Which payroll qualification?
I have worked in payroll/HR admin for last few months after a change in career and have decided to study for a qualification but have found lots of different providers and various levels.
I have noticed that a few people on here work in payroll and would love to know which are the better qualifications and providers?
I initially thought of doing a business degree but have decided that this type of qualifaction would be more sensible?
Any help would be brilliant, thanks.

Personally I would go for an AAT qualification.
My husband and daughter are both just finishing their secnd year of AAT and husband is also doing a payroll course. No idea what it is actually called, but I will direct him over when he gets home to answer himself.
Yeah, I'm currently doing IAB Level 3, both manual and computerised, having done level 2 last year. Bizarrely, the manual course uses the computer, because HMRC issue a CD-ROM to employers with calculators for PAYE, NICs etc. The manual bit is that you need to work out manually how much gross pay you chuck into the HMRC calculators, and to work out how much net pay you get from the gross pay and the numbers the HMRC calculators chuck out at you. The computerised course is done (at my college) using Sage, and involves setting up a company's payroll and running a few payroll runs. You also learn all the theory about the payroll year, including legislation information, tax codes and various other bits and pieces.
Does the AAT one cover all aspects of payroll and benefits and stuff or solely payroll elements ofgross to net type stuff?
