    PayTrainDid you know the payroll services industry has grown 82% since 2008? According to the AJC, it is the fastest growing profession in Georgia since the Great Recession.

    Topics of Study

    • Payroll concepts
    • Paycheck calculations
    • Fringe benefits
    • Payroll reporting and employment taxes
    • Record keeping and payroll practices
    • Payroll accounting
    • Administration

    Martha BarreraThe Graduate
    Martha Barrera, recent PayTrain Fundamentals graduate, said, “I took my certification exam with the American Payroll Association and I passed it! This [class] is very important for people who work in payroll. The certificate and the certification will help you find a job. I plan to take Payroll [PayTrain Mastery] to improve my career. The APA recommended KSU, and I knew it was one of the best schools for business administration. It was very professional.”

    Exam Success
    We had 100% certification exam pass rate for our first class offered in July 2014.  This included FPC and CPP exams.
