my manager ask me to take Sage training course. she said there are loads of online course. But I prefer to classroom training. I am in Leeds , but I don't mind 1 or 2 hours drive if there is good training.
what do you recommend?
is there any sage training company who provides bookkeeping course as well?
Sage will not provide bookkeeping courses, but some bookkeeping trainers provide sage training. Depends what sage you use though as to which training you will need. Plus I thought you were doing bookkeeping training via CIMA?
You can do sage training at most local colleges (some 6th form colleges do such courses at night), check out your local ones and even your local council website for such. But they are expensive.
You can do pretty much do a lot of training via the sage system itself ....it has piles of stuff in the help screens, plus you have a demo and practice mode. You might need to switch the demo/practice modes back on, via sage at your workplace.....see help screen how to do it, or just google it.
Also, worth a look at the book sage for dummies, available from most libraries.
All the above assumes sage 50.
If it's sageone,the cloudy nonsense, that's a different kettle of fish. You can learn that via a stand alone module from one for the AAT levels, eg from first intuition, although be aware sageone is constantly being upgraded to the point that the training providers can't keep it with it!! You could also just download a one month free trial of that and go have a play with it.
Sorry for typos, no glasses and using ipad with predictive text!!! I really should just get up and get my glasses.

No problem Grace, was glad to have a bit of a break away from the work piles, although I have to admit, when I read back a few of my posts this morning the typos were actually quite appalling, so I had to do quite a few edits on a number of posts. Although maybe I shouldve left one or two as they were quite funny with the dodgy predictive spellcheck changing things and wouldve had a few wondering what I had been on last night!!

We run Levels 1 to 3 based on Sage 50 via distance learning and I can also recommend Skills First who are Sage accredited offering combined manual and computerised courses. With our courses you would sit an exam and with Skills First it's assessment based only.
