Easy way to Link your AWS Certifications to your Company’s APN (AWS Partner Network) Account
As of Today, there are around more than one million active AWS Certifications, a number that grew more than 29% over the past year. More than 650K individuals hold associate, professional, or specialty AWS certifications. If you are one of them and wants to link your earned certification to your company’s APN, this is the right place.
Why your Company want you to link your certification to your Company’s APN?
Simple answer is to win more business, company’s like yours may have signed up to be an AWS Partner, so linking a certification enables your company to reach different levels.
Once you start achieving your certifications in AWS, your company will ask you to register with their APN account so that it can be included in their total count. Now, the real task comes in because there is no proper guidance or steps that shows how to do it.
I’m also an AWS Learner and have earned certifications and have faced the same issue, so I decided to document this process that can help and make everyone’s lives easier.
Steps to link your certification to your company’s APN:
