Good to Know

Common Questions

Do I need payroll experience?

None. It opens with how pay is worked out.

How long is it?

About twenty hours, with six months of access.

Are there exams?

None, ever. Work through it when it suits.

Is Sage the only system covered?

Yes. This one is Sage from setup through to year end.

Do I get CPD credits?

Yes, on completion of the course.

Can I ask a tutor for help?

Yes, by phone and email during business hours.

Is this course accredited?

It is accredited by ICOES and the CPD Standards Office, so the CPD credits count. That is industry backing, not a QQI award. It is not a national qualification. For wages work, knowing the system is what employers ask about.

What if it is not for me?

A fourteen day money back window applies. The admin fee sits outside it.
