ACA CTA Joint Programme

Bridging course

Specifically for students on the ACA CTA joint programme. You should take our booster courses before you start your first CTA Advanced Technical paper, as the course aims to provide a smooth transition from ACA to CTA tax studies.

Overview

The courses are designed to cover topics that are assumed knowledge in the relevant CTA Advanced Technical paper that have not been covered in the ACA papers, completed as part of the ACA/CTA joint programme.

There are two courses available and you should choose based on which your first CTA Advanced Technical paper is going to be. That will either be Taxation of Owner-Managed Businesses (OMB) or Taxation of Larger Companies and Groups (LCG).

The course will build on the knowledge you gained whilst studying either ACA Tax Compliance (for learners who started their studies pre September 2025) or ACA/CTA Tax Knowledge and Skills (for learners who started their students from September 2025) and also introduce you to the core topics that are examined as part of your CTA Advanced Technical paper.
