The Claude certification path
Anthropic's Claude Partner Network runs a four-track certification programme. This is the whole Claude certification path in one place: what each track proves, what it costs, and how the exams are weighted, so you can pick the right starting point. We prep the architect and developer tracks; your concept mastery carries across all of them.

One engine, every track
The tracks share concepts. Model selection, prompt and context engineering, tools and MCP servers, and safety appear on more than one exam. We track mastery per concept, so the work you do for one certification moves you closer to the next. That cross-track transfer is the difference between a static course and an adaptive one.
Start with the live trackFrequently asked
- Which Claude certification should I take?
- Start with the track that matches your role. Architects and solution designers take the Architect Foundations exam (CCAR-F), which we prep end to end today. Engineers building applications take the Developer Foundations exam (CCDV-F). The Associate exam (CCAO-F) is the entry-level option, and the Architect Professional exam (CCAR-P) is the senior tier that builds on the foundations material.
- What are the Claude certification levels?
- There are two tiers. Foundations exams (Associate, Architect, Developer) validate core competence. The Professional exam is the advanced architect tier. Every exam is proctored through Pearson VUE and valid for twelve months.
- Do the certifications share material?
- Yes. Concepts like model selection, prompt and context engineering, tools and MCP servers, and application security recur across tracks. Because we track mastery per concept, progress on one exam counts towards the others.
- Which tracks can I prepare for here?
- The Architect Foundations exam (CCAR-F) is live with full adaptive prep. The Developer Foundations (CCDV-F) and Architect Professional (CCAR-P) tracks are in active development; you can start on the architect foundations track now and carry that mastery forward.
