Local Chapters & Certification

APA Local Chapters offer many opportunities for payroll professionals to become certified or to earn Recertification Credit Hours (RCHs) for their current payroll certification. They achieve this by coordinating study groups to assist members who are pursuing payroll certification. Chapters also conduct chapter meetings and statewide payroll conference workshops that qualify for RCHs.

Awarding Recertification Credit Hours (RCHs)

All chapter-sponsored study groups, meetings, seminars and/or conferences must be approved by APA's Certification Department prior to awarding recertification credit hours (RCHs) to attendees.

If your chapter plans to award RCHs, please submit the completed RCH Approval Form via e-mail by clicking on the "Submit by Email" button provided at the top of the form. If you are unable to submit the form via e-mail, please fax the completed form to (210) 224-5814.

For additional questions, please contact APA's Certification Department at 210-226-4600 or [email protected].
