I have recently completed a level 2 AAT course in book keeping (the ABC course). I have some work as a book keeper using Quickbooks and IRIS.
I would now like to learn payroll and I am seeking advice for a practical, home based course which would give me a fighting chance of being able to run payroll on SAGE, Quickbooks etc.
I see this course from Kaplan: Institute of Certified Bookkeepers (ICB) Level 3 Payroll Management: Home Study
A shameful plug but the following link includes the payroll course which provides fully licensed Sage 50 Payroll software. Thought it might be worthwhile you knowing in case the software is of use to you after your studies are completed!!
