Maintaining your benefits
Epic Games has introduced a bronze, silver and gold classification structure for partners. There are several requirements that all partners must meet to maintain their authorization and status rating.
In general, higher the tier, the more invested the partner should be in the Epic Games ecosystem: sharing exemplary learning content, employing superior product knowledge, and delivering unrivaled, corresponding customer support.
Partners that consistently demonstrate high engagement with the Epic Games ecosystem and community may be eligible to level up to the next status tier during their annual audit and review. Have questions about the criteria, benefits, or leveling up? Please contact the Education Partner team.
