No partner employer? The ways people are actually getting registered for Claude certs (I run one of them, disclosure below)

The rule, from the certification FAQ: certification is for people at Claude Partner Network organizations, and "registration requires a partner email address on a recognized company domain - personal email addresses will not work."

A lot of people want to study for these certifications and then can't book.

The routes I know of:

1. Check your employer. Many people's companies are already partners. If your work domain is rejected, email partner-support@anthropic.com.
2. Your own company joins the Partner Network. Anthropic says any organization bringing Claude to market is eligible and membership is free.
3. Paid membership programs. Some providers charge a membership fee to register you on their domain. Read their terms closely.
4. Intent Solutions Learn. Disclosure: I am part of Intent Solutions, a Claude Partner Network member. You can apply to Learn; accepted members may be registered through Intent Solutions. A person reviews every request and we accept people in small waves, so it's not immediate or guaranteed. No fee to join. Project work later is optional.

These don't change on any route: the exam, the fee, the ID check. The credential is yours; the FAQ recommends adding a personal email to your Credly profile so you keep it wherever you work.

This is for:

Happy to answer questions here. To be clear, there is no charge. If accepted you'll get an email address that will allow you to sign up and take the cert and then it is yours to keep. This is exactly what I did because I wasn't part of a partner.
