Eligibility Criteria

You must meet one of the following three requirements before applying:

  1. 3 out of the last 5 years of payroll practice in core payroll functions (domain includes payroll production, reporting, taxation, administration, consulting, education)
  2. Employment in payroll for the last 24 months, plus completion of all of these APA courses within that period:
    • Payroll Practice Essentials
    • Intermediate Payroll Concepts
    • Advanced Payroll Concepts
    • Strategic Payroll Practices
      (all offered exclusively through PayrollOrg)
  3. Employed in payroll for 18 months, plus holding the FPC credential and completing one of the above course bundles within 18 months

Remote Exam Logistics (OnVUE proctoring)

  • Non?US/India candidates should choose the CPP?Remote Exam authorization via PayrollOrg. The fee is the same whether taken online or at a Pearson VUE test center—no extra charge for remote proctoring
  • Before exam day, you must run a system check on your actual testing device (webcam, internet, ID capture, workspace scan)
  • Log in 15–30 minutes prior to your scheduled time on exam day.
  • Check?in includes photo ID verification, workspace scan, and some metadata capture of your testing area and rules acceptance
  • Virtual tools only: a virtual calculator and whiteboard are provided—no physical scratch paper or calculators allowed
  • A 10?minute scheduled break occurs after completing Section?1. No additional or unscheduled breaks allowed—exiting webcam view can invalidate your test
  • If your system or connection fails during the exam, your session will be terminated and your fee forfeited
  • After completing the exam, your results (Pass/Fail) appear on-screen immediately, and a score report is emailed within 24 hours

Fees & Retake Policy

  • Exam fee: $419 USD for APA members, $609 USD for non-members. These rates apply to both test?center and online proctored exams
  • Candidates may retake the exam as often as needed, but only once per testing window. Spring test window candidates must wait until the Fall window to re?test, and vice versa
  • A cancellation/reschedule fee of $50 applies if you cancel between 4–30 days before the exam; must cancel at least 96?hours in advance to qualify

Study & Preparation Tips

  • Candidates generally report spending 3 months or more studying using a combination of official APA course materials, the CPP content outline, and external practice resources
  • Real?practice questions often require use of the virtual whiteboard—many Reddit users suggest practicing calculations by typing or using a mouse before exam day
  • Mometrix and other providers offer summarized review guides/reserved content outline and sections to focus your prep

After the Exam & Recertification

  • If you pass, PayrollOrg will email instructions to order your certificate, lapel pin, and digital badge, generally within a week
  • CPP certification is valid for 5 calendar years. Recertification can be done through continuing education hours (Recertification Credit Hours, or RCHs) or by retaking the CPP exam during your 5th year
