The AAT CPD cycle
AAT's CPD policy applies to all members. There are no prescribed hours. You confirm your CPD when you renew your membership or licence, and keep records for five years.
| Stage | What you do | What to keep |
|---|---|---|
| Reflect | Review your role and where your skills need to grow | Your learning needs |
| Plan | Decide how you will meet those needs | Your plan |
| Act | Complete the learning, formal or informal | Activities and evidence |
| Evaluate | Consider what changed in your work | Notes on outcome |
- Licensed members in practice have additional obligations, including anti-money laundering supervision. Check AAT's current guidance.
- Keep CPD records for five years.
- Tag ethics and compliance learning so it stays visible.
Source: AAT CPD policy, last checked November 2026. Summary only - your regulator's own guidance always takes priority, and meeting it remains your responsibility.

Your employer does not automatically see personal reflections. You decide what to share.
Five years, one place
AAT asks members to keep CPD records for five years. Attach certificates and export a PDF or CSV whenever you need one.
No lock-in

WorkplaceHero helps you organise your CPD. Always check AAT's current CPD policy. WorkplaceHero is an independent record-keeping tool. We do not accredit learning, certify compliance or guarantee that a regulator will accept your record - meeting your regulator's requirements remains your responsibility. We research regulator and professional body guidance from official sources, record the source and the date we last checked it, and review entries when rules change. Requirements can change without notice, so always confirm the current rules, exemptions and deadlines with your regulator or professional body before relying on them. If you spot something out of date, tell us and we will check and correct it. Report an update
