QUERIES
Questions about this route
Anything else: the chat in the corner is answered by a person, or see how access works.
How long can I watch it, and when does access start?
You can watch The Payroll Route: First Payslip to Year-End for 24 months from the day access begins. Access details arrive by email within one working day of payment, and you can rewatch any lesson as often as you like during that time.
What exactly is the format?
Streamed video lessons, watched online: 63 lessons across 7 modules, 13 h 39 min of video in all. The lessons are recorded, so there is no live tutor and no marking, and nothing is downloadable. Tax content is education, not advice on your own situation; rates and thresholds are taught for a stated tax year.
Is it the right route for me?
It was made for new payroll administrators and office managers taking over payroll. At the suggested pace of 3 hours a week it takes about 5 weeks. If you are unsure where to begin, the rest of this shelf shows the neighbouring courses.
