ACCOUNTING & PAYROLL ADMINISTRATOR
Program Objectives
The objective of this program is to give the student “hands-on” training in the key areas of financial accounting and payroll, as well as in the implementation and operations of a computerized accounting system. The practical, rather than the theoretical, is stressed.

The successful graduate will have the necessary skills to keep a set of books, both manually and on a computerized system.

The certification is nationally recognized as the statement of excellence for payroll training. The pass mark in the required modules is 60%.

This program also includes the potential for Microsoft Office Specialist (MOS) certification at the Expert level in Excel and Word and at the Core level in Access.
