• How can I get more information about the PQFORCE Partner Program?

  Please contact us via the inquiry form. When doing so, select the appropriate option under "How can we help you?". We will then be happy to arrange a meeting to answer your questions.

• Are there any costs for me as a PQFORCE partner?

  No. You receive free training from us, which you complete with a certificate. You pay only with the time you spend for this training and the partnership in principle. You conclude a partnership agreement with us, which regulates all details. After the certification you will be able to support PQFORCE customers as a service provider and thus expand your business. Thus, with a PQFORCE partnership you gain much more than it costs you.

• What if there are no training courses available right now or the dates listed don't suit me?

  We continuously offer new training courses for interested partner companies. Simply contact us so that we can inform you in good time when new course dates become known. You may also be able to register at short notice, as long as places are still available.

• Can anyone become a PQFORCE partner? What are the requirements?

  Basically, we train companies as PQFORCE partners, not individuals. However, the company naturally names individual employees who then attend our training courses and receive a certificate as a person in the respective role. Through the certification of the employees, the company is then also certified.

  However, not every company is suitable for certification. We attach importance to companies that already have many years of consulting experience in the project business and also have a high affinity for IT. Furthermore, we are primarily looking for companies in German-speaking countries, as we conduct the training courses in German. Also an on-site presence is required, the courses do not take place online.

  We will check the suitability for certification in initial discussions with you. Simply contact us to arrange a meeting.

• Can I also acquire several partner roles? Maybe even in the same course?

  Yes, this is possible. The different partner roles require the participation in different training modules. Module 1, for example, is already sufficient for the role of "Sales Partner", but together with modules 2 and 3 it is also a prerequisite for the role of "Consulting Partner". Thus, by participating in these three modules, you can also obtain both certificates at the same time. However, you can also attend only module 1 at a first course and be certified as a "Sales Partner", in order to then catch up on modules 2 and 3 at a later point in time at another course.

• Does the role of "Sales Partner" make me a PQFORCE salesperson?

  You decide that for yourself. We do not oblige you to do so under any circumstances. The role "Sales Partner" is rather meant as a sales support. Thanks to your network in the consulting business, you help us find interested customers by introducing them to PQFORCE and its added values. We then take over the actual sales process. But you will profit in case of a contract conclusion with the customer. And possibly even doubly: on the one hand, because you receive a commission through the contact referral, and on the other hand, because as a "consulting partner" you can then also look after the new customer straight away, thereby providing services for system implementation and support.

• Is such a short training at all sufficient to support customers with services around the platform as a PQFORCE partner?

  We want to keep the entry hurdle for new partners low and enable a quick start with a short but intensive basic training. But it goes without saying that participation in the course alone is not enough. We expect our partners to deal with the PQFORCE platform independently and regularly and to continue their own training. For this purpose, we provide appropriate online documentation and provide each partner company with an exclusive demo system (Enterprise Edition) free of charge.

  We will also offer training courses from time to time and invite partners to participate to refresh their knowledge and learn about the latest PQFORCE features and enhancements. This is part of the partnership agreement that we sign with each partner and captures the spirit of a good partnership.
