Step straight out of college and into a career in tax

When I compare my journey to friends that have gone to uni and then maybe joined an accountancy firm or working in tax, I would definitely say I’m a few steps ahead in terms of just professional experience as well as the financial side.

What does the ATT Apprenticeship involve?

The ATT Apprenticeship is a Level 4 qualification that involves working alongside experienced colleagues to build real-world tax skills on the job, and studying for the ATT Qualification, which includes:

  • 2 core tax exams (Personal & Business Taxation)
  • 3 computer-based exams (Law, Professional Responsibilities & Ethics, Principles of Accounting)
  • 1 additional tax exam (from Business Compliance, Corporate Taxation, Inheritance Tax, Trusts & Estates, Value Added Tax)
  • 2 years of relevant practical work experience
  • An End Point Assessment (EPA) to prove competence

Most apprentices complete the ATT Apprenticeship in two to three years.

ATT Apprenticeship End-Point Assessment

The ATT works in partnership with 1st AWARDS to deliver the End-Point Assessment (EPA) for the Level 4 Professional Tax Technician Apprenticeship.

The EPA is the final stage of the Apprenticeship and assesses whether apprentices have developed the knowledge, skills, and behaviours required to successfully complete the programme.

1st AWARDS is an experienced End-Point Assessment organisation that has transformed the EPA process with their communication, feedback, and by reducing assessment turnaround time – whilst always keeping the apprentice at the heart of the EPA process.

For more information about 1st AWARDS and the EPA process, please contact your tuition provider. You can also visit the 1st AWARDS website.
