WHY ADIT?

ADIT 5

As a young professional, it is challenging to understand how the fundamentals have evolved over the time and keep

updated with the changes happening around the world. ADIT gave me a

comprehensive knowledge of the principles of international tax, which

helped me build strong foundation to grow professionally and advise clients

internationally.

Flexibility is at the heart of ADIT, both in the way it’s structured and your study options.To ensure you have a robust foundation knowledge, but can tailor ADIT to your particular requirements or ambitions, flexibility is built in. All students are required to take the ‘Principles of International Taxation’ module to attain a thorough grounding in the key issues of the moment, before focusing on the tax regimes of particular countries, or themes in international tax. If you have a very specific interest in a particular area of tax or jurisdiction, you can choose to write an extended essay in place of one of the modules.

Study in a way and at a pace that suits youThere are study options to suit everyone, from classroom learning to self-study. Whatever your preference, you’ll find a method and providers that work for you. Find out more at www.adit.org.uk/courses

Works with your time commitmentsModules are examined twice a year around the world and are offered in both on-screen and handwritten formats. You can take all three modules at the same time, or one at a time – whatever suits you best.

You also have five years to complete ADIT. But if you find yourself at the end of that time with modules left to take, you simply need to re-register. To ensure that your knowledge is up-to-date, any modules passed more than five years previously will need to be retaken.

ADIT 7

My role requires an advanced understanding of international tax so ADIT was an ideal fit. I was able

to select modules which aligned my knowledge with my firm’s

requirements, enabling me to give the international advice our clients need.
