Prepare for every Claude certification
Hands-on labs and full practice exams built directly against Anthropic's official exam guides. Pick the credential you're working toward.
Four credentials, three roles
Anthropic's certification program spans three roles: Practitioner, Architect, and Developer. Each track below is written against that exam's official guide, so you study what is actually tested and nothing that isn't.
For professionals who use Claude as a productivity tool: operations, marketing, project management, education, and communications. No coding required. Covers prompting, output validation, model selection, Projects, governance, and troubleshooting.
For engineers designing production Claude systems. Twelve hands-on modules across agentic loops, the Agent SDK, MCP, Claude Code, prompt precision, reliability, and a capstone orchestrator project, plus an advanced agent-building track.
The advanced architect credential, for practitioners who own production Claude systems end to end. Eleven design-studio labs across solution design, RAG pipelines, integration and observability, evaluation, governance and compliance, stakeholder communication, and a capstone architecture review.
For engineers who build, integrate, and ship production Claude applications. Nine hands-on labs across the API, agents, tools and MCP, prompt and context engineering, cost optimization, security, and evals, with code written against today's API.
Which certification fits you?
| If you… | Start with | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Use Claude to do your job better: drafting, analysis, research, project work | Associate – Foundations | Tests applied product skill, not engineering. No API or development experience needed. |
| Design and build Claude systems with the SDK, agents, or MCP | Architect – Foundations | Tests agentic architecture, tool design, Claude Code configuration, and reliability patterns. |
| Own production Claude systems end to end, and answer to security, compliance, and stakeholders | Architect – Professional | Tests judgment, not syntax: RAG pipeline design, evaluation frameworks, observability at scale, GDPR/HIPAA/FedRAMP, and how you defend a trade-off to a regulator. Two domains have no API surface at all. |
| Write application code against the Claude API day to day | Developer – Foundations | Tests building and shipping: API mechanics, streaming, caching, batch, tools and MCP servers, evals, and security. Covers ground the Architect exam leaves out. |
Certification eligibility is limited to organizations in the Claude Partner Network. Exams are delivered by Pearson VUE. Registration, scheduling, and the official exam guides live on the Anthropic certification page.
