The Express Specialization consists of six tracks. You can achieve Express Specialization by completing any one
of these tracks:
● Collaboration Track
● Data Center Track
● Networking Track
● Security Track
● Service Provider Track
● SMB Track
Express Specialization uses a new flexible application process. Only one track is required, but multiple tracks may
be achieved at the same time. Only one Express Specialization will be awarded regardless of how many tracks are
achieved. Additional tracks may be achieved at any time, and they will not affect the anniversary date of your
Express Specialization.
