Fast Lane Named 2026 Authorized Learning Partner of the Year
Fast Lane Recognized for Second Consecutive Year in Splunk Partner Awards
RALEIGH, N.C. – October 2, 2026 – Fast Lane North America today announced that it has been named the 2026 Authorized Learning Partner of the Year for the Americas by Splunk, a Cisco company. Fast Lane received the recognition during Splunk’s .conf26 event. This marks Fast Lane’s second consecutive year receiving this recognition, following its 2025 Authorized Learning Partner of the Year Award.
Fast Lane was recognized for delivering Splunk training to more learners across its authorized countries than any other Authorized Learning Partner in the Americas region. The award reflects Fast Lane’s commitment to helping customers and partners build critical Splunk skills, maximize their technology investments, and turn learning into meaningful business outcomes.
As highlighted in Splunk’s official announcement recognizing its 2026 Authorized Learning Partners of the Year, Splunk’s Authorized Learning Partner program extends the reach of Splunk Education through certified instructors, localized expertise, and flexible delivery options. These programs help learners develop in-demand data and security skills while increasing confidence, adoption, and return on investment.
“This award is about our people,” said Louie Tran, SVP of Strategic Partnerships at Fast Lane North America. “Our instructors and account teams work hard to make sure learners leave ready to do the job, not just pass an exam, and I'm proud of every one of them. I also want to thank our partners and clients for trusting us with their teams.”
“Splunk sits right where data, security, and observability meet, and AI is quickly becoming a big part of that too. Companies invest in the platform for what it can do, but they only see that value when their people know how to use it, and that's where training makes the difference. With Splunk and Cisco coming together and partners moving to the Cisco 360 Partner Program, the skills piece matters more than ever, and we're excited to keep building on this.”
The Splunk Partner Awards, presented during .conf26, recognize partners that create meaningful impact, drive innovation, and help customers succeed. Through the Authorized Learning Partner program, Fast Lane supports organizations with Splunk-developed learning delivered by certified instructors—enabling teams to build skills, reduce reliance on support, and realize greater value from their Splunk environments.
