Global Resale Partner Program
While Gold, Silver, Premier, and Select certifications are awarded based on an organization's ability to support customers within a single country or Cisco-defined country grouping, the Cisco Global Resale Channel Program recognizes partners that have expertise in selling and supporting Cisco solutions across the globe or multiple countries. There are two certifications available: Multinational and Global.
Multinational Certification
Multinational Certification recognizes partners that have expertise in selling, deploying and supporting Cisco architectural solutions across multiple countries within a given Cisco GEO territory. A partner that achieves the required number of Silver and Gold Certifications within the GEO will be recognized as a Multinational Certified Partner for that GEO. To qualify, a partner must have a multinational resale agreement in place. Please contact your Cisco partner account manager for more information.
Effective May 1, 2012, Cisco updated the Multinational Certification Program to reflect sub-regional certification options within the new Cisco GEO territories. The sub-regions allow a partner to choose specific areas in which they will hold the certifications to maintain multinational status.
The following represents the options for which a partner can maintain a multinational status. Each sub-region has a required number of Gold and Silver Certification badges which must be achieved and maintained in order to hold the Multinational status.
