RSPA Certification

 *If you are a merchant, please visit RSPAcertified.com to find or rate an RSPA certified reseller.

The RSPA Certification Program, which began in 2009, identifies companies in the retail technology industry who provide exceptional levels of competence and performance in a professional manner.

Certification not only benefits the people and businesses who are RSPA Certified, but also benefits the industry as a whole. Certification offers assurance to the public. Merchants or other end-users know that when they purchase a product or service from an RSPA Certified reseller, they are entering into a relationship built on trust, integrity, and competency.

For individuals who wish to credential their professional skills, RSPA currently has three certificate programs: Support Specialist, Sales Specialist, and PCIwise. All PCIwise educational courses will be available to RSPA members and their customers.

Certification must be renewed annually, which allows RSPA to elevate performance standards and ensure that companies maintain acceptable performance standards. The fee for certification is $100. 

Steps to become a Certified Reseller:

Additional Premier Certification Criteria:

  • Each reseller location/branch must have 1 Comptia Network+ certified employee at a minimum.
  • 60% of Support personnel completed RSPA Support Specialist certification program. 
  • 60% of Sales personnel completed RSPA Sales Specialist certification program.
