Answer 1 :
You can't pass the AAT only by sitting exams: part of the assessment is experential and you have to accumulate a portfolio of evidence of activities (or simulations) you have participated in at work or elsewhere. (1) You have to join the AAT as a student member to be assessed. (2) You will need to take take a course at a college or by distance learning in order to complete your portfolio. (3) You will need to sit the exams at a nominated centre.
Answer 2 :
Contact AAT and find out if your local college or any other place near you sits the exams. I went to my local college in the evenings to do this and my work paid for it. If you work in an accounts environment ask them if they will pay for your training/exams as it will benefit them too in the long run.
Answer 3 :
get in touch with your local college or chamber of commerce and ask when the courses are, also u need to register with the AAT www.aat.org.uk They start in September where i live. You do need to do a portfolio at the same time so as to prove experience as well as competence. and also need to do extra questions other than the basic exam ones, which your tutor will give you before you sit the exam.
