The Federation of Tax Advisers (FTA)

A great introduction! Take this qualification if you are a practitioner wishing to acquire a broad basic tax knowledge or if you are a student considering a tax career.

The Association of Taxation Technicians (ATT examinations)

Just embarking on a tax career? Want to learn more about one particular area of tax?  Consider taking one or more of the ATT's six stand-alone tax papers. You will be awarded a Certificate of Competency for each paper that you pass. If you gain two years' relevant work experience, pass three papers (two core and one optional), and also pass e-assessments in Law and Professional Responsibilities + Ethics you can use the designatory letters ATT and describe yourself as a Taxation Technician.


The Chartered Institute of Taxation (CIOT)

Studied tax before? Working as a tax professional? Already qualified with a professional organisation? Why not now sit the gold standard in tax qualifications? There are several routes to qualification as a Chartered Tax Adviser (CTA) depending on your area of specialism and, if you have already passed exams with other bodies, you may well be exempt from certain CTA exams.

The exams are modular and can be sat either individually or in any combinations which means that you can study for this prestigious qualification as flexibly as you wish.
