1 LindsayDruett 1 The __Gold Certified Partner__ designation offers the highest level of credibility in the marketplace. In fact, many governments and large corporations require Cisco Gold Certification as part of their Requests for Proposal (RFPs). Gold Certified Partners deliver the highest level of support, have typically gained expertise in three Specializations, and have achieved a measurable level of customer satisfaction. As a Cisco Gold Certified Partner, you'll receive a wealth of sales and marketing information, tools, and support.
