About certifications

Who can take the official Claude certification exams?

Access to the official Claude certification exams is currently limited. Based on publicly reported information, the exams are available to people whose employer participates in the Anthropic Partner Program — individuals generally cannot register on their own today. The exams themselves are delivered as formal, proctored tests through Pearson VUE, with results reported at the end of the session.

Partner-gated access

If your organisation is part of the Anthropic Partner Program, ask internally how exam seats are requested. If it is not, you cannot register today — but access policies change, and preparation carries over.

Study is still worth it

The blueprints map to real, enterprise-grade Claude skills — agents, tool use, MCP, evaluation, governance and prompting. Learning them makes you better at building with Claude whether or not you ever sit an exam, and leaves you ready the day a seat opens up.
