Channel Team & Partner Training
The Channel Institute provides structured, assessed training and certification for channel professionals across the first fifteen years of a channel career. For companies, that means everyone who works with partners, from channel account managers to partner marketers, learns one set of terminology, frameworks and templates.
Courses are 100% online and self-paced, so a team spread across several countries can certify together without travel or time out of the field. Each course ends in an assessed exam, and the curriculum is reviewed by our Industry Advisory Council of channel leaders. Companies and individuals enrol directly, with no membership required.

How does team training work?
Courses are 100% online and self-paced, so a team spread across different countries and time zones can study without travel or time out of the field. Each course ends in an assessed exam with a pass mark of 70%, and successful students receive a Channel Institute certificate. Many companies add live sessions to the online course, such as a kick-off webinar, a Q&A with the instructor or mentoring for team leads. Hardy Process Solutions trained its North American channel team this way.
Who is it for?
Vendor and manufacturer channel teams of any size, from a single new channel manager to a global team. Hexagon certified more than a dozen channel professionals across its HxGN EAM channel team. Individuals can also enrol themselves, and no membership is required.
