About the programme
Established in 2011, Chartered Tax Consultant (CTC™) is a professional tax qualification designed and developed for accountants.
We go further than other tax qualifications - we cover international tax and accounting for tax.
The full programme is just one year in duration: start in January and complete your exams in December.
We teach you to become a solution-focused, independent thinking tax professional. You will learn to read, understand, analyse, interpret and apply legislation to tax scenarios.
