Hey MSA, As a person who has gone through MRT which was previous to AAT I can advise you the wait is crucial and the result can be harsh aswell. please do ensure that you do have a fighting chance. If there is problems with your training benchmarks, if your employer failed to do his job or it is not a resonable reason, then it is very likely that your case will fail. This is from my experience and opinion. trying using the time you have to find another employer and try again because currently 186 is 6 to 12 months whereas AAT is like 2 years wait. you dont want to wait that long only to be rejected.
