Accreditation Levels Mitel Certified Expert (MCE) Mitel Certified Specialist (MCS) Mitel Certified Professional (MCP) Mitel Certified Associate (MCA)

Accreditation Levels - Definitions Mitel Certified Expert (MCE) Technical expert on a particular product undertaking a senior technical support role and typically involved in highly complex installations and/or proof of concepts and/or performing the role of problem or fault/incident manager (including major incidents) in partnership with Mitel Product Support. Will also manage faults/incidents where a Design Problem Activity Request (DPAR) or Design Change Requests (DCR) is raised. Assist MCS Engineers in the development and delivery of technical workshops. Mitel Certified Specialist (MCS) Technical specialist on a particular product(s) and will typically conduct complex, networked installations and pre-sales support activities. Will also perform complex software upgrades and be a recognised Technical Prime and therefore be actively involved in major incidents. In either a field or remote role, will resolve & manage escalated faults/incidents and typically follow actions plans under advice from a MCE Engineer (or Mitel Product Support). Escalate to MCE Engineer leading to the raising & managing of both Design Problem Activity Request (DPAR) and Design Change Requests (DCRs). Work with MCE Engineer to develop & deliver technical workshops along with the assessment & coaching of engineers. Mitel Certified Professional (MCP) Technically competent on a particular product and typically conducts routine standalone & networked installations in addition to software upgrades & MAC. In either a field or remote role, will resolve day-to-day faults/incidents and typically follow actions plans under advice from a MCS Engineer.

Differences highlighted in Competencies

Objectives of the Program To be an integral part of Mitel authorizedPARTNER Program To promote engineer competency through recognised accreditation Improved engineer skills and knowledge (defined standards) Improved installation & maintenance capability (diagnostics & upgrades) Defined career pathways Reflect & consider the diversity of over 400 Mitel channel partners in EMEA region (small, medium & large). Performance management Drive continuous development & learning Support Management can identify performance areas and easily formulate improvement plans (engineer capability) Recruitment & retention of engineers Recognition of technical expertise Support channel new business opportunities Responses to RFPs - demonstrate engineer capability (differentiation)

Accreditation - Design Considerations Engineering Accreditation aligned to Mitel authorizedPARTNER Program Region 1 (UK & Holland) Contents of the Program (3 elements) 1) Existing I&Ms (self-study and leader-led) Robust exams/tests 2) Competency standards by product 3) Workshops with online tests Content influenced by Competency Development Teams consisting of:- Mitel Trainer Prime Mitel Technical Accounts Managers Mitel Pre Sales & Technical Consultants Mitel Field 1st & 2nd Line CMC 2nd & 3rd Line Mitel Channels

Accreditation - Design Considerations Competency Specialisms 1. Communications 2. Mobile 3. Unified Communications & Collaboration 4. Contact Centre 5. Virtual 6. Managed Service Pre Sales (*) NOT to be confused with the Mitel Technical Accreditation Program (TAP which is NA based)

Accreditation - Design Considerations Based on existing leader-led & self-study courses + new workshops at Specialist level Integration based on how Mitel products interact with other products e.g Microsoft Windows & Exchange on UC products or Advanced LAN/WAN No appreciable increase in costs to channels (price of additional workshops attractive to channels) Requires engineers to assess against technical competencies with accompanying Personal Development Plan (PDP) Competencies will focus on out-puts “What the engineer can do” (underpinning knowledge or clarifying questions included) Requires channels to ‘verify’ engineer competency & ‘approve’ competency levels for certification More robust testing Designed for use in Remedy when raising tickets with Product Support Narrative to describe each Accreditation Map

Accreditation - Design Considerations Easier for engineers to find information Road Maps to include narrative description of the accreditation Specialism Registration for Certification Programs via Saba - same as Sales Professional Documents via MOL/Training: - MEAS Policy FAQ Competency Assessment Guide Power-point presentation of MEAS Saba to have everything associated with an Competency Specialism linked together e.g MCA Communications (SEE NEXT SLIDE). Until further notice, ‘policing’ this will be by existing processes Other Mitel courses to consider in new workshops at MCP & MCS levels Windows & Exchange for Mitel Applications Advanced LAN/WAN & Networking

Accreditation - Time-scales Time-scales (subject to confirmation) June 2011 (initial communication) June 2011 (MOL updated - replace “Product Learning Maps” Channels given ‘reasonable’ time to meet accreditation standards
