Claude partners list: how many firms each tier shows on Anthropic's Service partners page

Who are the current Claude partners (list / directory)?

The nearest thing to a current list of Claude partners that Cred Farmer could read is Anthropic’s Service partners page, which printed 354 partners on 10 November 2026. Its first Global Premier cards were Accenture, Bain & Company, Boston Consulting Group, Capgemini, Cognizant and Deloitte. The other cards sit behind its Show all and View more controls.

Those are six of the 17 in that group. Anthropic’s article of 21 October 2026 says HCLTech “joins the Claude Partner Network as a Global Premier partner”, and HCLTech’s card on this page read Global Premier on 10 November 2026, after Select on 6 November. The cards run alphabetically, so Cred Farmer reads no ranking into a firm’s place.

From the tier groups, Cred Farmer names only those firms and does not reprint the page. To check one firm, its advice is to use the page’s Search partners field and read the tier on that firm’s card.

Another page is the Partner Hub’s directory. Anthropic’s announcement of 3 June 2026 says a partner’s standing is “visible in the Hub’s public directory”. At partnerhub.claude.com/directory it answered HTTP 403 to Cred Farmer’s scripted browser on 10 November 2026, so Cred Farmer cannot say what it showed a person that day. See the Claude Partner Hub for its public side and the Claude partner directory for getting listed.

A firm missing from those tier groups is not shown to be outside the network. The Claude certification eligibility guide covers who may register, and the Claude certification cost guide covers the tier discount.

The Claude partners list by tier, read on 10 November 2026

Anthropic’s Service partners page printed three tier groups on 10 November 2026: 17 Global Premier, 42 Preferred and 295 Select. Under its All partners heading it printed 354 partners, the page’s own unit. On Cred Farmer’s tally of all 354 cards, every one carries one of those three labels. The table puts the newest reading first.

The 6 November 2026 column is Cred Farmer’s earlier reading of the same page. The 5 November column is another page, the Partner Hub’s directory: 313 firms, with 16 Global Premier, 40 Preferred and 257 Select. It could not be repeated, because the directory answered HTTP 403.

Cred Farmer does not read the columns as growth. Between 6 and 10 November the page’s total rose by 23 and its cards with no tier fell from 17 to none, and no page read says why. The first-load cards link into the directory’s address, as the Partner Hub post records, but no page read says in words that the two hold one list.

How Cred Farmer read this count

Cred Farmer’s count of Claude partners by tier comes from one page. On 10 November 2026 it rendered: Show all 17, Show all 42, Show all 295 and 354 partners. That morning Cred Farmer tallied the cards in a browser, as it did on 6 November.

• What the first load showed: six cards under each tier group and twelve under All partners, 23 distinct firms in all, each with a name, a short description and a tier: the same 23 on both days.
• What the tally did: in a browser, View more was pressed until no button remained and All partners held 354 distinct cards, then each card’s tier label was counted: 17, 42 and 295, and none without. No firm’s own page was opened.
• What this post uses: the printed figures, the tally and six Global Premier names. It uses no other firm data and no contact details.

The count is what one page showed at one moment, not Anthropic’s statement of the network’s size, and no official page Cred Farmer could read says how many firms are members.

Tier groups also move. Anthropic’s announcement puts promotions on 1 January and 1 July, and a firm’s move down only at the annual review on 31 December, narrow exceptions aside. A later reading would go in the table, dated. Claude certification changes keeps the dated record of programme changes.

Service partners cards with no tier label: 17, then none

Anthropic’s Service partners page printed 17 cards with no tier label among its 331 partners on 6 November 2026, on Cred Farmer’s tally. On 10 November 2026, none of its 354 cards lacked one. Nothing on the page says why either way, and Cred Farmer names no firm, because any explanation would be a guess.

Two things sit near them, and neither explains them. The page’s Partner tier filter lists the same three tiers as its groups. No group, filter or card is named Registered, though the announcement says new applicants start there. Nothing read ties the 17 of 6 November to Registered, to timing or to anything else.

Cred Farmer’s advice, if you quote these figures in a proposal or a slide, is to give the groups and the total separately, each with its page and date. For your own firm’s record, Anthropic’s eligibility page gives partner-support@anthropic.com.

Applied, certified and listed are three different counts

Applied, certified and listed are three different counts of firms on Anthropic’s pages. The Service partners page printed 354 partners on 10 November 2026. Professionals across 46,000 firms had earned certifications by 2 October 2026. More than 40,000 firms had applied by 3 June 2026. No page read relates them, so no rate follows.

Anthropic’s post of 2 October 2026 counts “more than 175,000 Claude certifications”, and certifications are not people. Its article of 23 July 2026 counted “more than 36,000 consultants” across “more than 1,300 organizations”. The wording changes between those dates and no page read relates them, so they do not form a series either.

Commitments are another unit. That July article says “the Global Premier partners are doing it in the largest cohorts”, then names firm commitments. Those are not counts of people certified, and the article does not give each firm’s tier.

Tiers ask more than certified people. Anthropic’s 3 June 2026 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. So a firm can have certified people and still sit below it.

Anthropic’s FAQ lists three exams that count towards eligibility: Claude Certified Developer - Foundations (CCDV-F), Claude Certified Architect - Foundations (CCAR-F) and Claude Certified Architect - Professional (CCAR-P). Whether the credential itself can be trusted is a separate question: see is the Claude certification legit.

Other lists Anthropic calls partners

Anthropic’s partners page names more than one kind of partner. They are services partners who deliver Claude work, a Powered by Claude directory of businesses that use Claude in their products, and cloud partners: AWS, Google Cloud and Microsoft. Of the pages read on 10 November 2026, only the Service partners page grouped firms by the Services Track’s three tiers.

• Powered by Claude: its page printed 66 partners on 10 November 2026 under the words “A curated list”, with no tier groups, so it does not add to the count by tier.
• Claude Marketplace: its post of 23 September 2026 puts plugins and connectors, agents and products, and service partners in one place. Only the service partners are counted here.
• Three names, not shown as one: the partners page says Services partner directory, the announcement says the Hub’s public directory, and the Marketplace says Service partners. No page read says in words that they are one list.

Key takeaways

• Anthropic’s Service partners page printed 354 partners on 10 November 2026. Its tier groups read 17 Global Premier, 42 Preferred and 295 Select.
• On Cred Farmer’s tally, every one of those 354 cards carries a tier label. On 6 November 2026, 17 of 331 did not, and the page does not say why.
• Anthropic’s Partner Hub directory answered HTTP 403 to Cred Farmer on 10 November 2026. Cred Farmer’s reading of 5 November 2026, 313 firms at 16, 40 and 257, could not be repeated.
• A count of listed partners is not an acceptance rate. Anthropic said more than 40,000 firms had applied by 3 June 2026, and no page read gives an acceptance rate.
• Anthropic’s figure of more than 175,000 certifications across 46,000 firms counts certifications, not people. It dates from 2 October 2026.
