ATLANTA, GA--(Marketwire - August 18, 2010) - Sage North America today announced a new certification program for Sage Accountants Network members. Through the new program, Sage Peachtree Premier Advisors can now earn certification on Sage Peachtree, enhancing their product knowledge, earning CPE credits, and gaining a valuable industry credential.

"This program is a direct result of our members' feedback, giving our SAN members the opportunity to earn an additional credential, building their knowledge of the Sage portfolio and building their businesses in the process."
Comprehensive training to become a Certified Sage Peachtree Premier Advisor is available online through Sage University's Anytime Learning, so that Sage Accountants Network members can elect to take the training wherever, whenever makes most sense for their schedules. Those Sage Accountants Network members who achieve certification will receive priority listing through the Sage Accountants Network member locator, as well as additional discounts on training for themselves and their customers.
