Qualifying Examination Programme (QEP)

The Institute has cooperated with other local education institutions in providing various postgraduate programmes, preparing students for taking the Chartered Tax Adviser (CTA) Qualifying Examination and enriching their tax knowledge.

 

  • Professional Diploma in Tax Advisory (Full programme)

The Programme was first revamped in 2012 to become the Continuing Education Diploma in Tax Advisory. After several years of success, the Programme was further restructured and renamed as “Professional Diploma in Tax Advisory” to enrich students’ knowledge in taxation and to develop their career in the field of professional tax advisory. Successful completion of this 10-month program will entitle the students, who have the qualifying tax experience, to become members of the Institute. They will also get exemptions from the Hong Kong Tax Paper and International Tax Paper of the Institute’s CTA Examination.

The 2022 intake of the Programme will commence in October 2021.

More information for next application intake will be announced in due course.

The Programme has offered an option for people who only wish to take a specific module course instead of completing the full programme.  Applicaiton deadline for module courses is 1 March 2021 (Monday).
