Launch of the Graduate Diploma of Applied Tax Law
To meet the changing needs of tax professionals, on 14 October 2014, The Tax Institute launched a new postgraduate qualification, the Graduate Diploma of Applied Tax Law.
It is the firm belief of the Institute and the profession that the knowledge and skills of tax professionals should be at least at a postgraduate level. The Graduate Diploma of Applied Tax Law is a high-quality offering which will meet this need while maintaining its practical and applied focus — hallmarks of all Tax Institute programs.
The Tax Institute’s approach for this program was two-fold. First, it ensured compliance with the Tax Practitioners Board’s content requirements for courses in Australian taxation law and commercial law, and second, it aligned with the Australian qualifications framework (AQF) for graduate diploma level programs.
To add further validation, the program was benchmarked against other providers of such programs.
For more information on the launch and why this program was developed go to taxinstitute.com.au/grad-dip.
Information sessions
Enrolments for this program are now open. We are holding a number of information sessions around the country to provide more detailed information, including the structure, exemptions provided, and how to enrol.
