What is a "qualifying" student?

A qualifying student is an individual who operates as an employee of an existing cPanel Partner organization and currently maintains an active status on the cPanel Certified Partner Accreditation.

Suppose that the employee has met these certification qualifications. In that case, they are considered qualified. They will be included in the total number of that Partner organization's qualifying employees when calculating that Partner’s progress towards becoming - or achieving - cPanel Certified Partner status.

Non-Certified Partners:
Students who hold a valid, non-expired cPanel Certified Partner Accreditation certificate.

Currently Certified Partners:
Suppose the Partner is already a Certified Partner at the time of consideration. In that case, their students are classified as qualifying if they hold a cPanel Certified Partner Accreditation certification that expires after the Partner's re-certification date.
