Sponsored Organization Benefits
Becoming a Cisco Learning Partner has many benefits - not the least of which is the opportunity to expand your business via high-margin training. But before we get into the specifics, let's first define what being a Learning Partner is all about.
The Cisco Learning Partner program is designed to deliver Cisco Authorized Training through qualified partners. Cisco understands the learning expertise held by qualified partners and has always been interested in aligning its technical training delivery with the very best organizations. Through careful selection and partnership, Cisco now has a growing network of training centers that deliver technical training to individuals and corporations. Each year Cisco Learning Partners train thousands of CCNA, CCNP and CCSP candidates. Cisco Learning Partners have the privilege to access Cisco Authorized Curriculum, employ Cisco Certified Systems Instructors (CCSI), hardware, Element K® vLabs® and provide training for a range of Cisco networking technologies. To better understand if your organization may qualify to become a Learning Partner, please contact your account representative.
The advantages of becoming a Learning Partner are many. The first - and most important - is the instant ability to expand your business. Cisco is among the most popular vendor tests at Prometric testing centers, second only to Microsoft. The demand for entry level as well as advanced courses will certainly fill your classrooms. The quality of the Cisco Authorized Training Program is another reason to consider becoming an Learning Partner. According to The Gartner Group, "Cisco's training and certification programs have been one of the largest contributors to Cisco's growing market share". In a recent readers survey by CertCities.com, Cisco was rated the "Best Overall Certification Program". Clearly Cisco Certifications are held in high esteem throughout the networking industry, valued both by technologists and the corporations who employ them. So if you are searching for a business growth opportunity, becoming a Cisco Learning Partner is the answer.
By becoming a Cisco Learning Partner, you will be associating with one of the most successful technology companies in the world. Cisco has built a dominant market share (90%+) in the networking field and is one of the most financially stable technology companies. As a Learning Partner you will enjoy the benefits of working with a company that is continuously expanding both current and new markets. As Cisco technologies increase penetration into corporations and government entities, your training business will also grow.
