What People Are Saying:

Going through the TELP program was an amazing experience and I learned so much. This TELP apprenticeship helped me learn a ton about federal and local tax laws, and I learned how to explain tax refunds to a client. Sheneya was also incredibly organized and whenever I had a question about my work she was quick to respond. Overall, when you take into account all the knowledge and experience I gained, partnered with Sheneya’s excellent guidance; learning through the Tax Essentials Learning Program was an experience I will forever appreciate.

Before T.E.LP., I was terrified of the IRS because I had little knowledge of how taxes work. After completing T.E.L.P., I can prepare a tax return with confidence and have a great understanding of how to plan to organize my personal and business finances so that I can benefit from the current tax codes. The information shared in this course is beneficial if not ESSENTIAL for every person that files taxes–so that means YOU and your family too!

TELP has been nothing short of amazing! As someone that never thought about taking up a career in the financial industry, TELP made me think otherwise. The ease in which we were taught things like tax law, marketing, and effective pricing, I feel so glad that I chose to invest in myself to learn this skill.
