The Orange Belt is for tax professionals who want to deepen their understanding of tax workflows and tax technology, and build practical skills to contribute to digital transformation projects.

Basic tax familiarity ( Yellow Belt Certificate recommended): On top of having a basic understanding of core tax concepts through your experience in tax, accounting, finance, or a related field, we recommend having the previous Belt Levels completed as the courses build on each other.
No prior technology experience required: The course is designed for participants with varying levels of technical expertise, and you do not need any background in coding or tax technology tools.

CPD Certified Course

The Orange Belt is CPD certified, meaning the course has been independently reviewed and meets recognized standards for Continuing Professional Development. By completing it, you earn formal CPD credit that counts toward the annual learning requirements set by many professional bodies in tax, accounting, and finance. Your certificate serves as verified proof of structured professional development that you can submit to your institute or employer.
