Membership Ordering and Instructor Kit Access

This section describes the process and guidelines for ordering the annual Instructor Kit Membership from Cisco. For more information on the membership models please go to CLN store and review the presentation and FAQ’s. You will find the information on the left navigation of the CLN store under “support.”

Steps to Order the Annual Membership for Instructor Kits

Make sure that the instructor has updated his or her Cisco.com ID in the Cisco Certification Tracking System ( Further, if the instructor email address or other information has changed, the instructor should go to and click Register in the top navigation area, Click “Accounts” to update the profile with the new email address or other information. If the information is not correct or missing, the purchase might not be completed or the instructor might not get the message to download the Instructor Kits. (See below- Step 1: Pre Order preparation)
Go to the Cisco Learning Network Store and begin ordering by choosing the Instructor Kits Base or Premium membership located in the left navigation area. If you do not see the Instructor Kit membership buy now button then it is possible your Cisco.com ID in the certification tracking system and email address or the information in LPMS is inaccurate or missing. Instructor should check with their LP admin to ensure that the information is correct in LPMS. If you are still having difficulty, contact Certification & Communities Online Support. (See below - Step 2: Ordering Membership- Base/Premium)

Use a credit card or PayPal to purchase the membership for one or more of your instructors. Purchase order and wire transfer payments are discouraged because the Instructor Kits are not released until payment is made. Additionally, there is a US $35 nonrefundable fee for wire transfer payment for each order.
When the payment transaction is complete, the LP admin and the instructor will receive a confirmation email and an email to download the digital rights management (DRM) for getting access to the Instructor Kits.

The instructor gains access to the Instructor Kits in the membership after the membership payment has been made and the instructor has clicked to accept the CCSI agreement. Accepting the CCSI Agreement is mandatory in order to deliver any Cisco training. If the CCSI Agreement is not agreed to within 14 days of the purchase date, the CCSI access will be revoked and the status will be terminated.
For the initial membership, the Instructor will have 60 days to complete payment. For annual renewals, the instructor will have a 60-day grace period to complete payment. Cisco will send reminders before the expiration date. However, the Instructor is responsible for purchasing new memberships before the grace period expires. If payment has not been made by then, the membership expires and the Instructor Kits are deactivated. The instructor will no longer have access to teach the classes.

Pre Order preparation

Log into Certification Tracking System

Merge your CCO Id (Cisco.com id) to yourCertification Tracking System profile in oneof two ways.

CCO ID is automatically pulled into CCSI profile (using CSCO# as the key/lookup field) from Cert Tracking System profile. No action by Learning Partner is required.

NOTE: It takes up to 24- 48 hours from the time one merges their CCO id to their Certification Tracking profile for their CCO ID to get pushed to the CLN Store so ordering membership immediately after merging will result in error.
