Frequently Asked Questions

Not sure about our tax courses?
What are the different courses you offer?
+

We offer three different courses:

  • “In Class”
  • “Virtual Classes”
  • “Self-Paced Online”
What will the course teach me?
+

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.

What is the difference between the class-based and self-paced courses?
+

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.

How much do your courses cost?
+

The cost of the class-based courses in 2024 will be $379. Self-paced online courses are also only $379.

How can I pay for the course?
+

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.

Can I claim the course as a deduction on next year’s tax return?
+

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

I am already a registered tax agent. Do I need to complete a course to work with ITP Qld?
+

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

I am already a CPA. Do I need to complete the course to work for ITP?
+

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

How long does the course go for?
+

Class-based students of our Tax Training Course are required to attend classes twice each week over the 18-week course (no classes are run over Easter).

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

Short Course students are required to attend one class per week over 9 weeks.

What are the terms & conditions?
+

Visit our terms & conditions page for full information.

What if I can’t get time off during the day to attend the In Class course sessions?
+

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

What if I can’t get time off during the day to attend the In Class course sessions?
+

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

Is there a difference between the In Class and Virtual Class courses?
+

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

How difficult is the course?
+

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.

How much time should I set aside for study each week?
+

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).

What happens if I miss one class?
+

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.

Can I transfer between courses?
+

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

What teacher support do I get in the self-paced course?
+

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

Is this course accepted by the Tax Practitioners Board towards my required 30 hours professional development as a CPA?
+

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

What job opportunities are available, if I do either of the class-based courses?
+

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.

What job opportunities are available if I do the Self-Paced Online course?
+

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

Is ITP a recognised training organisation?
+

No, ITP is not a recognised training organisation.

Do I need a computer to complete the course?
+

Yes, as most of the materials are online you will need access to a computer, preferably a laptop. It is also important to note that our training software is compatible with Windows only, and Apple devices (ie. Macbooks, iPads) are not supported.

If I am enrolled in the In Class Course, do I need to bring a laptop to class sessions?
