Training

Contact us to discuss your training needs

At PEER Group we believe targeted training helps accelerate your learning and gives you a strong foundation for success. We recognize that everyone has different training needs and timelines so we offer a variety of training options, all of which can be customized. Our customers often choose to add solution consulting topics to a training course so they can develop a deeper understanding of how to apply their knowledge to their specific solution. Some courses can be offered remotely and structured as a series of sessions to give you the topic knowledge when you need it most, depending on your implementation timeline. Or, we can visit your site and offer multi-day hands-on training. We also offer fully customized training courses including comprehensive certification programs. Contact us to discuss your needs.
