Topic: National Tax Practice Institute
What is the NTPI Certificate Program?
The National Tax Practice Institute™ (NTPI®) is a three-level program developed to sharpen the skills of enrolled practitioners at all stages of their careers. With each level of this program, the core curriculum enables participants to expand their knowledge and skills, and gain the confidence needed to successfully guide their clients through the often-challenging maze of IRS codes, internal regulations, and agency structure. Please note that this program is open only to enrolled agents, CPAs, and tax attorneys. Those who complete Levels 1, 2, and 3 earn the distinction of NTPI Fellow®, a designation held by the nation’s top tax practitioners.

How do I complete the NTPI program and become a fellow?
A participant must complete all three NTPI Levels as well as a professional portfolio within a five-year period beginning with NTPI Level 1 courses in order to earn the NTPI Fellow designation. Once all 3 levels of courses have been completed a participant will complete the NTPI Graduation Form alerting NAEA staff of their completion. Once NAEA verifies completion, staff will be in contact regarding options to receive the certificate.   A graduate can add the certificate designation of NTPI Fellow on all media. Learn more about the NTPI program and its requirements on the NTPI Website under the NTPI tab. Complete the NTPI Graduation form now! 

I already started the NTPI program. Do I have to repurchase the content with the revised NTPI content in 2021?
If you took any of the NTPI course levels prior to 2016, you would have to take the new NTPI content that is offered in 2021. Find out the requirements of the classes that you will need to take and the new additional requirements for NTPI Level 3 beginning in 2022 on the Roadmap to NTPI .
