paytrain logo APA’s PayTrain® College & University Program

In cooperation with the American Payroll Association, Temple College Business and Continuing Education presents the PayTrain College & University® program for payroll professionals. Comprised of two professional development courses, PayTrain Level 1 and PayTrain Level 2, the TC Payroll Professional Academy is designed for all levels of payroll administration. Students receive live classroom instruction, textbooks, and access to interactive online games and applications to reinforce topics learned.

The Level 1 course prepares you for the Fundamental Payroll Certification (FPC) exam, and both Level 1 and Level 2 courses together, as well as required on-the-job payroll experiences, prepare you for the Certified Payroll Professional (CPP) certification exam. The two parts of the program are required for the Certificate Program and together offer the knowledge and skills necessary to sit for the FPC and CPP exams.


Degrees & Certificates

Upon successful completion of the program, graduates will receive a certificate of completion. CEU’s will be awarded upon satisfactory completion of each of the two courses.   Graduates will also receive a Certificate of Achievement from the American Payroll Association, the premier association for payroll professionals and the recognized source of payroll education in the United States.
