Payroll IQ diagnoses what your payroll team doesn't know and builds a 90 day plan to support their customised learning.
THREE STEPS TO A CONFIDENT TEAM

How Payroll IQ works

1. Diagnose

A short diagnostic assessment pinpoints the gaps in each learner's payroll knowledge.

2. Plan

Payroll IQ generates a 90 day customised plan matching what each learner needs and nothing that they don't.

3. Stay on track

Learners follow a 90 day plan, making development a manageable part of their weekly routine. Their progress then shapes the next plan, creating continuous, measurable improvement.
BUILT ON EXPERIENCE. DESIGNED FOR YOU.

Payroll IQ is what 16 years of payroll training looks like when it's personalised.

Created by Australian Payroll Association, Australia's peak body for payroll professionals, drawing on the experience of delivering training to more than 1,500 attendees every year and supporting a community of over 11,000 members.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Quick answers. Anything we have missed, ask us on the form.
Payroll IQ is currently available to organisations with an active APA Professional Membership. You can add a Payroll IQ licence for each learner on your team. 
Not yet. Access for non members is coming. In the meantime, you can join as a Professional member or register your interest here and we'll let you know when it opens.
$1,550 per learner per year (GST inclusive, Member discount available). That covers the diagnostic assessment, your 90 day plan, the full video library across all 15 payroll topic areas and a reassessment every 90 days.
Licences line up with your membership. The fee is pro rated to the time left on your current membership term, so you only pay for the months you use. 
Submit the order form and we'll send you an invoice. Payment is by bank transfer. Once it's received, each learner gets an email with a secure link to log in. 
 We don’t offer a free trial, but you’ll see value from your first day. Within your first week, you’ll complete your diagnostic and receive your personalised 90 day plan, so you’ll know exactly where your gaps are and how you’ll close them. 
 You confirm your email and sit a diagnostic assessment, which takes about 25 minutes. Payroll IQ then builds a 90 day plan from your results. It skips your strengths and schedules your gaps week by week around the time you've committed. 
 Every 90 days, learners are reassessed. Their results shape the next plan, so training keeps focusing on what they still need.
