Make.com Level 5 & Zapier Expert: AI and Ops Automation
Cover image for What does "Make.com certified" actually
What does "Make.com certified" actually mean when you are hiring an automation expert? It depends entirely on which rung of the ladder the badge is, and most buyers never ask. Make certifies individuals on a five-level ladder. Levels 1 to 3 are the Academy badges you see on most marketplace profiles: Foundation, Basic, Intermediate. Level 4 is Advanced. Level 5 is the top: scenario architecture, error handling, data transformation, API integration and performance optimisation, assessed by Make itself. A "partner" badge is a different thing again, an agency listing, not an individual skill certification. So two profiles can both say "Make certified" while sitting four rungs apart. Here is a check I ran on 31 August 2026, the way a buyer would. I searched Contra for "make.com automation expert" and read the first 50 profiles returned. One profile carried Make's Level 5 certification. It happens to be mine, held since 2024, recertified 2026, alongside Zapier Certified Expert status, which around 180 people worldwide hold as of 2026. I am not the biggest seller here and plenty of profiles have more reviews. But "who holds the platform's highest individual certification" has a very short answer list, and you can rerun that search yourself today. How to use this when you hire anyone, including me: 1. Ask which level the Make badge is, one to five. If the answer is a partner logo or a screenshot, ask again. 2. Verify at the source, 30 seconds: Make and Zapier both publish public directories. A real credential is findable on the platform's own site, not just on the resume. 3. Weigh the ladder against reviews. Reviews measure how a seller ran past projects. Certification measures what the platform verified they can build. You want both, but never accept one dressed up as the other. The full breakdown of every badge I hold, with the directory links to check them, is in the credentials project on my profile. Which badge do you weigh more when hiring, the platform's certification or the marketplace's review count?
