Routes to your Payroll Qualification

As a result of changes in BTEC definitions of qualifications and requests from employers, we can now offer more choice on the stepped approach to personal development.

Students now have the option of two approaches to the Payroll Alliance distance learning qualifications. Some students prefer to make the commitment and complete the BTEC level 5 Diploma in Payroll Management in one go, which is a two year course.

Others prefer to take the level 4 qualification, the Diploma in Payroll Supervision first, which provides them with an exemption to the first three modules of the Diploma in Payroll Management and then take the extra two modules for the level 5 qualification in a “stepped” approach.
Both are equally valid approaches to achieving your goals depending on your circumstances and preferred method of study.

Any student completing the first three modules of the Diploma in Payroll Supervision, now qualifies for the Certificate in Payroll Practice. Students can now enrol for this as a separate qualification (BTEC level 4) and complete the last two modules of the course to obtain the full Diploma in Payroll Supervision.
