For Certified Practicing Accountants, our course is accepted by the Tax Practitioners Board to count towards their required 30 hours professional development.
Students who successfully complete this course are awarded an H&R Block certificate of achievement however this certificate alone does not qualify recipients to be Registered Tax Agents nor does it enable them to charge a fee for preparing tax returns as an individual.
