QuickBooks Payroll Basics to Professional Training Course (Level 1-3)
About Course
£429 instead of £657, but the better reason is continuity. The levels hand off to each other, so nothing gets repeated and nothing gets missed — you will not reach Level 3 and find a gap that belonged at Level 1.
Three certificates rather than one at the end, so you have something to show an employer after the first level. A manual per level, a month of email support after each, and the starter, leaver, auto-enrolment and year-end checklists you will still be using months later.
Fifteen to eighteen live hours with practising UK accountants, capped at five learners, always in a demo company. Book as one cohort or level by level with your price locked in. No QuickBooks subscription, no ProAdvisor account, no accounting qualification needed — Intuit’s own route is closed to office managers, owners and students. This one is not.
Note: After you enrol in the course, we will notify you of the live class schedule via email.
