  6. The AA Registration Assessment (AARA)

During the transition period (until December 2026), you won’t need to sit the AARA if:

  • you started and/or completed your AA qualification before September 2023, and,
  • you can provide satisfactory evidence of recent practice as an AA in the UK.

You should read our transition policy on demonstrating knowledge and skills to determine whether your evidence of recent UK practice will meet our criteria.

If you are unable to meet our criteria for evidencing your knowledge and skills are up to date, then we recommend you sit both parts of the AARA.
