Jenne Helps Resellers Remain Certified on Avaya IP Office Platform with Fast Track Courses, Exams

March 22, 2012 - PRLog -- Avon, OH – March 21, 2012: Jenne, Inc., a leading value-added distributor of IP telephony, audio and video conferencing, unified communications, data networking and IT security products, announced that it is offering a new Fast Track training course and authorized testing designed to help Avaya Business Partners attain or renew their Avaya Certified Implementation Specialist – Small and Medium Enterprise Communications (ACIS-SMEC) certification on the Avaya IP Office platform.

Through its award-winning Jenne University, Jenne is offering two easy ways Business Partners can attain or renew their ACIS-SMEC certification: First, through its partnership with Avaya exclusive testing center Pearson VUE, Jenne is offering the required ACIS exam on the last day of its five-day Avaya IP Office Professional Certification Implementation Workshop — which is designed for new reseller customers or customers requiring additional personnel to be trained. Second, for resellers who already attended the mandatory five-day course but need to renew certification, Jenne is offering a two-day ACIS Fast Track course, with the opportunity to take the required exam on the second day.

“We are committed to helping our resellers remain competitive with leading communication solutions from Avaya,” commented Jim Karaffa, director training and technical services, Jenne. “Our new Avaya course offerings, including the testing capabilities we are able to offer through our relationship with Pearson VUE, are unique in distribution. By offering the Pearson VUE testing at the conclusion of each course, we are able to increase student passage rates since there is no time lapse between the course and testing phases.”
