When researching an AAT qualification, most learners start by looking at course costs. But once you begin exploring your options, you quickly realise there can be much more to budget for than the course alone.

Alongside your learning materials, there are also AAT registration fees, exam fees, and additional admin costs to think about. And because these costs often appear at different stages of your studies, it can sometimes feel difficult to understand the true cost of qualifying from the start.

For some learners, paying for everything separately works perfectly well. But for others, managing multiple payments, booking exams, and keeping track of extra costs can become an added source of stress during an already busy period of study.

That’s why Kaplan created the AAT Full Package - an all-inclusive way to study AAT that combines your course, AAT registration, and first-attempt exam fees into one simple purchase.

What do you actually need to complete an AAT qualification?

Studying AAT involves more than simply enrolling onto a course.

Depending on the level you choose, you’ll typically need:

• your course materials and tuition
• AAT registration
• Computer Based Exams (CBEs)
• administrative support and booking processes

You’ll also complete multiple subjects across your qualification, which means there are several stages to manage as you progress.

The AAT Full Package is designed to simplify that process by bringing everything together upfront.

What is the AAT Full Package?

The AAT Full Package is an all-inclusive option for fee-paying learners studying:

• AAT Level 2 Certificate in Accounting
• AAT Level 3 Diploma in Accounting
• AAT Level 4 Diploma for Professional Accounting Technicians (PAT)

It’s available for learners studying through:

• OnDemand
• Distance Learning
• or a combination of both

Instead of purchasing everything separately throughout your studies, the Full Package combines all required subjects for your chosen level into one clear package.

What’s included in the AAT Full Package?

The package includes:

• all subjects required for your chosen AAT level
• AAT registration fees
• all first-attempt Computer Based Exam fees
• administrative costs included upfront
• access to OnDemand, Distance Learning, or a mix of both study methods

Learners receive a 20% discount on course fees, institute registration, and exam fees when purchasing a full level through the package.

The result is a more straightforward way to budget for your qualification, with fewer unexpected costs later on.

Why choose an all-inclusive package?

One of the biggest challenges learners face during professional qualifications is managing everything alongside work, family, and everyday life.

The AAT Full Package is designed to reduce some of that pressure by helping learners organise everything upfront.

Simpler budgeting

Rather than paying for different elements separately throughout your studies, you’ll know exactly what’s included from the beginning.

That means:

• fewer surprise costs
• easier financial planning
• less admin to manage during your course

More focus on studying

When exams, registration, and course fees are already organised, it’s easier to focus on progressing through your qualification instead of managing ongoing paperwork and payments.

Flexible payment options

The Full Package can also be purchased using flexible payment options, helping learners spread the cost in a way that works for their budget.

Study in a way that suits you

Everyone learns differently, which is why the AAT Full Package includes flexible study options.

OnDemand

OnDemand learning allows you to study online at your own pace, whenever and wherever it suits you.

This option is ideal for learners who need maximum flexibility around work, family, or other commitments.

Distance Learning

Distance Learning combines flexible home study with structured learning materials and tutor support.

Mix and match study methods

Some learners prefer different study styles for different subjects. With the Full Package, you can combine OnDemand and Distance Learning across your qualification to create an approach that works best for you.

Flexible exam options

The flexibility continues when it comes to assessments.

You can choose to sit your Computer Based Exams:

• at a Kaplan centre
• or remotely through Kaplan Remote Invigilation

This gives you more control over how and where you complete your qualification.

Is the AAT Full Package right for you?

The Full Package could be a good fit if you:

• want a clearer understanding of your overall qualification costs
• prefer everything organised upfront
• want fewer admin tasks during your studies
• need flexible study options
• are planning to complete a full AAT level
• want the option to spread the cost through payment plans

It’s designed specifically for fee-paying learners and is not available for apprenticeships.
