Your Premier Support Ireland team would like to invite you to enjoy a day out of the office and be our guest at our facilities while you have the chance to brush up on the latest technology information and offerings.  Whatever the programme or query, we are sure to have a course that can answer your questions and broaden your skills with the programmes you use on a daily basis to help your company manage their business.  We offer formal workshops with instructor led lessons and labs, in addition to less formal "Chalk n' Talks," which include overview and Q&A sessions from Microsoft technology experts.
