Advanced Preparation

    Participation in NATP educational programs does not require any advanced preparation, unless stated.

Learning Objective

    NATP's National Conference & Expo is designed to provide tax and financial professionals with a broad range of educational opportunities.

Explanation of Levels/Prerequisites

    We acknowledge that tax professionals vary greatly in their experience and in the type of tax returns that they prepare. To help you decide which sessions are right for you, see the following guidelines:

      Basic - A basic level is most appropriate for the professional with little or no experience in the subject area being taught. This level may also benefit the seasoned professional with limited exposure to the subject area or someone merely looking for a refresher course in the area.

      Intermediate - An intermediate level is most appropriate for the professional knowledgeable in the subject area. This level deals with less common situations and includes a more in-depth presentation of topics than the basic courses.

      Advanced - An advanced level is designed for professionals with specialized knowledge or experience in the subject area. This would also be appropriate for the experienced practitioner pursuing the knowledge to deal with more complex issues.

      Update - An update level provides a general review of new developments. This level is for professionals with a background in the subject area who desire to keep current.
