The CIOT has launched two newly revised CTA joint programmes with the ICAEW and ICAS.
The CTA Joint Programmes allow candidates to accelerate their studies and become fully qualified Chartered Accountants and Chartered Tax Advisers (CTAs) in around four years, depending on how quickly you pace your studies (and once you have undertaken relevant professional work experience).
The programmes also benefit employers by reducing the time and overall cost for their employees to complete two prestigious qualifications. They fast track professional development and provide accountancy students with both broad tax knowledge and a tax specialism early on in their career.
The institute says the new updated programmes mark a significant evolution in professional training, which are “designed to align with the latest developments in accountancy education and to better support students pursuing these dual qualifications in accountancy and taxation.”
Registration for both programmes will open in the spring of 2026, and you can register your interest on CIOT’s website.
Students should note that they must register with CIOT at least four months before their first CTA exams.
