Fellow membership (FMAAT)
Redefine your senior status
Showcase your senior experience, expertise and professionalism
Demonstrate your expertise with AAT’s highest level of membership: fellow membership (FMAAT). It recognises your long-term commitment, high ethical standards, and seniority in the profession.
Why become an FMAAT?
Recognition and prestige: FMAAT is reserved for those who’ve been AAT full members (MAATs) for at least five years. You’ve earned this senior designation through your commitment and professional excellence – so why not make it official?
Join a supportive community: connect with other senior AAT members at events and networking sessions across the UK and get help to grow your career.
Exclusive learning and development: access senior-level resources through the AAT Knowledge Hub, including training on management and technical skills.
Extra benefits and discounts: save on AAT’s training programmes and everyday things like cinema tickets, holidays, and insurance with AAT Rewards.
Boost your earning potential: progressing to FMAAT can lead to a significant salary boost. On average, MAATs who achieve FMAAT see a 26% salary increase, showing the impact of showcasing your senior status. (Based on median salary figures from the AAT Salary Survey 2023).
Eligibility
You can apply for FMAAT status if you're a current full member (MAAT) and have been a MAAT for five continuous years or more in the period immediately prior to applying.
If you're currently a lapsed MAAT, you'll need to reinstate your full membership and then build up your five years of continuous membership to be eligible. Please note continuous years of membership accrued prior to lapsing are not taken into account.
