Payroll Learning Journeys

Sustainable payroll training through learning journeys

Seminars are a thing of the past, Learning journeys are the future!

Payroll training at the Payroll Training Academy is designed as a learning journey.

A learning journey is a modern and dynamic approach to learning that differs from traditional seminar formats. Instead of delivering a lot of knowledge in short, intensive seminars and a few days, a learning journey is spread out over a longer period of time and includes various learning methods and resources to promote deep and lasting understanding.

Payroll Learning Journeys - How learners benefit

  • Continuous learning: A learning journey allows participants to continuously learn and grow.

    Diverse learning methods: Instead of just listening to lectures, learning journeys use a mix of workshops, online modules, practical exercises, peer learning and individual coaching sessions. This is varied and promotes a more comprehensive understanding. In particular, individual learning platforms play a central role in a modern learning journey. They provide a digital infrastructure that facilitates access to learning materials, interaction and collaboration, and rapid support.

    Flexibility and customization: Learning journeys can be tailored to the individual needs and pace of the learner. This is especially helpful for professionals who need to fit learning into their workday.

    Practical orientation: By incorporating practical exercises and real-world case studies, learners can directly apply and reinforce their learning. This is particularly valuable in payroll, where the constant alternation between theory and practice is essential to understanding the subject matter.

    Long-term support: Learning journeys provide ongoing support and additional resources beyond the course. This can help learners better address real-world challenges and keep their knowledge current.

Example of Payroll Learning Journey

  • Mini-workshops: Introduction to the basics of payroll accounting in several live webinars in short units (‘learning snacks’)
  • Asynchronous learning on a learning platform: self-guided in-depth study of the topics with videos, practical exercises, case studies and tasks between the live units
  • Peer learning sessions: exchange and discussion with other participants via forums and groups or operational learning time made available.
  • Individual coaching: Personal advice and support for specific questions in live video conferences or chats.
  • Final exam and final workshop: Summary and evaluation of what has been learned via online exam sheets and planning of next steps for ongoing training.
