The official “Claude Partners Certified” badge

It sets you apart from the profiles that call themselves “Claude Code expert” without proving it: the badge shows a score obtained in front of a third party, next to your name in the directory. A company looking for a Claude provider opens the directory and sees thirty profiles that all say the same thing: “Claude Code expert”. None of them shows it. Yours does.

• You stand out from the list. The badge appears on your profile and in the directory list, in colour, next to your name. It is the only distinguishing mark a profile can carry.
• You show a figure, not a promise. A score out of 100 and a date: the prospect sees in one second what three paragraphs of profile cannot tell them.
• You are recognised by a third party. The badge is awarded by Claude Partners, not declared by you. Nobody can add it by hand, or buy it.
• You are among the first. The badge has just opened: scarcity works for those who take it now.

The badge is one signal, alongside your background, references and offers. It carries a score and a date because that is exactly what it measures: the result obtained on this test, on that day. It says nothing about the skills Claude Partners does not check — experience, references, the quality of an engagement — and that is what makes it credible to companies.

In three steps: take the free Claude Code test on claudeagency.fr, score 75/100 or more, then have a provider profile under the same email address as the test. A quarter of an hour is enough, with no account to create.

1. Take the test on claudeagency.fr. Twenty real work situations, thirty seconds per question, about fifteen minutes in all. Free, with no account to create.
2. Score 75/100 or more. The score combines accuracy and speed: a perfect run is worth 80 at the slowest and 100 at the fastest. Answering at random, quickly, earns nothing.
3. Have a profile under the same email address. Either a profile you created yourself, or a directory profile you have claimed. The address is what links the test to the profile: a different address, and the badge does not appear.

The directory refreshes after each passed test. The badge appears on your profile within the following minutes, without you having to ask anyone. If your profile does not exist yet, it will appear as soon as the profile is online.

Real work situations with Claude Code, not syntax or encyclopaedia questions, spread across five families of questions. A message limit reached in the middle of the afternoon, a thirty-page document to have analysed, a command that fails twice in a row, a client deliverable where a mistake would be costly. The five families:

• Framing your request — eight questions: scoping, breaking down, setting a checkpoint before letting it run.
• Context and limits — three questions: what the tool remembers, what it forgets, when to start again from scratch.
• Steering a session — three questions: taking back control, correcting a direction, stopping in time.
• Checking before delivering — three questions: what you reread, what you test, what you do not take on trust.
• Working method — three questions: what can be delegated, what you keep, what you write down for next time.

The correction appears after each answer, you cannot go back, and the timer counts an unanswered question as wrong. The threshold of 75 is not a gift — it is what gives the badge its value when a company sees it on your profile.

The score and the date of the test, on the profile and in the directory list, shown for 12 months from the test. The badge reads, for example, “Claude Partners Certified · 84/100 · 4 September 2026”, then it disappears on its own. Tools change fast; a result from two years ago no longer says much.

The test can be retaken once a year per address. A new passed attempt updates the badge with its new score and new date: it is up to you to do better than last time.

Below 75/100, you can retake the test without waiting a year: €49 incl. VAT for ten new attempts. The payment opens these ten attempts, nothing more: you still need 75/100 to get the badge.

The badge is not bought and not sold. The first attempt at the test is free. Only an early retake is paid (€49 incl. VAT for ten attempts), and it guarantees nothing: the badge comes from the score, or it does not come. It is not tied to any paid placement, and it cannot be added by hand either. That is precisely what makes it worth something in a company’s eyes.

It counts in the directory ranking, through the score. Your test score, halved, makes up half of the Claude Partners score out of 100, and since 16 October 2026 the directory is ranked by that score. A paid retake gives no points by itself: only the score obtained counts. The ranking criteria are published on the transparency page.

It opens up engagements. When a company entrusts us with a project, we present providers whose expertise matches it and who have reached 75/100 on the test — a rule published on the transparency page. The first attempt at the test is free. The companies posting projects are French-speaking, mostly in France, and most engagements take place in French.

What it does not change: the price. The commission remains 20% of the amount excluding VAT of engagements started through Claude Partners, and nothing else. And nobody can buy the badge: it is earned on the test, in a quarter of an hour, or it is not earned at all.

Wherever you present yourself: your “about” page, your LinkedIn profile, your email signature, your proposals. The badge is no use if it stays in the directory: as soon as you have it, these two files are yours, and that is where it works for you.

Display your badge on your website

Paste this code, replacing YOUR-PROFILE with the end of your profile’s address (for example jean-dupont): the badge leads to your profile, where anyone who sees it can check the score and its date.

The link is optional, and unconditional. The badge is awarded to you on your score, not in exchange for a link: you can make the link nofollow, or display the image on its own.

Two rules of use, and they protect us as much as you. The badge is displayed while yours is valid, and removed when it expires. It is not to be altered: not the colour, not the text, and the crest is not separated from its label.

Most often, an email address that does not match between the test and the profile, or a profile not yet claimed: both cases are fixed in a few minutes. The details, case by case:

I took the test with a different address from the one on my profile. The badge will not appear. Claim your profile with the test address, or write to us from one of the two addresses at contact@claudepartners.fr: we check that both belong to you before linking them.

My profile is in the directory, but I have not claimed it. No badge until it is claimed: we do not know that the person who took the test is the person on the profile. Claiming takes two minutes, from the profile.

The test is hosted by Claude Agency: who awards the badge? Claude Partners. The test and its marking are the work of Claude Agency, which belongs to the same publisher; the awarding of the badge, its threshold, its duration and its display in the directory are decided and managed by Claude Partners.

I want the badge, or my data, removed. The badge is removed on simple request to contact@claudepartners.fr. The test data — name, address, score, response times — is kept by Claude Agency; to access it or have it deleted, write to contact@claudeagency.fr.

The test is taken online and unsupervised: the badge attests the result obtained on this test, on a given date, and nothing else — neither experience nor the quality of an engagement. It is awarded by Claude Partners, with no link to or accreditation from Anthropic or any certification body. Last updated: 6 September 2026. Threshold, duration and award rules are those applied by the directory on that date.
