Benefits of becoming a Cloud United (CU) Recognized Training Provider:

• You are listed on the CU United website and have the option to have a profile on the Brightest website, with the ability to upload your CU courses with your own registration links

• You receive marketing materials and the ability to use the CU logo in association with your courses

• You are among the first to receive updates

• You are recommended to clients who request training directly from CU in your area

​

There are 3 main steps to becoming a CU Recognized Training Provider:

1. Trainers are CU Certified for the course you wish to get recognized for

2. You confirm that your training materials cover the CU syllabus you wish to get recognized for

3. You sign an Agreement with CU United and pay the recognition fee. ​

​​

Step 1: (Trainers) 

A qualification form shall be filled out by each trainer that the training provider wishes to have recognized. All trainers must be CU certified before they can administer an Cloud United course. Train-The-Trainer courses are available for trainers who feel they need a little more support in the area. 

​

Step 2: (Materials)

There are official CU Materials that can be licensed directly from CU via Brightest. However, CU training providers are not required to use these official materials to offer CU courses. If you confirm that you have materials, which encompass the full syllabus of the Cloud Computing Quality Practitioner (CCQP) course, you can use these as well. Cloud United will run some quality checks and if the pass rates of a trainer’s students are less than average, the trainer may be required to attend a Train-The-Trainer session with a Cloud United Master Trainer. 

The official CU Training Materials include:

• Training Slides in a printable and presentable format.

• A full additional 40-question mock exam - built exactly in the format of the official exam with completely different questions. The answers and explanations are included separately, so the trainer can discuss them with the students in an interactive way.

• All required practical hands-on exercises.

• Trainer Notes and Set-up guide

​

Step 3: (Agreement & Payment)
Cloud United has a standards agreement which shall be signed by any party wishing to offer CU United courses. 

The cost of being a recognized CU Training Provider is:

• 500€ per year

• 900€ for 2 years

• 1,200€ for 3 years
