Vendors often provide instructor-led training, in-person or online, that allows partners to achieve the desired certifications.

Partners may benefit from specializations by receiving greater rewards like higher rebates and margins. Partner specializations also allow resellers to exhibit their knowledge in a specific area that customers may struggle with.
