New Partner Programme

Vodafone UK accredited more than 100 partners in the first phase of its new enterprise Partner Programme, which it launched on January 1. For the first time, partners can achieve Vodafone certification across the Vodafone’s portfolio of fixed, mobile, converged and cloud technologies

The new programme recognises partners with four new status categories: As well as the Total Communications level, there are Advanced, Specialist, and Approved tiers. The company says it will provide partners with online training resources as well as expanded access to specialist sector and technology expertise across Vodafone’s enterprise business.

To achieve accreditation, however, partners must pass “stringent assessment”, in line with new customer support criteria, as well as making “committed investment to skills and training”.
