Advanced Technical Course Overview

Why Choose TaxBooster?

At TaxBooster, we believe in offering a supportive, interactive, and results-driven learning environment. Whether you’re an autonomous learner or need a structured hand-holding approach, our courses are designed to meet your unique needs and ensure success in your tax exams.

We offer two advanced technical papers designed to elevate your understanding and application of complex tax principles in your journey in becoming a fully qualified Chartered Tax Advisor.

  • Taxation of Individuals (IND)
  • Taxation of Owner Managed Businesses (OMB)

Our Advanced Technical (AT) course combines structured guidance, interactive workshops, and comprehensive mock exams to ensure you master these subjects. Below is an in-depth explanation of our course features and options to help you tailor your learning experience.

Key Features of the Course

1. Weekly Structured Guidance and Weekend Workshops

Each week, you’ll receive a detailed timetable outlining tutorials, chapters to read, and preparation for weekend workshops. Weekend sessions consolidate your learning through interactive tasks and scenario-based exercises led by expert tutors. These workshops don’t just teach tax theory; they hone your exam-oriented problem-solving technique.

2. Mini Mock Exams

Mini Mock Exams are a fundamental part of our gradual preparation process for Full Mock Exams. Spanning 4–6 weeks, they allow you to build exam stamina and confidence incrementally:

  • Each mini mock contains three questions, focusing on topics covered in the previous workshop.
  • Submit your attempts and receive detailed feedback within 36 hours, so you don’t lose momentum in refining your skills.
  • Initially, we encourage you to take 3 hours to complete, then gradually reduce the time to improve both speed and precision under exam conditions.

Personalised Mentorship

At TaxBooster, you’ll get your very own mentor—an experienced tax tutor—to check in with you regularly and guide you through every stage of your learning.

Expertly Designed Course Structure

We don’t believe in cramming. Our program uses a phased approach to give you time to digest, apply, and perfect your knowledge. From tutorials to live workshops to mock exams, we’ve got you covered.

4. Weekly Revision Schedule

Approximately 4–5 weeks prior to your exams, you’ll follow a structured revision plan. This guide revisits previous topics, ensuring you retain and master important concepts while filling any knowledge gaps. Timely reminders and practical exercises ensure you’re tackling the right topics at the right time.
