Partner readiness system

Partner certification architecture

A generic mechanism for moving a partner from structured learning to assessed readiness, visible status, and governed renewal.

Illustrative reference architecture — no former-employer or client material.

Designed and built by Alex Wong.

Three tiers.
Evidence at every gate.

Status is not granted by attendance alone. Each progression point connects learning, assessment evidence, partner rights and benefits, and the next review condition.

Three delivery modes.
One certification logic.

01 / TRAINER-LED

In-house trainer

Facilitated learning and assessment delivered directly against the same progression gates.

02 / IN-STORE

Ambassador track

Local training feeds a defined ambassador pathway without creating a second certification system.

03 / ALWAYS-ON

Online with testing

Self-paced access keeps assessment embedded, so completion and readiness remain separate signals.

Governance is part of the learning design.

Evidence before status

Progression requires a recorded assessment signal, not attendance alone.

Status has meaning

Each level links to defined partner rights, benefits, and visible recognition.

Trust is maintained

Annual review ends in renewal or removal; certification is not permanent by default.
