Blog Post: G.I. Bill Now Covers Payroll Training and Certification
posted Tuesday, August 11, 2009 2:30 PM
In a new initiative aimed at helping military members gain payroll certification, the American Payroll Association has joined with several military programs to offer educational assistance and certification testing on military installations. APA’s online certification prep courses are being offered to military personnel and their families through a partnership with Excelsior College ’s Center for Professional Development (CPD), with military education benefits covering 60% of the cost.
APA is also now a recognized member of DANTES, the Department of Defense’s education program for military personnel and families, whereby both the Fundamental Payroll Certification (FPC) and Certified Payroll Professional (CPP) exams will soon be available at more than 500 DANTES military installations around the world. In addition, as of May 2009, the cost of FPC and CPP certification testing is eligible for tuition assistance reimbursement through the G.I. Bill. If you or someone you know is a veteran or active duty military, send an e-mail to education@americanpayroll.org for more information. Leaving the military? Hire a veteran? Step 1. Check your military education benefits eligibility at www.gibill.va.gov. Step 2. Consult www.americanpayroll.org/certification to determine if you should prepare for the FPC or the CPP exam. Step 3. Enroll in online payroll courses, including: PayTrain®, Fundamentals of Payroll, and PayTrain Mastery. Step 4. Consult your DANTES representative to schedule your certification test. Step 5. Go to www.americanpayroll.org/job-board to view job postings.
