The Payroll Specialist program is offered in partnership with the National Payroll Institute. Within this program, the ADP Workforce Now® Payroll Technology Practicum micro-credential course provides insight into the critical part of a payroll practitioner’s development plan, as it provides hands-on experience with a leading payroll and HR technology platform in Canada. The ADP Workforce Now® platform is used by many payroll professionals. By the end of the Payroll Specialist program, students will have the skills to apply their knowledge to implement end-to-end payroll administration using ADP Workforce Now.  The skills and understanding you build in this simulated payroll environment will be beneficial to you to use in other payroll systems as well. 

Learners who successfully complete micro-credentials will automatically receive a digital badge while they are working towards the completion of their certificate. 

Prerequisite(s): HPCP 211, HPCP 210, HPCP 212, HPCP 311 or equivalent courses
