A satisfactory interview Note: Any student who has been involved in bankruptcy proceedings, IVA or other arrangements with creditors should contact AAT before enrolling on the course.  Such arrangements will not normally prevent you from studying AAT, however it may not be possible for you to sit assessments until the arrangements have expired. 4. Equipment required Additional costs vary depending on your age at the start of the course or financial position.  The course fee includes all tuition and the cost of your first attempt at each assessment. However, due to the complexity of this area please speak to Student Services for further detailed guidance. All students will need to buy textbooks costing approximately £250 and your tutor will tell you what textbooks to buy at the start of the course. Before you can sit any assessments all students need to register with AAT, at a cost of approximately £130.  We recommend that you register as early as possible as this will give you access to the many study resources provided by AAT. Should you need to re-sit any assessments, you will need to pay a re-sit fee of approximately £40 per assessment. You will need to bring paper, pens and pencils and a calculator to each class. You will also need a large folder, such as a lever-arch file, to keep your handouts and notes in good order. 5. Assessment method During weekly classes your tutor will introduce you to the skills and knowledge needed for each unit, using a variety of resources including lectures, handouts and e-learning via the college virtual learning environment.  Time in class will always include the completion of practice questions to consolidate knowledge, and this will be reinforced by home study. Homework will be set most weeks, and you will also need to allow time for reading and working through questions in your textbooks.  Regular attendance in class is essential to maximise your chance of success.
