IntelligenceMasters · Claude Partner Network
Become a Claude
Certified Architect.
Intelligence Masters is not an agency you work for. It is a house you are part of: a circle of operators who run together, grow each other's work, and carry real AI into the businesses we serve. This cohort is our first mission together.
A house of ten. June 2026.

01 · The mission
Now in the
Claude Partner Network.
IntelligenceMasters has been accepted into Anthropic's Claude Partner Network, the official program for firms building enterprise AI on Claude. To activate it, we put our first ten operators through Anthropic's official architect track.
Finish it, and each of us earns a real, recognized credential, the Claude Certified Architect, while IM unlocks its standing as a certified partner. The credential is yours, personally, for life. You keep the badge. Together we build the house.
You were not added at random. You are an operator: someone who builds, ships, and can carry AI into a live business. That is the whole bar, and you are one of the ten holding the first flag.
02 · The plan
Four steps.
One unit.
1
Get your IM identity
You receive your @intelligencemasters.com email from Noah. This address is your key to everything below. Use it, not a personal email.
2
Create your Academy account
Go to
anthropic.skilljar.com and sign up with your new IM email. That is the only account you need to begin.
3
Clear your course checklist
Complete the courses on the next slide, about four to eight hours, free and self-paced. A few recommended extras make the exam much easier.
4
Verify, then we go certified
When a course reads Complete, open it, click View certificate, copy its verify link, and send all four to Noah. No screenshots. Once all ten of us are in, IM submits.
Most important rule. Do every course signed in with your IM email, not a personal Gmail. We gate the cohort to our house domain, so anything completed on another account does not count toward your certification. When in doubt, check the email in the top corner of anthropic.skilljar.com before you start.

Grabbing your verify links. Sign in at anthropic.skilljar.com with your IM email first. When a required course reads Complete, open it, click View certificate, then Copy verify url (it looks like verify.skilljar.com/c/...), and email all four to Noah. No screenshots. Skip the general catalog (AI Fluency, Bedrock, Vertex AI); it is not part of this path. Stuck on API or Claude Code access? Message Noah.
After verification · the official exam
Then you earn it.
For real.
Once all ten of us are verified, Anthropic opens the Claude Certified Architect, Foundations exam for IntelligenceMasters. Passing it is what makes you an official Claude Certified Architect. This is the real milestone, not a formality, and it is the step that puts the house on the map.

What is due, and when. The courses come first. The exam is a separate, later step that only opens after all ten of us finish and Anthropic verifies the house. You do not sit it this week. When it unlocks, Noah builds the cohort a dedicated study guide so we all pass, and we confirm the final format with Anthropic before anyone takes it.

05 · FAQ
Frequently asked
questions.
Is there a catch, a cost, or an obligation?
No equity, no obligation to take on client work, nothing hidden. The courses and certification are free. The only thing Noah may ask later, once we are approved, is that you cover the small monthly cost of your own IM email, at cost and no markup, so your account and badge stay active.
Which email do I use?
Always your @intelligencemasters.com address. Sign in to anthropic.skilljar.com with it. Anything completed on a personal email does not count toward the cohort or unlock certification.
When is the exam?
Later. After all ten of us finish the courses and Anthropic verifies the house, the Claude Certified Architect, Foundations exam unlocks. Noah builds the cohort a dedicated study guide so we all pass it.
Is the credential really mine?
Yes. Claude Certified Architect is a personal credential you display on your LinkedIn and resume. IM and the Partner Network are what unlock your access to earn it. The badge you earn is yours, for life.
What if I am not sure I can finish?
Tell Noah now, before we submit. No hard feelings at all. We would rather have ten people who are fully in than ten names on a list. If you are in, be in all the way.
06 · The deal, in plain terms
What being a partner
asks of us.
Anthropic's Partner Network comes with a short, simple code of conduct. Because we move as one house, all ten of us follow it together. None of it is hard.
01
Keep the partnership low-key, for now
Until Anthropic gives the public go-ahead, do not announce that IM is an Anthropic or Claude partner anywhere public. Enjoy it quietly. We celebrate loudly the moment they clear us.
02
Your certificate is yours to show
Once you pass, wear Claude Certified Architect proudly on your LinkedIn and resume. That part is encouraged. It is the company partnership we keep quiet for now, never your personal credential.
03
Never speak for Anthropic
We are an independent house that uses Claude. Do not imply you represent Anthropic, or that IM resells Claude. When in doubt, point people to Anthropic directly.
04
Use the name and logo only when cleared
Hold off on Anthropic or Claude logos on your own sites, decks or products. There are brand rules, and Noah shares exactly what is allowed once we are approved.
05
Keep program details inside the house
The specifics, the perks, the dates and the agreement itself are confidential. Share them inside the group, not in public posts or screenshots.
06
Stay honest and professional
Be straight about who we are, a brand-new partner earning its place. No overstating our status, no cutting corners. It is simply good conduct.
The whole thing, in one line. Be proud of your badge, keep the partnership quiet until Anthropic clears us, never speak for them, and keep the details in the family. Follow these six and we all keep our standing, and our certifications, safe.
Your four courses are due Friday, June 19, 2026
Ten operators. One credential.
The house
goes certified.
Your IM email is on its way. Start at the Academy, work the path, and send your verify links as each course is done. We move as one unit, and Anthropic only verifies us once all ten cross the line. Pace it across a few evenings this week. The API course is the longest. If you are in, be in all the way.
Let's climb.
