- Please note you must arrive at least 15 minutes ahead of your exam start time. Failure to arrive on time may result in you being denied access to the examination room and you will not be entitled to a refund. Our cancellation, postponement, and non-attendance policy is written in full at the bottom of this page. Please ensure you are not blocking any vehicles when you park, as you will not be permitted to leave the exam to move your vehicle.

- All mobile phones and smart devices (including watches) are prohibited in the exam. They must be turned off and in your bag. Should your device sound during the assessment you will be immediately removed from the exam room, and we will act in accordance with AAT regulations surrounding suspected malpractice.
- It is your responsibility to ensure that your AAT membership/registration is up to date. Failure to have a valid and live membership/registration will result in HWGTA being unable to register you for your assessment and may result in you being unable to sit your assessment on your chosen exam date.
- If you are eligible for extra time, it is your responsibility to notify HWGTA and provide us with supporting evidence no later than 7 days prior to your exam in order for this to be added.

When you are scheduled for your first assessment for Q2022, you will receive an email with a link to ATLAS Cloud. Your username will be your AAT ID number and you will be able to set up your password. Once you have set up an Atlas Cloud account, those will be your login details for all future assessments. HWGTA will never have access to your login details, therefore it is your responsibility to ensure that when attending an assessment session at our exam centres you have your login details memorised, and have checked that they are working ahead of your exam.
