Certificate Programs are a series of courses designed to be taken one at a time. In order to earn the CTP® designation, you must pass the courses with at least an 80% average grade on all graded assignments and meet the 300-hour experience requirement. Upon completing these requirements, you will be certified by The Income Tax School and can add the CTP® 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.

The Course

The Course is written very well. The subject material is explained in great detail! My personal concern is that I'm dislexic and it is taking me longer to read through than the projected time of the course.
On another note, the support department is absolutely phenomenal and very quick to respond. I know I'll get through it with their exceptional help and my commitment to complete the Course!
