Investing in Your Future SuccessThe following is a comparison of time and out-of-pocket expenses* required to achieve an Advanced Wireless LAN Specialization using either Partner Education Connection (PEC) or Instructor-Led Training (ILT), where available. Using PEC training generally saves significant travel expenses, training fees, and out-of-office time. Note: When you renew your specialization you may incur only exam costs. See below for details. Cisco specializations and certifications represent a significant investment of time and resources. We highly recommend you consult with your Cisco channel manager prior to committing to a particular specialization or certification to help ensure there is adequate opportunity in your geography and market. * Times and costs are estimates for the purpose of comparison. Your organization's investment may vary depending on the career certifications individuals may have.
Break-Even PointBased on the investment estimate above, the following are the revenue levels at which you would start to gain a return on your investment. The chart below illustrates gross revenue from the resale of hardware at an average 5% margin or services revenue at an average 20% margin.
Training & Exam Investment by RoleWhen you renew your specialization you may incur only exam costs.
NOTE: Although training courses are recommended to improve the probability that you pass your exams, you are required only to pass exams to achieve specialization. Therefore, your cost and time investment may be less than stated above, leading to a faster return on investment. |
