The purpose of the SABT is to prepare special agents to support TIGTA’s critical and specialized mission to protect the public’s confidence in the tax system through audits, investigations, and inspections and evaluations related to the Federal tax system as administered by the IRS. It is the second and final formal training course for entry-level special agents and is taken after completing the Criminal Investigator Training Program (CITP), which is taught at the Federal Law Enforcement Training Center (FLETC) in Glynco, Georgia. SABT is currently a blended program with 16 instructional days consisting of eight (8) days of online training and eight (8) days of in person hands on training at the FLETC-Glynco Training Center. The program is offered at least once per year by the TIGTA Training Academy.
