Cisco Black Belt Academy Aligned Courses
Black Belt Academy - The Simplified Role-based Enablement Framework
The Cisco Black Belt Academy is a simplified & uniform education framework that cuts across all Cisco architectures and latest solution releases. The Cisco Black Belt Academy helps enable Cisco partners to become proficient in selling, deploying, supporting and adopting Cisco’s latest technologies and software solutions. Fast Lane / Directions Training has aligned with the Cisco Black Belt Academy to provide credit for the training courses we provide in lieu of the eLearning content found on Sales Connect.
Cisco Black Belt Academy Aligned content is relevant to Stage 2-3 and provides credit for the aligned training you attend with Fast Lane / Directions Training. When you complete the Fast Lane / Directions Training Instructor Lead Training you will still have to pass the relevant requirements of each Stage in order to get your certificate of completion. In some cases you may still need to look at the relevant Learning Map on the Black Belt Academy to pass the Quiz questions as the Fast Lane / Directions Training training may not have covered all the content. The Black Belt team has made recommendation on which stages are recommended as prerequisites prior to attending the training provided by Fast Lane / Directions Training.
The Black Belt Academy program is available only to Cisco partners and distributors.
