Learning to use Sage Master Builder software has never been easier! Whether you choose to take online classes, attend a seminar, or work directly with your Business Provider, you will learn how to get the most from Sage Master Builder. New and experienced users alike will discover new ways to save time and get more from every aspect of the program.

Customer Classes - Overview

Online classes make learning Sage Master Builder convenient and easy. Each instructor has years of experience using the software. In addition they work as Sage Master Builder Certified Consultants helping their clients learn and use this industry-specific solution. During online training classes, these knowledgeable instructors will lead you step-by-step through the class material.

Online classes allow you to view the instructor's computer screen as he or she demonstrates Sage Master Builder software. To hear the class, you dial into a toll-free number. Because the classes are live, you can ask questions at any point and benefit from other students' questions. Classes cover all aspects of Sage Master Builder, including Project Management, Estimating, Scheduling, and Payroll. For more information, check our Frequently Asked Questions page.

At Sage, we're committed to providing the best possible learning experience for our customers—including people with disabilities.  If you believe that you may be unable to gain the full benefit of this training due to a disability, please contact our Learning Services team at 1-800-330-7163 and we will make every effort to make a reasonable accommodation for you.

Software Version
Whether you are working with an older version of Sage Master Builder or our latest release, you will gain a great deal from taking online classes. All instructors are familiar with the differences between the versions. We encourage you to enroll in the classes that interest you, regardless of your software version.

Sample Company Versions
Depending upon the version of Sage Master Builder that you have, the year used in the Sample Company data (2001 or 2007) may be different. Either version of the Sample Company may be used in the online classes and does not impact your learning experience. The courseware is currently being updated to reflect these changes.
