Credential record

Claude Certified Architect – Professional

Two credentials, both issued by Anthropic on passing a proctored exam: Claude Certified Architect – Professional, issued 23 July 2026, and Claude Certified Associate – Foundations, issued 21 July 2026. Both verify on Credly in under a minute; the links are below.

1AYM is an OpenAI Select Partner. That is a company status, awarded to the practice. The two credentials on this page are different in kind: Anthropic issues them to an individual who has sat a proctored exam, and both are held by Tayyeb Mahmud, founder and Principal Architect of 1AYM. They attest to capability with Claude. They are certifications, not a partnership, and we do not present them as one. Credly holds the public record, and each plate below links to it.
