Sage 50 Accounts Certification
Posted: 17 Jan 2016, 14:19
Hello,
I was just hoping to get a bit of advice as someone who is changing career and looking to gain accreditation in the use of Sage 50 Accounts software.
Having looked at distance learning options, it seems most colleges/course providers offer Sage 50 Accounts courses at Levels 1, 2 and 3. However, looking at the official Sage website (https://shop.sage.co.uk/accountscertification.aspx) it seems they offer certification at an additional Level (Level 4) which I have not seen offered on any other training provider websites.
I was just hoping someone could clarify (1) whether the 'Levels' described above are the same for both the official and distance learning providers, and (2) if so, perhaps to explain why the Level 4 certificate is seemingly only available via the Sage website itself?
Also, I assume the official route (Levels 1-4) is the best option for me as someone looking to begin a career in accounting, but would be very glad to hear of any other routes which employers would prefer on a beginner's CV, if they happen to exist! (I have also so far completed the first two modules of an ACCA, exams pending...)
Thank you very much to anyone who replies.
