“Our engineers definitely appreciate and enjoy the Sophos certification classes. It allows them to become better engineers and we can see how training has elevated client interactions.”

Scott Larson, CEO, Technology by Design

Sophos training and certifications not only help you climb the partner program ladder, they provide you and your staff with in-depth sales and product knowledge. Technical staff becomes proficient to assist clients, and to cut down the time to resolve issues. Because certified staff gains an understanding of how all Sophos endpoint and network products work together as an integrated platform, salespeople are better equipped to recommend the solutions that are right for the client’s environment and emerge as better advisors to their clients.

On top of that, certification knowledge is a level of expertise that enhances your resumé and that you can take with you wherever you work. With a Sophos certification, you’ll join an elite group of specialists and demonstrate your expertise and value to employers – plus get the most out of your Sophos products.
