# The Claude partner directory: what the pages say about getting listed, and what a listing shows

This page on the Claude partner directory covers what its pages say about inclusion, the Service partners page on 10 November 2026, what a listing contains and what to ask.

Short answer

Who gets into the Claude partner directory is left open by the official pages Cred Farmer could read on 6 November 2026. Anthropic’s launch post says “Qualified partners will also be added to our Services Partner Directory” and does not define qualified. Its Marketplace post says join the network “to appear in the marketplace”. Its Service partners page, not shown to be that directory, grouped 17, 42 and 295 firms under three tiers on 10 November 2026, total 354, each card with a name and a tier.

Cred Farmer is independent and is not part of the [Claude Partner Network](https://credfarmer.com/blog/claude-partner-network) or an Anthropic source. The facts here come from the official pages named below, read on 6 November 2026, and Anthropic’s partner team, not this page, decides a firm’s standing.

Checked against the official sources on 6 November 2026 and again on 10 November 2026: Anthropic’s [launch post](https://www.anthropic.com/news/claude-partner-network), [Services Track announcement](https://www.anthropic.com/news/services-track-partner-hub), [Marketplace post](https://claude.com/blog/claude-marketplace) and [Frontier Academy post](https://www.anthropic.com/news/claude-frontier-academy). The check also covered Anthropic’s [partners](https://claude.com/partners), [Service partners](https://claude.com/marketplace/service-partners) and [application](https://claude.com/form/cpn-partner-application) pages. The sources also include Partner Academy’s [FAQ](https://anthropic-partners.skilljar.com/page/faq-certifications), [eligibility](https://anthropic-partners.skilljar.com/page/certification-eligibility) and certifications pages, and the [Certification Terms](https://everpath-course-content.s3-accelerate.amazonaws.com/instructor/34hhd92iyp94a0gtbr15cy5jk/public/1782870634/Certification+Terms+and+Conditions.pdf).

The Partner Hub directory and the form inside the application page returned HTTP 403, the Partner Portal needs a login, and no Program Guide or Partner Agreement was read.

## How do we get listed in the Partner Hub directory?

To get listed in the Partner Hub directory, the nearest step named on the official pages Cred Farmer could read is joining the Claude Partner Network. Anthropic’s Marketplace post of 23 September 2026 says join “to appear in the marketplace”, and that line and the Service partners page’s button both go to the application page.

That line says marketplace, not Hub. If your search was get listed Claude Partner Hub, Service partners firm cards link into the Hub directory, but no page read says joining brings a Hub listing.

Joining is not shown to be enough. Anthropic’s Frontier Academy post of 2 October 2026 says that in the network “professionals across 46,000 firms have earned more than 175,000 Claude certifications”. The Service partners page read 354 partners on 10 November 2026. On Cred Farmer’s reading, that page does not hold every firm with certified people, and no page read says what separates them.

Cred Farmer’s advice is four steps. None is official, and none promises a listing, a tier or a customer.

1

### Apply to join

The application page says your company “should” meet three conditions: see [how to join the Claude Partner Network](https://credfarmer.com/blog/join-the-claude-partner-network) and the [Claude certification eligibility guide](https://credfarmer.com/guides/claude-certification-eligibility). For a product, [the route differs](https://credfarmer.com/blog/claude-partner-network-services-track): the Marketplace post says “Apply to list it on the marketplace.”

2

### Read your own standing

Anthropic’s announcement says a firm can see what the next tier requires, refreshed daily in the [Claude Partner Hub](https://credfarmer.com/blog/claude-partner-hub). No page read ties that to a listing.

3

### Ask in writing

Ask whoever manages your firm’s Anthropic partnership, or partner-support@anthropic.com, which the eligibility page names for partner records. Ask what qualified means, whether your level is listed, who edits the text, and when a tier change shows.

4

### Look before you say it

Search the Service partners page for your firm’s name before telling a client it is listed.

## How does our company qualify for inclusion in the Claude services partner directory?

A company qualifies for the Claude services partner directory on a test that no official page Cred Farmer could read defines. Anthropic’s launch post of 12 March 2026 says “Qualified partners will also be added to our Services Partner Directory”. The Hub, application form, Program Guide and Partner Agreement were not read on 6 November.

