Are You Ready to Take the Certification Plunge?

 

You have entertained the idea of attaining your Certified Payroll Professional (CPP) or Fundamental Payroll Certification (FPC) designation but you haven’t pursued what actions you need to take to attain this goal.

 

You have doubts about how much you do know and how much you do not know.  You don’t know where to start.  

 

The American Payroll Association of Acadiana can help you!! 

Individuals can take a step closer to attaining this goal by participating in APAA’s local Study Group. 

There are many advantages to a Study Group. 

A few are:

                       

•  It exposes you to other payroll professionals who are currently or previously were in your situation.

• Our Study Group leaders have developed a curriculum covering all pertinent information and determined the best way to help you retain what you learn.

•  The curriculum includes practice tests.  The more practice exams you take, the more comfortable you become.

• Before I enroll in a Study Group, what do I need to consider and what can I expect?

• You need to recognize the value of attaining your certification and want to be one of the elite who have successfully gained certification.

• Before enrolling, you have to tell yourself that you are ready to take the plunge.  You MUST make that commitment and acknowledge that the time is right and you want to attain your certification

• You have to dedicate yourself and commit to following the study schedule and completing the home study assignments.

• The group meets bi-weekly for approximately a three month period.

In addition to the Study Group, is there anything else I should consider?

 

                       

 You may want to consider a “study buddy”.  With a study buddy, you can reinforce what you have learned in class with each other.  Also your buddy may have different strengths than you do, and you can assist each other.
