Calix Certification validates your Calix expertise. When you become Calix Certified, you're demonstrating
that you not only understand Calix solutions, but also can apply your knowledge by configuring and troubleshooting real networks.
A Calix Certified technician is better prepared to turn-up, maintain, and troubleshoot Calix products and access networks.
Calix Certification requires you to go beyond traditional technical training. You must validate your knowledge
by completing in-depth tests and performing specific skill assessment tasks in the Calix Certification Lab in Petaluma, CA.

Each certification requires you to pass a certification test.
The certification test includes an online written test and a hands-on practical test. The written test assesses your product knowledge.
