Course materials are dispatched from our printer’s premises by courier. They are not available for collection from the ITI. As we dispatch to over 1,600 students on both the TMITI and AITI programmes in a matter of weeks, we cannot predict the exact time or day when your materials will arrive. For this reason, we request a business address for delivery of materials, as someone will have to sign for the delivery upon arrival.

Student services include a secure Students area on this website and a dedicated course co-ordinator who can be contacted by phone or e-mail. The website should be your first port of call.

The ITI’s bimonthly publication, Irish Tax Review, also contains a dedicated TMITI Student News section. If you have queries about the course, your application, fees or exams, your co-ordinator will be able to answer them. Students also receive TaxFax, a weekly e-newsletter to keep you up to date with the latest tax news.
