Online Courses: Online directly through the National Payroll Institute (excluding challenge)
The National Payroll Institute offers Online courses, which are primarily self-directed, meaning that, for the most part, there are no scheduled class times or lectures. Students work through the material at their own pace, however, must complete assignments, discussion questions, and exams by the dates communicated to them at the start of the course. Students are assigned an instructor and can email course-related questions to them at any time during the course.
In addition, there are instructor-student live “Check-in” sessions, scheduled at various intervals throughout the course. These live sessions are opportunities for students to meet virtually with their instructor, to ask any questions they might have about the content, and to understand more about the exam experience, including a review of the exams proctoring requirements. The sessions will be recorded for students who cannot attend
The assignments, the discussion activities, along with the exams have pre-determined due dates. All of the coursework is completed online through the Institute’s Learning Management System, Brightspace.
The online midterm and final exams are remote proctored through Integrity Advocate. The remote proctoring fee is included in the online course fee.
Live Courses: Post-Secondary Classroom and Virtual Classroom
Live, In-class and virtual courses, completed through a post-secondary institution, are directed by the post-secondary institution’s instructor. Students will attend and participate in classes and lectures at the same time as their peers.
The online midterm and final exams are remote proctored through Integrity Advocate. The remote proctoring fee is included in the classroom course fee.
Both an overall grade of 65% and a mark of at least 65% on the final exam are required to pass the course. A minimum grade of 65% on the exam is required to pass the challenge. An online grade report will be available two weeks after the official end date of the course. For confidentiality reasons, marks cannot be given by phone, fax or email.
