So why do so many Pastel users opt to 'teach' themselves the program with little or no knowledge of the package. Time and time again Pastel Users operate the software for a financial period, and at the end of the year waste money on costly call-out-fees to rectify the system and 'balance the books.' Two hours of Pastel training can help users maximise their investment in the software, as they are able to fully utilize all the programs benefits. After purchasing a package we always recommend our clients to 'play' around on the system for a couple of days before the scheduled training session commences. During this time users may come across stumbling blocks, or have general questions about the software, which can later be addressed during the training. Training is an important aspect to consider when purchasing Pastel software , especially if you are a first time user.
