Huawei will strengthen its cooperation with partners to deliver high-value certification and training service to help develop the ICT talents needed by the industry."
The rapidly growing ICT industry has set high requirements on the knowledge and skills of ICT professionals, who are expected to possess integrated knowledge and multidisciplinary skills. According to official data from Huawei, more than 300,000 people have received ICT training from Huawei and its training partners around the world. After passing the corresponding certification exams, trainees will receive all kinds of Huawei certificates, including Huawei Certified Network Associate (HCNA), Huawei Certified Network Professional (HCNP), and Huawei Certified Internetwork Expert (HCIE).

Huawei Authorized Learning Partners (HALPs) have played an inseparable role in the rapid growth of Huawei's certification service. Huawei has 260 HALPs around the world who deliver localized training service that caters to the needs of local markets and helps Huawei's local channel partners build up their technical abilities.
Looking ahead, Huawei will provide more training courses that match the technological development trends of the ICT industry and build a more open ICT certification system.
