Q: What is the renewal policy for Specializations?
A: A specialization is valid for one year. Partners are required to renew their Specialization annually on the date it was issued, at the latest. The requirements for a specialization program can change within the validity period. Various communications are used to announce these changes. It is recommended that Partners consult with their Channel Account Managers and frequently visit the Specialization web site to stay current on any change. Partners who do not comply by the renewal date (anniversary date) will be deemed ineligible to claim that Specialization and will lose any certification points associated with it. Any references on the Partner Locator related to that Specialization will be removed.
