The Diploma for Accountants and Tax Practitioners (Trusts and Estates) is for qualified accountants and tax practitioners who are keen to supplement their existing knowledge and qualifications with a specialist private client qualification.

The programme is intensive in nature and will be completed within four months. It will require a minimum of 12 hours personal study a week.

While there is no prescribed prior qualification that applicants should hold, for the purposes of the final examination, applicants will be expected to have knowledge and understanding of trust and estate taxation and trust and estate accounting at STEP Diploma level. These areas will not be covered in depth at the workshop although the course materials on these topics will be provided for revision purposes. If you are in any doubt as to whether the programme is suitable for you, you should contact Victoria Wilkes on vwilkes@centlaw.com or John Mullett on jmullett@centlaw.com for an informal discussion.