Lines on who appears where, newest first:

- 23 September 2026, Marketplace post: “Join the Claude Partner Network to appear in the marketplace”. It names no tier.
- 3 June 2026, Services Track announcement: “Every partner’s standing” is visible in the Hub’s public directory.
- 12 March 2026, launch post: “Qualified partners” will be added, with qualified undefined.
- Undated, partners page: it describes “services partners who have successfully delivered Claude solutions for enterprise customers”. That is a description, not a stated test.

The application page’s “To qualify for the Claude Partner Network” is, on Cred Farmer’s reading, about joining. The announcement’s “can qualify early” is about the tier ladder. No page read says either is the directory’s test.

### “Qualified” is undefined on every page Cred Farmer could read

Cred Farmer’s advice is to plan without a listing until you can see your firm on the page.

## Claude partner directory: three names, not shown as one list

Anthropic’s pages use three names for lists of services firms: the Services Partner Directory, the Hub’s public directory and Service partners. No page read says they are one list. The partners page and the Service partners page both point into partnerhub.claude.com/directory, and a shared link does not show one list.

**Figure:** Three names. The Hub's public directory appears in the announcement as plain text, with no link. The Services Partner Directory links there from the partners page. Service partners links there from its firm cards. The address is partnerhub.claude.com/directory, which returned HTTP 403 on 6 November 2026

- Where the names lead
- The Hub’s public directory: Announcement: plain text, no link
- Services Partner Directory: Links there from the partners page
- Service partners: Firm cards link there
- partnerhub.claude.com/directory: HTTP 403 on 6 November 2026

Cred Farmer’s link reading. No page read says one list.

The partners page’s link goes through claude.com/partners/services, which redirected there on 6 November 2026. The launch post and the announcement link neither name.

The Claude Partner Hub directory returned HTTP 403 to Cred Farmer’s scripted browser on 6 November 2026, so whether it and the Service partners page hold the same firms could not be checked.

## What the Service partners page showed on 10 November 2026

Anthropic’s Service partners page grouped firms under three tier headings on 10 November 2026: 17 Global Premier, 42 Preferred and 295 Select. Those groups add up to 354, the page’s total, and Cred Farmer’s tally of its cards found a tier label on every one. On 6 November 2026 the groups read 16, 40 and 258 against 331, and 17 cards had none.

**Figure:** Six rows on one scale, 10 November 2026. Global Premier 17, Preferred 42, Select 295. The groups add up to 354, the page total is 354, and no card is without a tier label

- The page on 10 November 2026
- Global Premier 17
- Preferred 42
- Select 295
- Groups add up 354
- Page total 354
- No tier label 0

Page figures and Cred Farmer’s tally, one scale.

On 5 November 2026 Cred Farmer read the Hub directory itself and recorded 313 firms: 16 Global Premier, 40 Preferred and 257 Select. On 6 November 2026 it returned HTTP 403, so that reading could not be repeated. Treat it as one dated reading, not a rule.

## What a listing contains: a Service partners card and a Hub firm page

A firm’s card on Anthropic’s Service partners page shows its name, a tier label and usually a short description, and links to a firm page in the Hub directory. Anthropic’s announcement of 3 June 2026 says that directory shows a firm’s tier, certified team, customer deployments and public references. No firm page was read on 6 November.

| Item | Announcement 3 June 2026 | 23 first-load cards 6 November 2026 | Firm page 5 November 2026 Not repeatable |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Tier | Visible | Label on each | Shown |
| Certified team | Visible | Not on any | No certified headcount |
| [Customer deployments](https://credfarmer.com/blog/claude-partner-customer-deployments), public references | Visible | Not on any | Not recorded |
| Description | Not named | Short text | An About text |
| Services | Not named | A filter, Services Offered | Shown |
| Languages | Not named | No such filter | Shown |

The last column is Cred Farmer’s own reading of 5 November 2026. It could not be repeated, so it says nothing about a firm page today.

The Service partners page also has 12 filters, including Deployment Surface and Budget, so on Cred Farmer’s reading a listing holds more than its card shows. No page read says who writes a description, who sets those values or how a firm changes them.

That page offers “certified experts”. Certification Terms section 10(a) grants certification only to individuals, and 10(d) says a Partner will not state or imply that [the Partner itself is certified](https://credfarmer.com/blog/claude-partner-logo) without Anthropic’s written authorisation. How a line about your listing sits with those clauses is for your lawyer.

