Stay Connected

Partners must retain accredited individuals on staff to maintain Specialization designation. Partners are responsible to maintain their product knowledge on Symantec SMB focused solutions, so as new versions of training courses are released, partners will be required to refresh their product knowledge in order to maintain program status. Updated training modules are made available via PartnerNet upon release.
