Cisco, CLP's, CLSP's (solutions partner) and ILP's (internal learning partner). I don't know if there are any ILP's, but say -- for example, IBM wanted a bunch of in-house CCSI's to teach official Cisco course material. Of course, they would also have access to buy the instructor and student material for the official courses. If a company is spending greater than, say, a certain amount (ROI in BE, NPV, etc) on training, it might be beneficial to move into an ILP relationship with Cisco (of course, it's probably just as good to move into a full CLP or CLSP relationship, I don't know all the benefits/tradeoffs and Cisco doesn't have any information on even how to start a CLP business or anything about ILP's on their website). Also - to be a CLP, you might also be able to provide online learning only, in which case you could probably still have your employees get CCSI status, and never have them teach a classroom course (although I don't see the point unless you just want the designation for personal growth opportunities), thus avoiding expensive classrooms, facilities, and lab equipment.
