  • For students enroled in the Instructor Led Course, attending the weekly workshops is a required part of the program, along with staying up to date on assigned readings and study materials. Students who follow the recommended weekly schedule should find the course both engaging and manageable.

  • Whether you’re looking to build a new skill, change careers, earn extra income, or re-enter the workforce, the Instructor Led Course options are an excellent choice. No prior experience in tax or accounting is needed; just a comfort with numbers and a commitment to learning. High achievers may even be eligible to apply for employment with H&R Block and could have their course fees fully refunded. Learn more about our Graduate Offer!

Top graduates from any Instructor Led Course will have the opportunity to interview for employment with H&R Block. We’re looking for candidates with strong availability during the tax season (July through October), as well as excellent numerical, communication, and interpersonal skills. Graduates enroled in the Self-paced option, however, will not have the opportunity to apply for employment with H&R Block.

Students who successfully complete any Instructor Led Course option, meet the employment criteria, and work for H&R Block during the 2025 tax season are eligible to have their course fees refunded.

At H&R Block, we are committed to investing in your career as a tax consultant. When you choose to return, we’ll provide exclusive ongoing professional development training each year at no cost to you.

The Self-paced option is designed for individuals already working in the industry who want to keep their knowledge current, as well as those looking to learn how to manage their own tax affairs. By choosing the Self-paced option, students are not eligible to apply for a position with H&R Block. If you’re uncertain about your goals when registering, we recommend the Instructor Led Course as the preferred option.

There is no difference in the content covered across the course options. The best option for you depends on your reasons for registering and your preferred learning method. Our team is always here to help if you have any further questions.

Yes, we do employ registered tax agents. However, you would still be required to successfully complete the H&R Block Income Tax Course.

Students will be able to download a certificate upon completing each module. This certificate will outline the topics covered and the time allocated to each module. For workshop attendance and self-study, you will need to track this time yourself in accordance with your professional body’s requirements.

You will have access to the Learning Management System (LMS) until 30 June 2025. Be sure to download any available documents and certificates before this date, as we will not be able to provide access to these materials after that time.
