DITT learning outcomes
The overall learning outcome for the Diploma in Tax Technology (DITT) is that the holder will develop sufficient knowledge to understand and participate in a tax-tech project team, including the ability to liaise with experts in tax and technology. The DITT is made up of nine compulsory modules and then, depending on the route you choose (Route 1 or Route 2), you select a further module of your choice. Each module is accompanied by a set of learning outcomes and the content is updated on an annual basis. We have created a detailed list of learning outcomes for each of the modules.
