Certified
Payroll Technician
The Certified Payroll Technician
(CPT) qualification provides Payroll personnel
with a nationally recognised qualification by which they
can be evaluated. The syllabus for this IPASS qualification
was prepared following consultation with Payroll professionals
in industry, commerce and in the public sector and it reflects
the diverse range of skills and knowledge which all payroll
professionals require in order to function efficiently.
The course material includes numerous examples
and self assessment questions which students can use to develop
their knowledge while they study. The course is extremely
practical and interesting and is designed to allow students
to progress at a realistic pace. Whether you already work
in payroll, or not, you will find this course extremely interesting,
practical and relevant to you.
The Benefit to Employers
The payroll function is probably the only
function which affects every employee in every company. Employers
need to ensure that payroll staff are given the necessary
training to enable them to perform their duties to the highest
standard. Apart from the positive effect on all staff, which
an accurate and efficient payroll service will generate,
employers need to ensure that inadequate, or inaccurate knowledge
of their payroll staff does not lead to problems with the
Revenue, the Dept of Social and Family Affairs, or the Dept
of Enterprise, Trade and Employment. In the present era of
self assessment and Revenue audits, professionally qualified
payroll staff can make a huge difference to the financial
and functional performance of any business.
The CPT course is run in 2 stages, Stage
1 and Stage 2, each comprising of 1 class per week, of 2 ½ hours
duration per class for 10 weeks. Classes are held in a number
of venues throughout the country and details of the course
venues and class times are available by clicking on the following
