PRODUCT VS. PLATFORM CERTIFICATION - WHICH DO I NEED?
Motorola’s PartnerSelect Platform Certification requires Partners to demonstrate competency across multiple mobility platforms. A key requirement is the completion of multiple, individual competency assessments by each partner, the quantity of which depends on the Partner’s membership level. The required number of Sales and Technical certifications is defined by the membership-level of the Channel Program.
Certification for Motorola products and services is exam-based. In order to attain either sales or technical certification on a platform, a student must take and pass the required exams (assessments) associated with the platform.
In order to buy/sell certain Motorola products, it is a requirement to have a sound knowledge base to communicate what the product can do and how it can fit into an overall solution from Motorola. Each product has its own requirements on how many technical and sales people are certified from each company, in order for that company to buy and sell the product.
If you are looking to become a Motorola Partner and enhance or maintain your company's overall PartnerSelect status level, you are looking for the Platform Certifications (ADC, MCD, MSD, RFID, WLAN, WWAN). Depending on if you are a Sales or Technical user, you should take the appropriate certification.
If you are looking to buy/sell a specific Motorola product which is restricted based on certification status, you are looking for Product Certification. Please check what is required of your company in order to buy/sell this specific product.
