Certificate Programs are a series of courses designed to be taken one at a time. In order to earn the CTC® designation, you must pass the courses with at least an 80% average grade on all graded assignments and meet the 200-hour experience requirement. Upon completing these requirements, you will be certified by The Income Tax School and can add the CTC® designation to your professional title.
Depending on when you purchase, you could start your first course and by the time you’re ready to start the next one a new edition could be available. For this reason, we give you access (and ship your books) to each course one at a time, to ensure you get the most up-to-date version available.
Upon purchase, you will receive login credentials and may start the Small Business I course right away. These courses are not webinars, so you can work at your own pace and access the course content at any time. You have 3 months for each course, though many students finish earlier. A course extension may be purchased from our online store, if needed.
