Updated Date: NZPPA BOOTCAMP 2025 (19 June 2025, 9 am to 12.15 pm)
Update: Due to scheduled roadworks that may impact the webinar, we’ve postponed it by one week. We apologise for the inconvenience — the new date is now set for 19 June.
NZPPA BOOTCAMP has been a feature NZPPA online event since the dark days of COVID, launching in 2022. NZPPA BOOTCAMP is designed to provide a short, sharp boost on essential payroll topics at a specific level. There are now two BOOTCAMP events: the original BOOTCAMP for new payrollers and, new for 2025, BOOTCAMP Masterclass for intermediate to senior payroll practitioners.
BOOTCAMP is not intended to replace formal training but should be seen as an essential professional development step for new payroll practitioners. From this year, it also serves as an annual refresher for intermediate and senior payroll practitioners (through the new Masterclass version). Over the course of the morning, six sessions will cover a wide range of payroll topics.
Your BOOTCAMP instructors are seasoned payroll professionals with years of experience in operational payroll.
BOOTCAMP can be viewed as a live event or OnDemand, as all attendees will also receive the recorded BOOTCAMP, along with presentation notes.
Attendees can ask questions (through ZOOM Q&A) during the sessions and will be encouraged to do so, along with any follow-up questions.
