Claude Certified Associate - Foundations

Paid certificateAnthropic / Pearson VUE

A certificate for the Practitioner/Associate role (CCAO-F). It does not count towards Claude Partner Network status.

How it works

Exam: single-choice and scenario-based multiple-choice questions, 120 minutes, closed book, pass mark 720 on a 100–1000 scale. You sit it online (Pearson OnVUE) or at a Pearson VUE centre, minimum age 18. The 99 USD price is before partner discounts and a retake costs the same. The certificate is valid for 12 months, and renewing on time is a free unproctored assessment. Only employees of organisations in the Claude Partner Network can take the exam (a work e-mail address is required, a personal one does not work), so a student without such an employer cannot sit it. From 7 December 2026 the exams get updated content.
