Hi Caroline,   FYi below is the response for my application for CMNO course place from Meraki:   Hi Mick, Thank you for your interest in CMNO (Certified Meraki Network Operator) on Wednesday August, 01, 2018 9am BST. Unfortunately we are only offering spots in the program to a select group of Meraki resellers at this time. We'll be looking to open CMNO to our full reseller community in the future as the program continues to grow. You may also have been declined because you attended CMNA or work in a pre-sales role.  ...
