As the Level 4 apprenticeship standard for a Professional Accounting/Tax Technician ([gov.uk](https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/apprenticeship-standard-professional-accounting-technician)) has been approved for delivery, HMRC would like to gather more information about training providers’ plans for delivering this standard in general. Any training delivery for HMRC would be likely to involve large annual cohorts of apprentices who would be based across the UK, potentially in the following locations – Newcastle, Manchester, Liverpool, Leeds, Nottingham, Birmingham, Cardiff, Belfast, Glasgow, Edinburgh, Bristol, Stratford and Croydon. In terms of numbers we would be interested to hear what you could offer for 500-1000 and 1000+ apprentices per annum. ### Aim / overall objective HMRC is seeking information which will allow us to make an informed choice about whether, and how, to proceed with a requirement for training organisation support for level 4 apprenticeships for tax professionals.
