Ready to master the Merged R&D Scheme?
Our free course is not just stuff you can find online. It’s based on our collective experience of working in R&D for decades, and our detailed analysis of the legislation defining the new Merged R&D Scheme.
The course is broken down into 4 units, each containing bite-sized video lessons and short quizzes at every stage. It’ll take you around 60-90 minutes to complete.

The course has been incredibly useful to help us quickly decipher some of the more nuanced changes in the Merged Scheme, particularly in relation to subcontracted costs (both domestically and overseas), as well as how grants and subsidies interact with the new scheme.
Oliver Mountford
I found the merged scheme course extremely insightful, and it gave me the opportunity to test my understanding of the changes with short quizzes. The course simplifies the guidance released by HMRC and is easy to understand. I would recommend the course to all advisors/accountants.
Kevin Johnson
The course was enjoyable, informative and highly relevant to changes coming into the scheme from 1st April. I particularly liked how any past scheme rules were explained first, so any new changes could be appreciated more. A well worthwhile investment (of an hour and a half) of my time to keep up to date, and my own CPD plan.
Bradley Goddard
There was a nice balance between the complex, technical information and easy to understand graphics that I felt would be well received by people with all levels of R&D experience.
Tim Holmes
The content in the free trial is well worth the time to go through and view all the modules. Look forward to more.
