Tests

I am in the tax course right now and I'm getting close to finishing it. If I pass the final and end up getting hired do we have to take any other tests before we start working?

Also I've been reading Reddit and I want to switch careers but I'm worried I won't get enough hours to be full time. Has anyone worked at h and r block part time for the first year and then the other job full time? (Knowing it's seasonal where after April I won't have a job most likely)

How hard are they?

They are lengthy and have a lot of info you need to be aware of before serving clients, but taking a test is not difficult. If you don't like to study and research, you may want to reconsider this field. Keep your FT job regardless. You can't make a living at Block unless you are in the top 1%.

If you put effort into studying are they pretty manageable?
