Our Payroll Administrator Apprenticeship is ideal for individuals interested in handling or setting up payroll for organisations, and for those seeking the skills and a recognisable qualification for working competently in payroll. You will learn to process payroll accurately, provide customer service, and stay updated with changes in payroll practices. The apprenticeship also covers compliance, software, and communication skills for various sectors.
Successful completion of this apprenticeship will lead to eligibility to apply for Associate membership of the Chartered Institute of Payroll Professionals (CIPP).
This apprenticeship standard covers the core skills, knowledge and behaviours to demonstrate competency of a Payroll Administrator and covers key requirements to include:
You will develop your skills, knowledge and behaviours through on and off-the-job training and are expected to attend College for pre-arranged masterclasses.
You will need to have relevant employment, and entry is subject to interview and assessment.
GCSE English and maths grade 4/C or above (or Level 2 functional skills) are preferred.
Successful completion of the Payroll Administrator Apprenticeship may provide you with progression opportunities to more senior positions such as Team Leader, Supervisor or Manager within Payroll, or to move to related roles in departments such as HR, Finance or Pensions.
Your progress will be continuously monitored and supported by a Professional Trainer.
Depending on the standard, we assess your competence through various methods, such as practical exams, assignments, interviews, project work, presentations or observations and we will also evaluate your portfolio of evidence, which documents your learning and progress throughout your apprenticeship with us.
The apprenticeship end-point assessment is the final evaluation stage of your apprenticeship programme. It's designed to determine whether you have achieved the knowledge, skills, and behaviours required to meet the apprenticeship standard and perform the job role independently.
Successful completion of the end-point assessment is required to receive certification.
