Cisco Learning Credits (CLCs)What Are They?
CLCs are pre-paid training dollars that are converted to units called "credits"

CLCs foster learning by making it a default part of every network solution
CLCs are ordered like a Cisco product or service
CLCs are valid for one year from date of activation
Credits are registered, redeemed and monitored in an online database called the Learning Credits Management Tool (LCMT)
