More and more companies are looking for payroll professionals who are CPP/FPC certified.

In fact, a recent Robert Half Salary Survey suggests that payroll practitioners with a professional certification can command salaries as much as 10% higher than those without the certification.

Don’t let anxiety stop you from moving ahead with your professional growth. Many certified payroll professionals cite greater personal satisfaction, professional growth, and increased marketability as benefits of going that extra mile in their field. However, for many payroll practitioners, it has been years since they last studied for and sat for an exam.

Join IOMA and payroll expert Vicki M. Lambert for a valuable program that will outline the key elements of the CPP and FPC exams. Plus, you’ll also receive tips, techniques and shortcuts on how to study efficiently and effectively.

In just 90 minutes you’ll learn:
