After two years successful study covering 11 modules, you will be awarded the National Diploma in Payroll Administration.

As is only fitting for a course of this calibre and in recognition of all of the hard work and dedication put in by students to successfully complete the course, all graduates are invited to a formal Awards Ceremony, which is held early in the next year following the course completion.

The course is structured in consideration of people in full time employment, giving them enough time to complete the assignments after their workshop.

The course is designed by PAYROLL EDUCATION with relevant Government and Legal aspects covered. It covers the entire spectrum from payroll principles to payroll practice. It is divided into two parts, each being one academic study year. The course is structured to allow continual assessment; there are written knowledge and skills questionnaires and assignments each year. No formal classroom examinations are used for the assessment of students.

Adequate support is essential when undertaking a course such as the Diploma and for this reason each student is allocated a personal facilitator.

Personal Facilitator

All facilitators are selected for their experience as managers within the payroll profession and have also successfully completed the Diploma themselves. Your facilitator will be available at all times throughout the course to advise and guide you. An assessor will also provide you with detailed feedback on all of your assignments.

Tutorial Workshops

Alongside this individual support, your facilitator will also provide four 5-hour group workshops in the first year and four in the second year where you will be able to discuss each assignment along with any difficulties you are having. These workshops are considered an essential part of your study year. These workshops will provide you with the opportunity to discuss any problems and exchange views with other payroll people. The workshops will take place on Saturday mornings and will be arranged via Payroll Education.

Helpline

In addition to the facilitator support, as part of your student membership you are entitled to use the Helpline via telephone or email, which provides comprehensive assistance within office hours for both general queries and specific technical matters.

There are no formal entrance qualifications although due to the advanced level of this qualification a selection panel assesses all applications to check candidates’ suitability. You must be over 18 years of age.
