Path-complete in the cohort — Abdul Ghaffar + Tiemen van der Linden + Adil Benaboud + Mehdi El Kettani + Hans van Raan
Six of us in the cohort have now crossed the line on all four partner-unlock courses on the Anthropic Academy:
Introduction to agent skills
Building with the Claude API
Introduction to Model Context Protocol
Claude Code in Action
That’s the gate to the Claude Certified Architect. Five have said yes to being named publicly:
- Abdul Ghaffar — “Thank you for managing everything around this setup. Looking forward to further taking part in CCA-F.”
- Tiemen van der Linden — “feel free to share my name.”
- Adil Benaboud — “happy to share my name.”
- Mehdi El Kettani — crossed the line 11 July, hours after the “5 to go, find the time stay in the rhyme” nudge to the group. Consented to naming.
- Hans van Raan — crossed the line 20 July. Consented to naming.
A sixth member has chosen to be counted quietly — that’s respected.
We need ten across the line by 2 September for the next Anthropic partner unlock — three to go.
If you’re 3/4 you’re closer than you think; if you’re earlier in the path, the next course is one log-in away: Claude Partner Network Learning Path
Big up, Abdul, Tiemen, Adil, Mehdi, and Hans. ![]()
