Frequently Asked Questions How does the selection process work in detail? Partners will receive CVs of suitable candidates and can pre-select a number of candidates. Partners should perform an interview via phone or video in order to make sure that candidate(s) would be suitable. Selected candidates receive the self study material and take the evaluation class - once candidates have passed the evaluation class, a final interview may be performed by partner and as a result, one ore more candidates will be hired by partner (temporary contract). What happens with candidates that pass the evaluation class but are not hired by any partner? This should not happen because we allow only pre-selected candidates to enter the evaluation class. In those very rare cases where this would be the case, we will charge the partner a 10% cancellation fee but will allow the partner to select another candidate. What kind of recruitment services are included? The program includes the pre-selection of candidates, presenting suitable candidates to partners, and performing the final evaluation of candidates. Costs for personal interviews (for example travel costs) are not included, this needs to be arranged between partner and candidate. What happens if a candidate fails to complete the program? There is one additional check at the end of the CCNP Power Workshop. Candidates that are in really bad shape at this point in time will be asked to leave the program and the partner may select one more candidate free of charge. Once candidates are past this point, they will not fail; the program provides enough time for one to one mentoring as well as various retries. What happens if a candidate leaves the program? This is something neither it Learning Solution or Cisco can take responsibility for and needs to be part of the contract between the partner and the candidate. What are the terms of payment? 50% once partner orders one or more seats 30% once candidate has been hired by partner 20% after candidate achieved CCNP certification Can partners bring their own candidates? Yes, but they will still have to pass the evaluation class. If partners bring their own candidates, the total cost of the program is reduced to Euro 40.300 per student.
