Proving Milestone Channel Partner expertise

Each level of the Milestone Channel Partner Program requires a higher level of expertise in designing, installing, and configuring surveillance systems based on our VMS products. In order to guarantee our Channel Partners’ expertise, we have defined one design certification that demonstrates their ability to design a surveillance solution, and two technical certification levels that prove their installation and configuration abilities.

The certification levels are:

• Milestone Solution Design Engineer (MSDE)
• Milestone Certified Integration Technician (MCIT)
• Milestone Certified Integration Engineer (MCIE)

The Milestone Channel Partner Program incorporates a comprehensive training program designed to equip Milestone partners to effectively scope, design and implement Milestone-based video surveillance systems. Training courses are available on-line, in-person and on-site. Visit our Learning & Performance site for more information.
