The Chelco VAT International Academy is now accepting expressions of interest/registrations for attending the Diploma in VAT Excellence (DiVE) course, for the academic year 2026-2027.
What is DiVE?
The Diploma in VAT Excellence is a course spanning a period of 10-months, which elevates Value Added Tax knowledge to the level of a VAT expert, with an emphasis on the Cyprus VAT legislation.
The world of VAT requires dedication and knowledge to tackle the complexities of the legislation. Attending a seminar, conference or a short course may be enlightening to an extent, but is certainly not sufficient as a basis for providing VAT advice or offering VAT compliance services. The purpose of DiVE is to allow individuals and/or businesses to invest in a solid foundation on which they can then offer or apply the knowledge gained to service their own VAT requirements or those of their clients.
The course will commence in September 2026 with completion in June 2027 and will be taught by Academy Lead Instructor, Alexis Tsielepis, as well as guest VAT experts from Cyprus and abroad. This is the 5th DiVE program, with the 4th ending in June 2025.
The course will cover:
The topics that will be analysed in detail as part of the course will be:
Training may take place through a mixture of face-to-face sessions and online learning.
The official language of the diploma is English. Places are limited to 10 persons.
