Panaversity Chief Executive Officer M Rehan ul Haq has passed the Claude Certified Associate: Foundations exam with a score of 950 against a passing threshold of 720. The certification, tied to Anthropic’s Claude AI models, is part of a broader push by Panaversity to expand AI education and training within Pakistan’s technology sector.
The company described the achievement as an early step toward a larger goal of preparing 100,000 certified AI professionals capable of contributing to Pakistan’s emerging AI sector as engineers, developers, architects, entrepreneurs and technology leaders. Panaversity framed the certification effort as part of a broader ambition for Pakistan to play an active role in building AI capabilities rather than solely relying on AI tools developed elsewhere.
Panaversity has positioned itself within Pakistan’s growing AI education space, focusing on training and certification programs aimed at building a workforce equipped to work with modern AI systems and agentic AI tools. The company’s stated goal of training a large pool of certified AI professionals reflects a wider trend among Pakistani technology education providers to align training programs with the skills increasingly demanded by AI focused roles in both local and international markets.
The certification milestone adds to a growing number of individual and institutional AI credentialing efforts taking shape across Pakistan’s technology sector, as companies and training providers work to build recognized standards for AI related skills. With Panaversity’s leadership taking an active role in pursuing these certifications themselves, the company appears to be positioning its own team as an example for the wider AI training push it is working to build across the country.
