Level 1 - Technical Certification

Objective: is to prove the capability level of a partner

We need to define our purpose to understand how to create a certification. Based on our purpose, there are different inputs and outcomes.

What is our goal?

To understand if they have the skill?

To develop an extended services arm?

Purpose

Pro

Con

Skills only determination

easier to grade

doesn’t involve coacing

does not produce a leveragable amount of partners

Extension of services

more resource intensive to grade because we need to ensure that the parnter is capable

we can scale faster if we have more capabile partners

requres more enablement

Goal for enabling partners: to give our internal team the comfort level that partners can do a great job when referring partners

Partner Skills Desired

What is the skill that we want to confirm?

Agent use case scoping?

How to build an agent?

How to QA an agent?

What does success look like?

How do we measure success?

Simple Agent Capstone

Ask partners to build a basic Go agent for one well‑chosen use case

Requirements (directionally)

Identify a use case where a Go agent is actually a good fit

Build an agent with at least one tool/connector and appropriate data

Provide the key prompt/instructions

Demonstrate in a short Loom how the agent works and why this workflow makes sense

Optional added data for learning

Submit the instructions/prompt text explicitly

Outcome

Store submissions for pattern‑finding and future best‑practice guidance (even if not reviewed immediately)

Checks minimum bar: they can reason about when to use Go and wire an agent together

Provides material for potential coaching moments, if capacity allows

Rubric - How we grade

Do we give feedback, if so how?

Capstone Agent Choices

Choice

Pro

Con

Simple We define the agent and give the criteria

Easier to grade for SH

Less time

Less technical ability needed

Might be able to use an agent

Easier to do for partners (less thinking)

Doesn’t involve coacing

Does not produce a leveragable amount of partners

This demonstrates skill building, not a thought process

Rote skill building doesn’t make the learning sticy

Choose your own adventure

The partner chooses what they want to build

We can scale faster if we have more capabile partners

learners absob concepts when they are applicable and used

Figureing out what to build is a challenge in it’s own right

More resource intensive to grade because we need to ensure that the parnter is capable

Requres more enablement

Either

Additional Enablement

Besides a course and certification test, how else can/should we support them?

Do we want to have cohorts of onboarding partners?

Discovery Call Shadowing

What about an agent coach to help with discovery calls for building agents? Like a coach
