_________________
Based on your goals and objectives, you can use our services, just to learn, or just to get certified or both.
The introduction course, which is free of charge at this point (not sure how long we’ll offer this valuable course free of charge), allows you to learn the fundamentals of MEDDIC and MEDDPICC® for free and decide whether you want to learn further, how to apply MEDDIC in practice and take the full course.
For most courses, like the Full MEDDPICC, the Advanced MEDDPICC or MEDDPICC for Managers, as it is customary in the eLearning industry, the certificate of completion is automatically generated when the user completes the course. However in the case of MEDDPICC® for trainers, certificates are only awarded after successful completion of the MEDDPICC® and MEDDIC Certified™ exam, which includes a one-hour, time-based written exam, followed by an oral exam. Thus, the trainers’ certification requires both a written exam and an oral validation of real-world application, ensuring that learners can apply MEDDPICC® to live opportunities.
Individual certifications start at $297. Check the pricing here. Enterprise pricing varies by participants and add-ons. Contact us for Enterprise pricing details.

Certified MEDDIC & MEDDPICC® trainers gain recognition that they are skilled to train on MEDDIC & MEDDPICC®.
No. First off, our course content is protected by copyright and can’t be downloaded. Moreover learning MEDDIC and MEDDPICC through a lectured course is not enough. If you really believe that a sales team can acquire sales skills by lecturing them some slides, then the less expensive way is to buy them each a copy of the most popular book of MEDDIC & MEDDPICC, for less than $10.
But if you pass the exams and get certified as a trainer, you are a valuable asset for your company to customize the MEDDIC framework after your employees learn the theory at MEDDIC Academy. Let us explain:
A successful MEDDIC training program is composed of several steps:
1 – The Foundation course / Lecture /eLearning : This is the same for all users, no matter what they sell. This is only the beginning.
2 – The Live workshop : Customize MEDDIC/MEDDPICC to a company’s products & services. Define the specific questions to ask in discovery. List the KPIs that drive the customer’s pain points. Collect existing customer Metrics, etc. Create the MEDDIC Playbook. Create the Sales Process with exit criteria and POV criteria.
3 – Coaching: Deal inspection and opportunity review. Practice the use of the MEDDPICC app.
4 – More Coaching; Role plays practice
For step #1, you are expected to send your sellers to MEDDIC Academy to take our Full MEDDPICC or our Advanced MEDDPICC courses . For steps 2, 3 and 4, you can perfectly deliver the program, once certified. We help you and support you in those steps.
We usually train everyone in a cohort with a common core curriculum for AEs, AMs, SEs, CSMs, and add-ons for the managers and trainers. For larger global teams we define several cohorts; as many as needed. The managers and the trainers watch us delivering the first few workshops (step 2 above) and coaching sessions (step 3 above) and take over for other cohorts or for future hirings if there is one cohort. They are the ongoing internal coach to complete the playbook and the implementation. The foundation course is always delivered by our solid, proven platform at MEDDIC Academy, while the live workshops and the ongoing coaching can be done by certified trainers and trained managers.
You send them to us for the eLearning (step 1) and the trained managers /trainers train them on the customized framework. (steps 2,3,4)
Under certain conditions, yes. First, after becoming a certified trainer (testimony of your knowledge and skills), you need to become a licensed partner trainer (an easy quick branding and trademark agreement on how to market your services). Then, just like for the internal trainers explained above, you will partner with us for step 1 (eLearning) and have your learners use MEDDIC Academy (and receive compensation), while you focus on the steps 2, 3 and 4 to train external learners freely with no royalties to pay us. You are also free to set your prices for the steps 2, 3 and 4.
No. Trainer certifications are valid for life.
Certified trainers receive updated workshop materials, best practices advice, exercises, and ongoing support from MEDDIC Academy experts.
