As a tax professional, education is an essential tool for perfecting your craft. That’s why CSTC developed the CSTC Academy, offering webinars, self-study and in-person classes for tax professionals.

CSTC education satisfies the continuing education requirements for EAs, CRTPs, OTRPs, CPAs and attorneys, and is readily available to meet your professional educational needs.

In addition to our Summer Symposium Series, the CSTC Academy offers an expansive line-up of educational opportunities that span the entire year, including: 

• A 60-hour course for aspiring CTEC tax preparers
• The Fall Forum covering topics from both a tax and accounting perspective
• A 15-chapter statewide network offering monthly education on topics from introductory to advanced

CSTC’s reach extends far beyond education to encompass a community of like-minded tax professionals who support, encourage and assist each other 365 days a year.

We encourage you to make CSTC and the CSTC Academy an essential resource to furthering your success as a tax professional.
