Whether you're looking to get recertified, explore new technical capabilities or enhance your sales expertise, our expanded course offerings will help you stay ahead in the rapidly changing cybersecurity and data protection landscape. ## Recertification courses for 2025 If you completed a course in 2024 or earlier, we now offer recertification courses to ensure you stay up to date with the latest product developments. The [recertification process](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=17nj3DAAEGY) is designed to be more efficient, enabling you to refresh your knowledge and maintain your certifications without having to start from scratch. Check out the [full list of sales and technical courses](https://partners.acronis.training/pages/64/acronis-recertification-courses) available for you this year! ## Simplified learning pathways To make it easier for partners to qualify for certification training, we've introduced a streamlined learning pathway within the Acronis Partner Program. The journey now begins with the **Intro to Acronis** course (formerly known as the Fundamentals course), followed by core courses on **backup, disaster recovery, PSA, security and Microsoft 365**. These foundational courses are essential for both technical and sales professionals, covering key use cases, demos and technical overviews. From there, learners can choose between two specialized paths: * **Sales path** – Focused on objection handling, qualifying questions, case studies and effective selling strategies. * **Technical path** – Deep dives into advanced features, including backup, disaster recovery, security management, and cutting-edge topics such as **EDR, XDR and MDR**. [Video 1](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=17nj3DAAEGY) ## Professional-level courses for 2025 This year, we are expanding our **professional-level courses** to offer even deeper expertise. The Sales Professional track covers practical selling strategies for backup, disaster recovery, and professional services, while the Technical Professional track offers in-depth training on advanced security solutions. If you're looking to gain a competitive edge in cybersecurity, these courses are a must. ## Certification requirements for 2025 Our Partner Program still requires partners to maintain a specific number of certifications: * **Gold partners** need at least **two employees** with four completed courses each. * **Platinum partners** need at least **four employees** with four completed courses each. Many partners go beyond the minimum — some individuals have completed up to **20 certifications**, making them extraordinarily well-prepared for business growth and customer success! ## New learning paths for first-time learners For **first-time learners**, we recommend starting with the **Intro to Acronis** course, followed by a foundational course in backup, disaster recovery, Microsoft 365 or security. From there, you can advance to our **Sales Pro courses** to sharpen your selling strategies or move into deeper technical training with our **Tech Pro courses,** covering topics like security awareness, Microsoft 365 posture management and more. Returning learners can quickly **get recertified** with short, focused update courses — typically **just 20 minutes long**. These will keep you informed on product updates and new features while ensuring compliance with the Partner Program.
