Swots or What?

As you may (or may not) know, to be able to sell and support Sage products, it is necessary to attend training and pass annual recertification. This includes formal classroom training for most business areas and some self-study. The accreditation is by no means a formality with a significant dropout and failure rate, and is a considerable investment in time and money – and stress.

On Friday, 11 July, one of Sage’s Senior Managers attended our Bolton offices to invigilate / stand guard whilst Eventura specialists took the following Sage200 examinations – Technical, Finance, Commercials, Manufacturing, Warehouse and Retail.

We are delighted to say, our team successfully passed all elements with flying colours (to be honest we are advised Pass / Fail only, but we chose to think we did especially well :) ).

We are now in the process of planning another section to be added to our “wall of honour” where we display all our professional certifications.

To celebrate the above – and an unprecedented TWO commendations in the Bolton and Bury Business Awards in July - the entire Eventura team celebrated with a great “All You Can Eat” Tapas meal at “La Salsa” in Bolton, then enjoyed the hospitality, charm and ambience of a number of hostelries in Bolton Town Centre into the early hours.
