CA/CTA Joint Programme

ICAS and the CIOT have entered into a partnership to allow students to gain membership of the two bodies in as little as three and a half years.

The joint programme allows students to specialise in one of three areas of tax:

  • Owner-managed businesses
  • Major corporates
  • Indirect taxation

Important notice: Coronavirus

To help support our students in preparation for the 2020 examinations, all future courses will be run as Online Tuition Live (OTL) until it is safe to resume face-to-face courses. OTL courses will be run on the same dates as the scheduled face-to-face courses. This is in addition to our existing online courses.
