Canadian and US tax courses taught by practising accountants — video instruction, live tutor sessions, and hands-on work in the same software firms actually use, finishing with a real client interview you have to conduct yourself.
Most tax courses stop at explaining. Ours does not. You are given genuine client files — the slips, the receipts, the missing paperwork, the contradictions — and you prepare the return in the same professional tax software a firm would put in front of you on your first day.
Nobody tells you which lesson applies. Working that out is the exercise, because working that out is the job.
See how On-Hand Training worksComprehensive Canadian tax training — personal T1 returns front to back, then an introduction to corporate returns. Over 20 hours of instruction from a practising CPA, CGA.
Federal individual tax preparation for the US filing season — Form 1040 and its schedules, worked end to end in real software, timed to run into the season itself.
You do not finish here by watching the material. You finish by preparing returns, answering for them, and handling a client who does not hand you the facts.
Bite-sized video tutorials you work through at your own pace, on your own schedule. Every topic stands alone, so you can go straight to the one you need and come back to it later as a refresher.
Graded quizzes after each module tell you what actually landed. You do not move on because you watched a video; you move on because you can answer for it.
Scheduled sessions with a practising accountant, in person or over Zoom. This is where the things a video cannot answer get answered, against your own questions and your own files.
Real client scenarios prepared end to end in real tax software. Slips, receipts, a messy set of facts and a return that has to balance — the work as it arrives on a desk, not as it appears in a textbook.
A live interview with an AI client who only tells you what you think to ask, and who forgets, hedges and contradicts themselves the way real clients do. You conduct the intake, spot what is missing, and file on what you gathered.
Every instructor is a practising accountant. The examples are the returns that came across their desk, not a textbook simplification of them.
Canadian T1 and T2 returns and US federal returns, taught to the same standard. Take one or take both — most of our students end up wanting both.
Graded quizzes, practical cases in real software and a proctored final. A certificate from here means somebody checked that you can do the work.
Live tutor sessions in person or over Zoom, plus a direct line to your instructor between them. You are never stuck on a video alone.
