Build successful tax careers with the ATT’s Foundation Level Qualifications

The Foundation Qualifications are an ideal introduction to the relevant topics and an excellent way to develop the necessary knowledge and skills to progress within tax.

As business becomes more international, transfer pricing in particular is an area of growing importance. The Transfer Pricing Foundation Qualification is a convenient way to build expertise in this field, exploring key concepts and methods, and looking at specific transactions, common adjustments and issues and compliance.

Who are they for?

The Foundation Qualifications are ideal for anyone starting out in tax, or who may not be ready to take the full ATT Qualification. Potential students might be working in tax already and looking to broaden their knowledge, or they may be in complementary specialisms such as accountancy or even legal services.

Students can register for as many of the four Foundation Qualifications as they wish, and will gain a head start if they go on to study the main ATT qualification by acquiring a solid understanding of basic principles.

What are they like to study?

Tuition for the Foundation Qualifications is provided online in conjunction with Tolley Tax Tuition. Students study at their own pace via online classes which can be accessed at any time, supported by easy to follow study manuals. The manuals are designed to allow students to work at their own pace, and to progressively build understanding of the technical content. Support is available for students via the Tolley Online Academy.

Each qualification is split into four modules, with a question bank and online mock exam provided for each module. Students can sit the module exam online whenever they feel ready. Passing the first exam allows students to proceed to the next module. Once all four module exams have been successfully completed, a final exam brings the whole syllabus together. Passing the final exam results in an ATT Foundation Certificate being awarded. There aren’t fixed ‘sittings’, but a minimum of three months’ study is recommended before sitting the final exam. Multiple attempts are permitted at all exams.
