AAT Exam Fees: Everything You Need to Know
Current AAT registration and assessment fees for Level 2, Level 3 and Level 4, including the fee changes from 1 September 2026.
AAT costs are made up of three separate parts: Learnsignal or another provider's tuition fee, AAT's one-off qualification registration fee, and assessment fees paid for each assessment. AAT students no longer pay an annual student membership fee for a qualification.
What are the official AAT fees until 31 August 2026?
| Qualification | One-off UK registration | Assessments | Official AAT total |
|---|---|---|---|
| Level 2 Certificate in Accounting | £186 | Three at £65 plus one £70 synoptic | £451 |
| Level 3 Diploma in Accounting | £243 | Four at £65 | £503 |
| Current Level 4 Diploma in Professional Accounting | £257 | Five at £68 | £597 |
The current Q2022 Level 4 closes to new registrations on 31 August 2026.
What are the official AAT fees from 1 September 2026?
| Qualification | One-off UK registration | Assessments | Official AAT total |
|---|---|---|---|
| Level 2 Certificate in Accounting | £187 | Three at £67 plus one £72 synoptic | £460 |
| Level 3 Diploma in Accounting | £244 | Four at £67 | £512 |
| New Level 4 Diploma for Professional Accounting Technicians | £258 | Five at £69 | £603 |
What is not included in those figures?
Tuition-provider fees are separate. Assessment venues may also have their own administration or invigilation charges, so confirm the full price before booking. International registration fees can vary by country.
Where should I check the latest fees?
Use AAT's official qualification fees page as the source of truth. Fees can change, and the September 2026 Level 4 change means older articles and screenshots may no longer be accurate.
Frequently asked questions
Is the AAT registration fee annual?
No. AAT charges a one-off registration fee for each qualification. Professional membership fees such as AATQB or MAAT are separate and apply only if you choose and qualify to become a member.
How many assessments do I pay for?
Level 2 has three individual unit assessments and one synoptic assessment. Level 3 has four individual assessments. The current Q2022 Level 4 has five individual assessments: three mandatory units and two chosen options.
Does Learnsignal tuition include AAT fees?
Check the current Learnsignal pricing and checkout information for exactly what is included. AAT registration and assessment charges should be treated separately unless a plan explicitly says otherwise.
Official AAT figures checked on 23 July 2026.
