Proper printed books — not just a screen
Most online providers give you a login and a PDF. We give you a proper box of professionally printed study books, delivered straight to your door — alongside full online access.
Our tutors write every word of our materials. That means they can improve them whenever a student finds something unclear — something impossible when you're buying generic books from a third party.
This is one reason why Training Link students consistently outperform the AAT worldwide average pass rate by up to 23%.
