Hi, I am planing on doing ICB payroll exam and decided to do that without the help of training providers. Did anyone used Sage Instant payroll workbooks or Sage 50 payroll workbooks to pass their exams? Which one would be more suitable for the exam and is there a free software included? Many Thanks
