Good to Know

Common Questions

Do I need payroll experience?

None. The course sets payroll up from scratch.

Do I need to know Xero first?

It opens with an introduction to Xero online.

How long is it?

About fifteen hours, with six months of access.

Are there exams?

None, ever. Take it at whatever pace suits.

Does it cover filing?

Yes. Payslips, reporting and filing are all in there.

How many CPD hours?

Ten, earned on completion.

Is this course accredited?

It is accredited by the IAAP and delivered by an ICOES accredited centre. That is industry backing, not a QQI award. It is not a national qualification. For payroll roles, knowing the system is what gets asked about.

What if it is not for me?

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