   1. Dedicated team and employee certification
      • Number of pre-sales solution experts

        The experts must earn the intermediate certification for business direction and obtain the HCIP or HCCDP certificate. At least one of them must have the HCIE or HCCDE certificate.

        The intermediate certification for business direction refers to Huawei Cloud Business Professional (HCBP).

        The HCIP or HCCDP certificate refers to the HCIP-Cloud Service Solutions Architect or HCCDP-Solution Architectures certificate.

        The HCIE or HCCDE certificate refers to the HCIE-Cloud Service Solutions Architect or HCCDE-Solution Architectures certificate.

      • Certificates of a partner's employees can be shared with the partner only after the HUAWEI IDs of the employees have been associated with the partner administrator account. For details, see How Do I Bind an Individual Certificate to a Partner Account?
   2. Competency building
      • The competency building includes joint offering building and competency certification. In the competency differentiation phase, partners are required to obtain at least two competency badges.
      • Joint offering: Partners can request role validation once a Huawei Cloud baseline solution successfully completes the OBP project initiation or a joint operations product is approved through the product selection decision-making process. During identity verification, the baseline solution or joint operations product must have been released. The certification assessment can consider common products available on the International and European websites.
      • The preferred directions for SI partner competency certification include digital transformation consulting and planning, public cloud continuous operations, cloud migration planning and implementation, public cloud O&M, HCS O&M, data management and analysis, database, big data, and AI platform service.

4. Click Certification Application after meeting the competency differentiation requirements. In the displayed dialog box, upload required materials and submit them.
