Are you looking to complete your AAT qualification but can’t make it to a test centre? Thanks to AAT Remote Invigilation, students now have the flexibility to take their exams online from the comfort of their homes. In this blog, we’ll answer all your questions about AAT remote exams, especially those beginning with “What is” to give you clear, SEO-optimised, and user-friendly insights.

Whether you’re already studying with future connect training or planning to enrol soon, this guide will help you understand how remote assessments work and how to prepare for success.

 What is AAT Remote Invigilation?

AAT Remote Invigilation is an online exam option that allows AAT students to sit selected assessments from home or any secure, quiet location using a laptop or desktop. This system was introduced to ensure continuity in learning and assessment, especially during situations like the COVID-19 pandemic.

Instead of visiting a physical test centre, the exam is monitored (invigilated) online via webcam and screen sharing by an authorised invigilator, ensuring exam integrity while offering flexibility.

 What is Required for AAT Remote Invigilation?

To take your AAT exam remotely, you’ll need the following:

• A reliable laptop or desktop computer (Macs are also supported).

• Stable internet connection (wired is preferred).

• A quiet, private room with no interruptions.

• A working webcam, microphone, and speakers or headset.

• Government-issued photo ID.

• A downloaded Safe Exam Browser (SEB) or similar secure system as instructed.

Most importantly, you'll need to ensure your device passes a system check prior to the exam.

The main difference lies in the level of convenience and flexibility remote exams offer. You still take the same accredited AAT assessment, but from your own space.

 What is the Format of AAT Remote Invigilation Assessments?

Remote invigilation is currently available for selected AAT units. These are on-screen computer-based assessments that closely replicate the experience of taking an exam in a test centre. Some assessments allow scenario-based tasks, multiple choice, and written answers.

Available AAT levels for remote exams include:

• AAT Level 2 – some assessments

• AAT Level 3 – selected modules

• AAT Level 4 – selected modules

Always check with your tutor or Future Connect Training and Recruitment for availability.

 What is the Benefit of Choosing Remote Invigilation?

There are several benefits:

• Study Flexibility – Learn and test at your own pace.

• Geographical Freedom – No need to travel.

• Time-Saving – Eliminate commute times.

• Safe & Secure – Especially during uncertain times.

Remote invigilation is ideal for working professionals, parents, or international students pursuing the AAT qualification.

 What is Done to Ensure Security During AAT Remote Invigilation?

AAT and their partners use:

• Screen recording and lockdown browsers.

• Webcam monitoring throughout the session.

• Identity verification before the test begins.

• Strict protocols to flag and prevent misconduct.

Your exam is just as secure and legitimate as a test centre experience.
