Specializations are both regionally and globally based and require partners to demonstrate skills, knowledge, and competency in a specific Guidewire product or solution, as validated by Guidewire certification achievements. The attainment of specializations enables insurers to have more clarity and insight into which partners have proven capabilities in a specific region or product. In addition, partners with specializations can better promote their capabilities across Guidewire products and solutions. Over 130 specializations have now been achieved by Guidewire PartnerConnect Consulting partners.

Guidewire Education offers multiple certification options for business analysts, quality analysts, and developers including Certified Associate and Certified Ace designations for cloud projects. These cloud certifications, which are required for partners to achieve the Guidewire Cloud specialization, help customers identify cloud-ready talent.

*The Global Delivery designation recognizes partners that have a large investment in their Guidewire practice, meet the skills requirements from a global perspective (vs. a specific region) and continue to meet the minimum number of references in region.
