CPD Requirements for AAT

Most accounting professionals globally require verifiable CPD Hours to maintain their license. Browse courses that meet your requirements, or choose one of our course packages, specially curated to contain all the hours and credits you need, in one place. The courses on LearnFormula may be counted towards professionally relevant, verifiable learning activities. It is the student's responsibility to validate whether an activity is an eligible educational activity for their professional development requirements based on their own learning needs.

Simplifying Regulations for 2026

AAT's CPD policy is not based on a set number of hours or credits. Instead, it's measured by the outcomes and benefits that members derive from doing CPD: it's about the quality, not the quantity. Members must undertake CPD to ensure that they remain competent for the work that they do and to meet their career aspirations, whether their work is of an accounting/financial nature or not. Those members holding a license in accordance with the Licensing Regulations must undertake appropriate CPD in order to maintain their license.
