Every student here is given access to real cases, worked in the real software. Not worked examples. Not screenshots of a program you will never open. Actual client files, prepared in the packages that Canadian and US practices run on.
It is the difference between a graduate who has watched twenty hours of tax and one who can be given a file on their first morning.
Apply for a placeA real client engagement, reconstructed: slips, receipts, bank exports, an email chain, and at least one thing that is missing or contradicts something else. Nothing is labelled. No lesson is referenced. It arrives the way it arrives in practice.
Not a simplified teaching tool and not a spreadsheet — the same commercial tax preparation packages used in Canadian and US practice. You learn the software and the law at the same time, because in a job you will never learn them separately.
Which schedule, which election, which expense survives and which one gets disallowed. The judgement is the exercise. A course that tells you which module to open has quietly removed the only difficult part of the work.
Your completed return is reviewed by a practising accountant against a prepared answer key — not auto-graded. You get back the specific things you missed and why they matter, which is the part that actually changes how you work.
The final stage is a live interview with an AI client who answers only what you think to ask, forgets, hedges, and occasionally contradicts themselves. You run the intake and prepare on what you managed to gather. Most students discover here that their gap was never the tax law.
Access to the tax packages is provided as part of the course — you do not need to buy licences to complete your training.
On-Hand Training is not an add-on or an upgrade. It is built into the Canadian and US courses alike, at no extra cost.
