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 integrated solutions across multiple countries within a given Cisco theater. A partner that achieves the required number of Silver and Gold certifications within the theater, as outlined below, will be recognized as a Multinational Certified Partner for that theater. To qualify, a partner must have a multinational resale agreement for the subject.

Note: FY'12 changes to the Multinational and Global Certification programs will be available soon.
