PARTNERS in Training (UK) Ltd, a specialist Sage reseller, has been accredited by Sage (UK) Ltd as one of the first Sage accredited resellers in the region.

The Sage accreditation programme ensures that Sage resellers can provide customers with expert advice on choosing the right business solution for their needs.

To become accredited, staff must have passed a number of Sage examinations to validate their commercial and technical product knowledge.

Furthermore, they must have been professionally trained to provide excellent customer service, support and advice.

The accreditation means that customers can be confident that they are dealing with experts in the field of Sage software who are able to support businesses by providing a range of related services.

Carole Buksh, who lives in Tisbury, and Sue Newman, directors of Partners in Training (UK), say they are "pleased that Sage is ensuring high standards of service with the accreditation programme and restricting unsupported sales by the 'quick profit mongers' who simply shift boxes with no thought for the end user's requirements".
