Has anybody sat an AA automobile association practical test on assessment day and what did it entail?

There's no standardized "AA automobile association practical test" on an assessment day in the way that there's a driving test with the Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency (DVSA) in the UK, or equivalent organizations in other countries. The AA doesn't conduct its own driving tests for licensing purposes.

If you're referring to an assessment day for a *job* with the AA (e.g., as a patrol officer, mechanic, or driving instructor), then the practical test would depend entirely on the specific role. It could include:

* For Patrol Officers: This might involve demonstrating safe vehicle handling, use of equipment (e.g., jump leads, changing a tire), customer service skills in a simulated roadside scenario, and knowledge of the AA's operational procedures.

* For Mechanics: Expect practical tasks demonstrating competency with vehicle repair and maintenance, diagnostic skills, and use of specialist tools.

* For Driving Instructors: The assessment would likely involve a lesson observation, demonstrating teaching techniques and adhering to ADI standards.

In short, without knowing the specific job and the AA's recruitment process for that role, it's impossible to detail the content of a practical assessment. The best source of information would be the job description itself or contact the AA's recruitment team directly.
