In 2025, in line with the programme’s philosophy, existing trainers had the opportunity to complete an advanced series to obtain a re-certification valid for two-years upon successful completion. This led to the establishment of a pool of 158 recognised trainers from 52 jurisdictions, who form the renewed TtT network.
The 2026 advanced programme aims at deepening trainers’ expertise on specific topics and strengthening the network. Overall, 117 trainers from 44 jurisdictions from Africa, Asia, Pacific, Central and Eastern Europe, Middle East, Latin America and the Caribbean are participating in the programme, reflecting its broad geographical reach and continued relevance.
Over nine months, participants will attend three thematic sessions, covering topics such as beneficial ownerships, group requests on digital platform and transfer pricing audits in different sectors, and will then conduct at least one local training to maintain their certification over the next few years. Participants will also exchange with peers on EOI-related topics during newly established TtT connect sessions.
