Cisco Learning Credits FAQ – Cisco
What are Cisco Learning Credits?
Cisco Learning Credits (CLCs) are prepaid training vouchers redeemed directly with Cisco that make planning for your success easier when purchasing Cisco products and services. Each Cisco Learning Credit is equivalent to $100 USD, and can be used as a method of payment for Cisco training.
What are the benefits of Cisco Learning Credits?
Cisco Learning Credits make it easy to include training as part of the total solution when purchasing Cisco products and services. Cisco Learning Credits allow organizations to set aside budget for their training needs at the point of product/technology sale, but defer decisions related to the type of training, attendees and timeline.
Each CLC comes with a Learning Business Development Manager who serves as a complimentary resource helping customers redeem, determine training and create plans to ensure their success.
How can I get Cisco Learning Credits?
If you are able to purchase products or services directly from Cisco, you can purchase Learning Credits directly, or you can order them through a Cisco value-added reseller (VAR). Cisco Learning Credits may be purchased along with your product or service or as a stand-alone order, with part numbers and pricing on the Cisco Global Price List.

I work for an international company. Can I purchase Cisco Learning Credits in the United States and use them in another country?
Yes. Please reach out to your Learning BDM or the [email protected] alias for assistance.
What happened with CLCs in the past?
In August 2021, Cisco made a change regarding how customers could redeem CLCs. Since then, all CLC redemptions must occur with Cisco directly, as Cisco is the merchant of record. Learning Partners are still able to work with customers on their CLC redemption strategy and help customers use their CLCs for Cisco and Partner-delivered training, digital subscriptions, etc. Learning Partners play a key role in our customers’ redemption of CLCs.
How do we redeem our CLCs with our Learning Partners?
Partners help customers redeem CLCs by using Cisco tools intended for the purpose of customer CLC redemption.
These tools are used for instructor-led training or for Cisco digital subscriptions.
