Payroll courses

[thirdistheonewiththehairychest]

I'm about to start helping a family member out with some payroll for their growing business but I have very little no understanding or experience of working in payroll! I will be largely learning on the job, but can anyone recommend a course that I could do?

I found this course which looks for some reason to me a bit dodgy. But it's advertised on Reed so I suppose it's legit... anyone done a course like this before?

Go to CIPP - they do some really good online courses. I did a full degree with them but there are also one day courses for things like statutory payments and deductions.

They are the only recognised body for payroll professionals.

Courses are more expensive than some but if it's something that you would want to pursue as a career then it's definitely worth it.

What software will you be using? Mine is mostly automated through QuickBooks, no training required.

CIPP are great for payroll courses or a crowd called Intelligo do training on their own software; intelligosoftware.com/training/.
