Are you interested in classroom training for Sage 100 ERP (formerly MAS90 and MAS200)? Sage has a network of authorized training centers located across North America who schedule regular instructor led courses.
These courses are typically full day and include a user guide as well as plenty of opportunity to network with other students and ask questions of the instructor.

If you’re attending Sage Summit 2012 then you may want to attend what I consider to be the best course offered during the entire conference.
Each morning at 6am until about 7am a group of Sage partners and customers meet at the front lobby of the hotel (main entrance). For an hour we walk and discuss the important items we’ve learned during the day as well as courses that we are planning to attend during the day.
This informal (and unofficial) activity is a great way to meet new people during Sage Summit and also provides for lots of knowledge sharing.
No reservations required – simply show up at 6am at the front doors of the hotel starting Sunday morning.

This morning I received an email from an existing user of Sage ERP MAS 90 and 200 asking if I could refer them to a local education center where they could attend classroom instruction on the MAS90 Job Costing module.
Sage maintains a network of 9 different locations (most operated by independent partners authorized by Sage). These sites provide hands on classroom instruction using Sage created textbooks (which by the way are great substitutes for the manuals). I’ve often highly recommended the courses because the quality of the instruction and materials is so high.
Sage U Training Center Listing
Typically you’ll find each center offering a full suite of courses covering the various Sage ERP MAS 90 and 200 modules. Some of the more niche modules may have less frequent dates scheduled – and are often subject to re-scheduling if minimum attendance is not met – so always confirm these dates with the centers prior to booking travel.
If you’re not in the mood for live MAS90 instruction – you can also browse Sage’s Anytime Learning online offerings (which also have fantastic course manuals).
One of the most frequent questions we receive is regarding training for Sage MAS 90 and MAS 200. Often our clients hire new employees or would like a quick refresher course on the basics of MAS 90 and MAS 200.
As a general rule of thumb our recommendations on education are as follows:
If you are a brand NEW user to MAS 90 or MAS 200 with no experience – consider a class.
If you are tackling a new module that you have not used before (manufacturing, Visual Integrator) – consider training (we recommend attempting some self study first).
If you are an experienced user and you simply have a few questions – we think it’s best for you to compile a list of what you are having issues with and discuss those with your Sage Business Partner. This is because training classes are typically very broad and cover the topic in depth from start to finish – when you may already be familiar with a large portion of what is covered in class.
Here’s a training schedule for Kissinger Associates in Pennsylvania. They’ve been working with Sage MAS 90 and MAS 200 since I’ve been using the program and are also long time operators of a high quality authorized Sage training facility.
Most classes are full day – unless noted otherwise.
A benefit of attending these Sage Authorized classes is you receive:
