    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.

    Knowing this, we are set for another round of classes to begin in one of our newest programs. Payroll PayTrain® Fundamentals and Mastery courses are designed to give you a significant edge over job seekers who lack certification.

    The two courses comprise the Payroll Professional Certificate, a reflection of our partnership with the American Payroll Association. The program is designed for all levels of payroll administration as well as those interested in preparing for the Fundamental Payroll Certification (FPC) or Certified Payroll Professional (CPP) certification exams.

    Topics of Study

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

Additionally, she serves as the president of the American Payroll Association Atlanta Chapter.

    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.
