    Hi, I am a chartered accountant working in industry. My job(multinational) requires tax knowledge and i'll be taking on new roles in a group global tax reconcilaitions, local tax planning and returns. I will be mentored but want to take on tax exams to better my knowledge and compliemtn my work.
    I am wondering which course would be better CTC or CTA? I know its been asked before but those threads are old and am wondering what peoples opinions are now that CTC has been around a few years now.
    My questions are is CTC in dept enough and is CTA too in-dept for me?
    Any opinions welcome.

    Sorry can't comment on the two above courses but I did the Diploma in Taxation included below and found it good when I took over tax work in my company. A lecture who does both this and the CTC recommended doing the Diploma as it covers all the major Irish points and there was no exams.

    I did the class based course. A bit of work involved with the assignments all right. There was three of them and I probably spent the most of a weekend and a few evenings on each one.
