To register, log in to APN Partner Central and access the Training portal via the link at the top of the home page.

Public references are commonly noted as one of the top APN elements that AWS customers look to when selecting an APN Partner.

References not only enhance your visibility with customers, they can prepare your organization to apply for APN Programs such as the AWS Competency Program.
