Thinking about handling both the books and the pays for a business? This pathway teaches them together, in Xero and in MYOB. It closes with a technician program run by the IPA.
Accounts work and payroll are taught side by side, not as separate buys.
Xero payroll and MYOB payroll each get a full course of their own.
Eighteen months of access, so the study bends around work and family.
Small firms want one person who can do the books and the pays. That mix is hard to hire and easy to picture: invoices in the morning, a pay run on Thursday.
Cover both sides for a small team.
Own the pay cycle and the ledger work.
Keep the money side of a business moving.
Roles where these skills are useful, not promised outcomes. Every job is different, and some ask for more study or experience.
Accounts first, then both payroll systems, then the IPA stage.
Three things that shape this pathway.
Accounts admin first, then Xero payroll, then MYOB payroll, then the IPA stage.
The office software sits inside the accounts course, not beside it.
Finishing the last stage makes you a member of the IPA.
One for each college stage
One for each stage you finish.
Awarded by the IPA at the end of the pathway.
Xero's own certification comes with it.
Send the pathway name and a good time to call.
An advisor maps the four stages against your week.
Upfront, or weekly, fortnightly or monthly.
Enrol and start on the accounts course.
None. The pathway starts at the beginning of both.
You do not. Both are taught from scratch inside the pathway.
Around three hundred hours of work, with eighteen months of access.
Six months from your IPA login email to finish the modules and the assessment.
An open book online task, two hours, with one re-sit inside three months.
It carries ICOES and CPD Standards Office accreditation, and the CAT letters come from the IPA. It is not nationally recognised, and the college is not an RTO. For accounts and payroll work, employers hire on what you can run.
Yes. A 10-day money back guarantee applies from enrolment. Fees paid to the IPA sit outside it.
This pathway is delivered by The Career Academy. The CAT program is run by the IPA.
The college is a Xero Partner and an MYOB Approved Education Partner.
Picture being the one person in the office who can do both.
