What does the APN Competency Program recognize?

The APN Competency Program recognizes partners who demonstrate expertise in specific solution areas and industries. This program is designed to help AWS customers identify specialized partners who can deliver quality solutions based on proven knowledge and experience within defined areas of proficiency.

Achieving a competency signifies that a partner has undergone a rigorous vetting process, showcasing their capabilities to implement and manage AWS services effectively in various sectors, whether that relates to technology, security, or any other specialized service. This recognition not only highlights a partner's technical skills and successful customer engagements but also provides customers with confidence in the partner's ability to solve specific challenges by leveraging AWS technologies.

The emphasis on expertise ensures that customers can select the right partner tailored to their unique needs, moving beyond a general understanding of AWS services or pricing considerations. In contrast, the other choices either imply a lack of specific qualifications or suggest that pricing, rather than expertise, drives recognition, which does not align with the foundational goals of the APN Competency Program.
