The four Claude certifications

Anthropic runs four tracks. They share a delivery model and pass mark — online proctored through Pearson VUE, scored out of 1000 with a 720 pass mark, valid 12 months — but differ in audience, blueprint, and fee. Every track on this site has a full curriculum, practice bank, diagnostic, and mock exam.
