How to register for a Claude certification. Five steps.
Claude certifications are proctored, identity-verified exams set and issued by Anthropic. Here is exactly what it takes to sit one — and the one requirement most people miss.
From choosing a track to the credential.
Choose the track that matches your work
Developer – Foundations if you build software; Architect – Foundations if you design agent systems; Architect – Professional for enterprise-scale architecture; Associate if you use Claude without an engineering background. Compare them on the exams page.
Check you can register
Hydralogic AI enables learners to prepare for and take an Anthropic certification exam through our institute. We provide access to Anthropic's official Skilljar learning portal and guide you through preparation, registration and the official exam pathway. Anthropic's eligibility, identity and booking requirements still apply. You sit the official exam and pay Anthropic separately; our fee covers your preparation sprint or programme. Contact us before booking so we can help you complete the institute onboarding and confirm the registration details for your track.
Prepare before you book
Anthropic’s own training is free to partner-network members. Test yourself before paying for an attempt: our free practice questions show where you stand, and our preparation adds a study plan, timed mocks and hands-on labs.
Book and sit the exam
You book and pay Anthropic directly, per attempt: Developer $125, Associate $99, Architect $125, Architect Pro $175. The exam is proctored and closed-book. A failed attempt means paying again and waiting 14, then 30, then 90 days.
Keep the credential current
The credential is issued to you and valid for 12 months. Renewal is a free, non-proctored assessment — renew before it lapses, or you sit the full exam again.
