I was not aware of this program from Juniper (only partners), but after know about it and decided to grab it! The benefit is understanding deeply about Juniper and his products, also become a member of Juniper Elite, meet Juniper SEs, attend JuniperU: Tech Summits, Beta exams, exam vouchers, an Open Lab, and much more…and off course recognized by Networking Folks and friends. If you are a Systems Engineer (or another mysterious “title”) and work closely (even not!) with customers is your job know how you can help them!
The Juniper Partner Training give everything you need such a Courseware, Student guides, Practise Exams for free. No extra cost for your Employer or for you! So why not make yourself an expert step up your career?
So, go to the Juniper Partner Training website and check the Juniper Champion Program. Well if you don´t have access ask you Employer to give you it!
What are the Champion Levels?
If you have an active JNCIP-SP, JNCIP-ENT, or JNCIP-SEC will be manually granted the Champion Aspiring level. Don´t forget to read the Champion Program Policies!
