FAQ
                                     FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

How do I submit payment?
Upon qualification and acceptance into the program, the partner will receive a SKU that is located in our Product
Catalog. The partner must submit the PO via their distributor if direct is not possible.

Can co-op be used to pay for each module?
No, co-op nor CLCs cannot be used to pay for the program. No discounts can be applied either.

How long does the partner specialization and engineer certification last?
They last for a duration of 2 years. As technology is constantly evolving so will the material and training programs.

What is the difference between TAC Academy and PSCP?
TAC is all about customer support and the academy teaches how to mitigate and solve issues you receive from
the customers. Professional Services deals with deployment, planning, execution, monitoring, and troubleshooting.

Does the same engineer need to attend each module?
No, you can send a different engineer to each module.

Do I need to attend all modules?
No, each module comes with its own specialization. You may attend all of them if you'd like and your company would
earn the PSCP Elite Specialization.

Can I send more than one engineer?
No, due to the limited spots available we can only allow one engineer to register per
partner. The engineer will be given resources to then train other engineers internally.

Can I receive a discount if I send engineers to more than one module?
Yes, partners will receive a 20% discount for additional modules they participate in.
The first module will cost the full price of $1,500 and the additional ones will be at a 20% discount.
