Achieving Gold Status as a Simply Accounting by Sage Certified Consultant
Last week I attended the Simply Accounting training course for Certified Consultants. It was a three day course packed full of information and ideas for consultants. The training sessions also provided an opportunity to network with other consultants that possess a wide variety of skills and expertise.
The purpose of this training is to provide CCs with the tools and knowledge to enable them to serve their clients well. Prior to this Spring, a prospective consultant wrote an exam, paid a yearly fee and became a Certified Consultant for life, so to speak.
Now all Partners that wish to continue as CCs must update their knowledge and write an exam annually.
Sage has established these new qualifications so that when end users contact a Certified Consultant, the user can be assured that they are going to receive the very best support from a professional who truly knows the product line.
At present the highest level attainable is Gold, which I was able to accomplish. I am looking forward to reaching the next and highest level, Platnium, when it becomes available.
