Four certifications, and what each one actually means.

Every one of these links out to the issuer, so you never have to take my word for any of it. That's the main reason they're worth listing.

The four

Issued, dated and checkable

  1. Zapier Solution Partner

    Silver tier · Zapier

    What it is. Zapier's own partner programme, the rebuilt version of what used to be the Zapier Experts Program. Getting listed means Zapier reviewed and approved the application, and the listing itself carries the services I offer, the regions I work in and my minimum engagement.

    What it means for you. You can look me up inside Zapier's directory rather than on my own website, which is a different kind of evidence. Silver is the entry tier of their framework, and I'd rather say that than let you assume otherwise.

  2. Professional Certificate in n8n

    September 2026 · n8n

    What it is. n8n's own certification, issued by their education team against their own platform rather than by a third-party training company.

    What it means for you. n8n is the platform I reach for when a workflow needs real logic, self-hosting, or code inside it. If that's where your build ends up, this is the vendor confirming I know their tool.

  3. AI Agent Builder

    Credly badge · Make

    What it is. Make's badge for their advanced agent-building track, issued through Credly so the badge itself is independently hosted and can't be edited by me.

    What it means for you. It covers the newer part of Make, where a workflow makes decisions rather than just moving data between two places. That's the part worth being careful with, and worth having been assessed on.

  4. IBM AI Developer

    Specialization · IBM on Coursera

    What it is. A multi-course specialization from IBM on building applications that use AI, rather than on using AI tools.

    What it means for you. When a workflow has an AI step in it, the question is never whether a model can produce an answer. It's what happens to the answer you can't verify. This is the background behind that judgement.

The honest part

What a certificate can't tell you

A certificate says somebody sat an assessment. It doesn't say what happens when a supplier's API returns a server error at three in the morning, or when a spreadsheet arrives with the columns in a different order, or when the person who understood the process leaves.

That's the part that decides whether an automation is still working in six months, and no badge covers it. Which is why the rest of this site is case studies and a demo you can run rather than a wall of logos.