## A Registered firm and a listing: not established either way

A listing for a Registered firm is not established either way, as read on 6 November 2026. Anthropic’s Service partners page has no group or tier filter named Registered, every one of its 354 cards carried a tier on 10 November 2026, and its Marketplace post names no tier. The Hub directory could not be read, so that silence neither allows nor bars one.

Anthropic’s wording pulls both ways. Its announcement says “Partnership begins at Select” and “Every partner’s standing” is visible in the Hub’s public directory. Its FAQ says “Registered-tier partners”. No page read reconciles them: see [the Claude Partner Registered tier](https://credfarmer.com/blog/claude-partner-registered-tier).

On Cred Farmer’s reading, [a firm shown under a tier heading](https://credfarmer.com/blog/verify-a-claude-partner) holds that label that day. Anthropic’s Select line asks for at least 10 active certified individuals, 2 joint customers deployed in production in the trailing 12 months and 1 public customer story: see [the Claude Partner Select tier](https://credfarmer.com/blog/claude-partner-select-tier).

No page read says reaching Select brings a listing, or that a firm must reach it to have one. Anthropic’s announcement processes promotions on 1 January and 1 July, so the next is 1 January 2027: see [Claude partner tier review dates](https://credfarmer.com/blog/claude-partner-tier-review-dates).

Who counts towards that certified number is in [an active certified practitioner](https://credfarmer.com/blog/active-certified-practitioner) and [Claude partner email domain rules](https://credfarmer.com/blog/claude-partner-email-domain). [Claude Certified Developer - Foundations (CCDV-F)](https://credfarmer.com/certifications/claude-certified-developer-foundations), [Claude Certified Architect - Foundations (CCAR-F)](https://credfarmer.com/certifications/claude-certified-architect-foundations) and [Claude Certified Architect - Professional (CCAR-P)](https://credfarmer.com/certifications/claude-certified-architect-professional) count towards Claude Partner Network eligibility, Anthropic’s FAQ says. [Claude Certified Associate - Foundations (CCAO-F)](https://credfarmer.com/certifications/claude-certified-associate-foundations) does not. The [Claude certification cost guide](https://credfarmer.com/guides/claude-certification-cost) has the fees.

Anthropic’s certifications page says CCAO-F, CCDV-F and CCAR-P will include updated content from 7 December 2026, and that notice omits CCAR-F: see [Claude certification changes](https://credfarmer.com/blog/claude-certification-changes). A team lead has [the business case for certifying a team](https://credfarmer.com/blog/certifying-your-team-business-case), and an employee told to certify has [your employer requires Claude certification](https://credfarmer.com/blog/employer-requires-claude-certification).

- **A firm card on Anthropic’s Service partners page showed a name and a tier label on 10 November 2026, and all but one a description.**
- **A listing for a Registered firm is not established either way.**
- **Cred Farmer’s advice is to ask in writing what qualified means, and to plan without a listing until you can see one.**

## Frequently asked

**Does a Claude partner listing show how many certified people a firm has?**

Anthropic’s announcement of 3 June 2026 says a firm’s certified team is visible in the Hub’s public directory. The 23 first-load Service partners cards showed no such number on 6 and 10 November 2026, and a few other cards print a firm’s own. A firm page read on 5 November showed no certified headcount, a reading that could not be repeated.

**Does a Claude partner listing cost anything?**

No official page Cred Farmer could read on 6 November 2026 prices a listing. Anthropic says “Getting started is free” and “Membership is free of charge”. Certification Terms section 10(f) says a Partner Agreement governs the commercial relationship, and no Partner Agreement was read.

**Will a Claude partner listing bring our firm customers?**

No official page Cred Farmer could read promises that. Anthropic’s launch post says enterprise buyers can find firms in its directory, and its Marketplace post says Claude customers “can find and connect with you”. Neither gives a number of leads.

**What if our firm is missing or wrong on the Service partners page?**

No official page Cred Farmer could read on 6 November 2026 tells a joined firm how to add or correct a listing. Cred Farmer’s advice is to ask whoever manages your firm’s Anthropic partnership, or partner-support@anthropic.com, which Anthropic’s eligibility page names for partner records.
