The Chartered Institute of Taxation (CIOT) is an approved assessment organisation for the Level 7 Taxation Apprenticeship (click here to find out more). This Apprenticeship is an employer-designed standard in England, which offers a route to become a Chartered Tax Adviser (CTA).
All of the Professional Bodies included within the Level 7 Standard have been incorporated by Royal Charter and are Chartered Bodies. They have an obligation to maintain standards in the public interest and as such they are subject to significant oversight and independent scrutiny.
Students can also study for the ACA CTA Joint Programme as part of the Level 7 apprenticeship. Click here for more information.
It is anticipated that candidates will typically complete the Apprenticeship in 36 months but this may vary due to prior qualifications and relevant work experience.
