Program Levels

The Program allows Members to achieve levels of status in the Program based on the total points balance under the QBA firm’s ProAdvisor Program account. The Program offers four levels of status: Silver, Gold, Platinum, and Elite. Levels are earned based on the following points thresholds:

In the United Kingdom:

  • Silver – part of the Program and remain in good standing, <200 points balance
  • Gold – 200 points balance 
  • Platinum – 800 points balance
  •  Elite – 3,000 points balance

Once a QBA firm earns a status based on its total point balance from all Members in the QBA firm, all Members will get access to the benefits of the level achieved for as long as the points balance do not fall below the points threshold.
