Cisco Specialization and Certification
Cisco Partner Certification Program
In the enhanced Channel Partner Program, your certification level directly reflects your technology-skills breadth across key technologies. This confirms your ability to deliver integrated networking solutions.
Select Certification
Select Certification is an entry point into the Cisco Channel Partner Program for partners with a primary focus on small and midsize business (SMB) customers with fewer than 250 employees. This certification offers training, tools and incentives and indicates a partner's competence in selling and deploying Cisco SMB solutions.
The SMB segment has become the IT industry's fastest-growing market because
more SMB customers are embracing technology to gain a competitive advantage.
These customers rely heavily on their IT partners as trusted advisors and knowledgeable
network professionals who can successfully design and deploy Cisco SMB solutions.
