5 The Online Certification Center Convenient online training and certification Fujitsu is committed to ensuring an exceptional customer experience. That s why training and certification on Fujitsu products and solutions is such an essential element of the SELECT Partner Program. But we are also committed to making it easy and convenient for channel partners to access all the benefits of the SELECT Partner Program. That s why we ve introduced the Online Certification Center (OCC). Online Certification Center (OCC) overview The OCC is accessible via the Fujitsu Channel Partner Portal. It gives you and your colleagues access to all the training modules you need to prepare for the relevant certification exams, which can also be completed online. The OCC is designed to be easy to navigate and use. Each training module is divided into manageable sections that can be completed quickly. And the training itself focuses on straightforward, interactive and practical guidance that can be implemented in the real world. How to get certified Certification is achieved by completing a combination of mandatory and optional training courses and passing the associated exams. Each course carries a certain number of certification points. Once the required number of points has been accrued, your organization is awarded the relevant certification. Certification is awarded to your organization, not to individuals. That means points are awarded collectively, and no single employee must pass every course. Candidates can even take the same courses. But points will only be awarded once for each course. The certification is valid for one year from the date it is awarded. Easy annual recertification Certification must be renewed on an annual basis. All certified partner contacts or contributors are automatically notified about the requirement to recertify 3 months before the certification expires. Contributors must then take the appropriate training and pass the relevant exams to extend the certification for another year otherwise known as recertification. To make the recertification process easier and faster, significantly fewer points are required than for the original certification. There are no mandatory training courses for recertification! You can choose from the full list of training courses and exams available within the Online Certification Center. Your competitive advantage Certification as a SELECT Partner or SELECT Expert gives you an edge. Specifically, you benefit from: Closer relationships and outstanding support from people and resources that help you maximize the business opportunity provided by Fujitsu products and solutions Enhanced skills and visibility comprehensive, convenient and free training for building skills that differentiate your business A growth engine for your business potential eligibility for bonuses and funds that help you grow your business with us faster. And the higher the partnership level you achieve, the greater the benefits become.
