Sage CD-ROM home study options

Choose a CD ROM training option and benefit from full control of what you learn and when you learn it. These courses are very similar to the e-learning courses available, except please note – they do not allow you the ability to contact a Sage Tutor, complete any final tests, or download a Certificate of Achievement.
Each course does however allow you to use a simulation version of the Sage software, meaning that you are still learning through practicing, and you are not interfering with any of your live accounts data.
