* After gaining a level a member will need to provide evidence they have undertaken professional development annually to maintain their grading. This can be through special events that the NZPPA provide or through other courses or events that relate to the payroll area.

** Credits are not given for attendance. To gain the credit the member will need to complete a workplace assignment that will be assessed. Each assessment costs $50 plus GST, in addition to the cost of the course.

 

Recognition of prior learning and experience

Some new or existing members will have vast experience in the payroll industry. It is not the intention of NZPPA for these members to undertake unnecessary training, but it is very important that anyone with NZPPA accreditation has a professional standing.

It is the aim of NZPPA that accredited members will become sought-after payroll professionals in the payroll industry, by recruitment agencies and employers.

If you wish to apply for recognition of prior learning and experience please complete the following form and forward with your evidence. If you have any questions please contact This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it .

You may be contacted to provide further evidence. If the accreditation application is not accepted you will be informed what areas require further evidence and a timeframe for when the application can be resubmitted.
