I noticed these exams are required for partners to achieve the qualifications for the SMB Specialization, which is required for the Select Certified Partner designation: The Cisco SMB Specialization requires two roles: one account manager (AM) and one engineer (EN). The two required SMB Specialization exams are: 650-175 SMBAM: SMB Specialization for Account Managers 650-180 SMBEN: SMB Specialization for Engineers Has anyone taken these? Anyone a Select Partner able to offer thoughts on it?

They can give you access to the Cisco Partner Learning Center site where you will be able to view the training material online and then also take the exam online via VUE. Let me know if you have any other questions.

However, I've been freelancing lately and I'm thinking to myself "Ok, taking the AM and EN exams and doing the neccessary paperwork might be good -- and help me understand the product line better" Am I right, or is this a weird idea?
