TP-Link India, a subsidiary of the US-based TP-Link Systems Inc., has announced the launch of its new certification initiative, the Omada Expert Program. The program is specifically directed toward system integrators, managed service providers (MSPs), and partner engineers, with the primary objective of enhancing their enterprise networking capabilities.
According to the company, the initiative aims to help partners shift from primarily hardware-led offerings to comprehensive, solution-driven enterprise networking engagements. The inaugural batch of the program officially commenced on April 24.
Program Structure and Curriculum
The Omada Expert Program is designed as a 12-week, end-to-end learning track. Participants are guided through a structured pipeline that includes an initial application and selection phase, followed by targeted training, formal assessments, and final certification.
The technical curriculum is divided into two main phases:
- Online Learning: A five-week remote learning module covering switching fundamentals, advanced switching, routing, and wireless networking.
- Hands-on Lab Training: Practical, real-world deployment exercises conducted at TP-Link branch offices to reinforce the theoretical concepts.
To complete the program, participants must pass both an online theoretical examination and a practical hands-on assessment.
Partner Benefits and Business Value
Beyond formal certification, the Omada Expert Program is structured to provide participants with ongoing operational and marketing support. Graduates of the program will receive:
- Formal recognition and brand endorsement
- Access to TP-Link’s latest technical resources and product trials
- Marketing support
- Opportunities for project collaboration and specialized incentives
