Verified Claude credentials
Claude Certification and Anthropic Credentials
Deb Szabo is an AI Business Strategist and Claude Specialist with 30 years in marketing. She passed Anthropic's official proctored Claude Certified Associate - Foundations exam on 6 August 2026.
The official certification sits separately from eight completed Anthropic course certificates, registration in the Claude Partner Network and current study towards Claude Certified Architect - Foundations.
Claude Certified Associate - Foundations
Issuer: Anthropic
Credential: Claude Certified Associate - Foundations
Assessment: Official proctored certification exam
Passed: 6 August 2026
Public verification: Credly badge linked below
This is Deb's official Claude certification. It confirms that she completed Anthropic's proctored Associate Foundations assessment. It is not the same thing as completing an online course, and it is not a Partner Network title.
The badge is evidence of assessed foundational Claude knowledge. The evidence of implementation sits in the systems, training, client work and case studies Deb produces from that knowledge.
Eight completed Anthropic course certificates
Deb has also completed eight separate Anthropic credential certificates across Claude, AI fluency, agent skills and practical AI use. They support the wider knowledge base behind her implementation work, but they are not presented as additional official proctored certifications.

Three separate facts, clearly stated
Registered in the Claude Partner Network
Deb's registration provides validated access to the Anthropic Partner Academy and partner-exclusive certification pathways. It is not presented as a membership, certification, accreditation or Claude Partner title.
Claude Certified Architect - Foundations is in progress
Deb is currently studying towards Architect Foundations. It will not be represented as completed until Anthropic issues verified evidence of completion.
Credentials are the foundation. Implementation is the outcome.
Deb uses this Claude knowledge to help business owners move beyond isolated prompts and build practical AI systems around the way their business actually works.
Claude setup
Set up Claude around the roles, knowledge and working patterns your business needs.
Business context
Capture your Business DNA, Brand DNA, offers, processes and decisions so Claude works from real context instead of guessing.
Repeatable workflows
Turn recurring work into governed processes that your team can understand, use and improve.
Practical training
Train owners and teams to use Claude confidently, recognise its limits and keep human judgement in the loop.
The AI Brain for Business
Deb created the AI Brain for Business to turn a company's knowledge into a governed, reusable workspace for AI.
It captures the business foundations Claude needs, including the audience, positioning, offers, voice, processes, decisions and operating rules. The result is more useful AI work, less repeated explanation and a system the business can keep improving.
