anyone know that if you transfer to the new qualification are the exams similar critera to what was in the NVQ exams or are they completly different....just ill lose funding so i want to do it externally and just turn up for the exam...college have lost too many of my exam papers and given me wrong information too many times now i just want to do it myself if its at all possible...not paying thousands out to a place that seems so useless
Staceylou,
Just wanted to say that there are cheaper colleges offering distance learning that you can go with and you do not need to pay out thosands of pounds. For example Eastleigh College used to do the whole Level 4 for just over £800. Permier Training is even cheaper and these are AAT approved providers. You may very well need a training provider for the Unit 10 project or if you have any other skills test to do. Best of luck.
