OUR STORY
We at Sage Training Group noticed that the world has begun to express fear and uncertainty about the future, and people want a sense of confidence that only independence and self-reliance can give.
Though people desire training and education, we saw that it is hard to find high-quality training courses for the average person to feel heard and respected with up-to-date information for a competitive price. Most importantly, we wanted to create an environment where you felt comfortable to refer your loved ones — your spouse, your children, your friends — and you would trust that they could get a quality education, leaving them feeling knowledgeable, empowered, and able to contribute positively to their communities.
We realized that the barrier to learning was not lack of information, as information is everywhere — but it is a lack of structured information that is easily digestible and practical. It is either over-engineered or rushed through instead of taught with time and patience. We understand everyone starts somewhere, and we want you to start your journey with us.
