Live Online Tutor Support Sessions

For distance learners, we offer scheduled live online tutor sessions. These provide the opportunity to ask questions, revisit key topics, and focus on areas commonly found challenging.

These sessions are designed to complement your independent study, ensuring you have direct interaction with your tutor and structured support alongside your learning.

Exam Preparation & Confidence

We do not simply deliver the syllabus — we prepare you thoroughly for assessment.

For each unit, learners have access to multiple practice assessments. Each practice assessment is individually marked with detailed feedback and guidance for improvement.

We work with you to identify weaker areas and only recommend booking your exam when you are fully prepared.

Still not sure? let's talk

  • We provide a unique learning experience unlike traditional education providers. You will receive one-on-one tutoring and mentoring at your own pace.

    Grantham Training Centre: If you are local and can attend, this is the best option. You will benefit from tutor and peer support in a relaxed environment. The training centre is not a typical classroom; it has a comfortable atmosphere with a radio and refreshments. Your tutor will let you know when the sessions are on and how to book into a session

    Blended Learning: If you cannot attend the Grantham centre, don't worry. Your tutor can support you via 1:1 Zoom sessions, phone calls, emails, texts, or WhatsApp—whatever suits you best. This will be discussed on your pre course assessment.

  • As long as it takes you. The official guidance is that it will take between 6-12 months - however if you get through quicker than that - fine, if you take a little longer - that’s fine too! Here at 3CATS, we work with you until you are comfortable in your understanding before moving on.

  • There are tutor marked assignments throughout the course to support each of the study units. Once you have completed the assignments and practice assessments for the unit and your tutor is in agreement you can take your unit final assessment - which is a 90 minute exam. There are 4 exams for this course.

    Exams are held in the Grantham office for free for 3CATS learners. A suitable time and date will be organised between you and your tutor.

    If you are unable to attend the Grantham centre, you will need to make arrangements for an exam centre closer to you - including paying their fees.

    • 3CATS pay all registration fees to AAT and exams sat in the Grantham centre are free. If you are unable to attend the Grantham centre, you will need to make arrangements for an exam centre closer to you - including paying their fees.

      You may need some study text books to support your learning throughout the course(s) however if you study in the Grantham centre there is a healthily stocked bookcase with study text books for you to use and borrow

  • The price you will pay for this course with 3CATS is £936

    This price does not include study text books or external exam centre.

  • There is currently no funding available to 3CATS for this course.
