CTP Certification Program  Convergence Technologies Professional (CTP)  New set of skills required to sell, install and support convergence technologies  Skills set in convergence application and implementation  Validation of core vendor-neutral knowledge and skills  Foundation training for vendor-specific certification  Industry-Built Exam Objectives  Leading telecom trade association’s certification program  Telecommunications Industry Association (TIA)  Industry leaders determined exam objectives  Avaya, Cisco, First Telecom, IBM, Inter-Tel, Iwatsu, Mitel, Siemens

"IBM got involved in the development of TIA's CTP certification because we feel that this common, industry-wide, vendor-neutral standard for entry-level skills better prepares IT professionals, including those at IBM, for advising on and working with convergence solutions. CTP will be a valued benchmark for IBM's training programs, both employee and customer focused, in the convergence space." Karen Kocher WW Content Offering Executive, IBM

CTP Target Market  Equipment Manufacturers  Companies that design, build and support data and telecommunications equipment  Channel Partners  Companies that sell, design, install and support data and telecommunications technology solutions  Individuals  Technicians and Sales Professionals whose jobs require hands-on application and implementation skills for data and telecommunications solutions

“CTP certification allows Avaya to concentrate its resources on product and applications-specific training rather than on base-line training by combining all vendor-neutral convergence concepts into one program.” Mark Sinnott Director, Avaya Global Certification
