Unearth your extra Intelligent Tax Potential

We offer three different Full courses:

• “In Class”
• “Virtual Classes”
• “Self-Paced Online”

We also run a short course for those seeking employment with ITP for the current year.

Our course is designed to teach you everything you need to know to professionally prepare different types of tax returns under a registered tax agent.

There is no difference in the tax content, however the main difference would be your reason for applying.

If you are looking for a change of career, a new skill set, looking at getting back into the workforce, the opportunity to work with ITP or just something new, then the class-based courses are the only way to go. Here are the benefits:

• No previous tax experience is required, you just need to be good with numbers and love working with people
• Each year ITP offers successful students from the class-based courses the opportunity to work with us. Self-paced students will not have this option
• Class-based students work one-on-one with their teacher and receive support and guidance all the way through the course.

The self-paced course is designed for those already working in the tax industry and wanting to ensure their knowledge is up to date. This course is not relevant to those wanting to work for ITP.

The standard price of the class-based courses in 2025-26 is $495. Self-paced online courses are also only $495. This price may be discounted at times.

Our Short Course starts from only $99.

We accept the following payment methods:

• Cash (In Office only)
• Credit Card / Debit Card

We are also the only tax training course to offer payment plans to students.

Yes, the full cost of the course is a tax deduction on next years tax return.

Whilst we would love for you to join our team, all employees must complete a class-based Tax Training Course to work with ITP.

All tax consultants for ITP must successfully complete a class-based Tax Training Course.

The In Class & Virtual course contains 13 weeks of Tax Modules, comparable to other courses in the market.

The course also includes exams and a Customer Service module which bring the full course to 20 weeks start to finish.

Self-paced students must finish the course no later than 30th June.

Our Short Course runs for approximately 9 weeks, and starts in April.

We have a Virtual Class option is run outside of standard business hours, on Tuesday & Thursday evenings, which covers the identical content and materials as our In Office locations. Choose the course location that suits, when you enrol for the In Class & Virtual course.

We offer a Virtual Classes course which is run outside of standard business hours, and covers the same content.

No, the content is exactly the same. However in class you will have more opportunities to bounce off the other students during discussions.

The course can be quite challenging. For students in the class-based courses, it is imperative that all of the training sessions are attended, homework completed and reading kept up to date. Students who follow the weekly study program find the course achievable.

We recommend all students allow at least 10-12 hours of self-study at home each week. Class-based courses also include two 2.5hr classes each week, either at an ITP office (In Class course), or online (Virtual Class course).

We highly suggest that you do not miss any classes unless absolutely unavoidable. If you do, it will be your responsibility to complete the online tutorials and submit the required homework and readings to keep pace with the rest of the class.

Yes, but only before the course commences. Once the course commences no transfers will be accepted.

Support for the self-paced course is very limited, but we will try to answer all questions via email.

Yes, the hours you commit to the training course will count towards this requirement.

Job interviews will be conducted for those seeking seasonal employment with ITP. We are always looking for people who have reasonable availability, that can work during the tax season (July to October).

The knowledge learnt in our course is also transferrable, and recognised by other tax agents and accountants throughout Australia.

Students who complete the Self-Paced Online course, will not be offered a job interview, or considered for season employment.
