Authorized Training Center Program
Our Authorized Training Center (ATC) program helps resellers and training organizations become certified to teach F5's training curriculum. The program requires a minimum of two trainers certified in the courses you want to teach, as well as the combination purchase and/or rental of any materials and classroom equipment required.
Resellers that become Authorized Training Center partners can provide a "one-stop shop" for their customers, especially when training is combined with first- and second-level support. This full-circle approach strengthens the customer-reseller relationship, and it provides another stream of revenue from the F5 product family.
In a similar way, training organizations that operate F5 Authorized Training Centers can reap the financial benefits of teaching courses that are increasingly in demand in the industry. With a low cost of entry and rapid ROI, the ATC program makes good financial sense for companies that already provide training.
