Specialization Levels
There are three levels of Specialization; Express, Advanced, and Master; which are required to achieve the partner certifications and reflect a partner´s technology skills depth.
Express: Cisco has replaced the Express Specializations to enable partners to learn, engage, and open new technologies. Now there is a single Express Specialization with multiple tracks.
Advanced: Cisco has reduced the total number of mid-tier advanced specializations from 13 to 6. These specializations allow partners to differentiate and stand out in a crowded market.
