“I enjoyed studying for my Foundation Degree in Payroll Management. While I had managed our company payroll for nine years, I could never really explain to our employees why their tax and NI deductions were correct. Having learnt how to do manual calculations I am able to explain this. The knowledge I have gained from the course has given me the opportunity to improve the service I provide both to the employees and my employer. I am however looking for a new job at the moment and find that possible future employers are very impressed when I mention that I have this qualification and I believe this will open up opportunities for me that would not have been available without it. I can’t thank the qualifications team enough for the help and support I received during the course of my studies.”
