Eligibility first

Partner organization access

Use the official registration route. A personal email or our course enquiry does not guarantee admission.

Read the official certification FAQ for current payment and exam policies. The FAQ says a partner voucher storefront is in progress; do not treat this page as voucher stock or a checkout.

  1. Confirm eligibility using your organization's recognized partner email.
  2. Open the correct credential from the official certification catalogue and read its exam guide.
  3. Complete the official registration and payment steps, then use the supplied Pearson scheduling link.
  4. Confirm identification, delivery requirements and appointment details before exam day.

Who should follow this path?

Software engineers who implement API integrations, agent workflows, developer tooling and deployment tests.

Before starting: Be comfortable reading code, JSON, HTTP requests and automated tests. Use an approved sandbox and never commit API credentials.

Practise, review and improve

Start with the original role-specific readiness test, review its explanations and practise the weak areas above. Further sets will be listed only when authored and reviewed; no placeholder sets are counted.

Questions before you register

Is this official Anthropic training?

No. This is independent ITCertPath learning content. Use the linked Anthropic Academy preparation and current exam guide as the certification authority.

Can anyone register for the credential?

Anthropic currently restricts certification registration to eligible Claude Partner Network organizations. Confirm your company email and eligibility before paying; access to this learning page does not establish exam eligibility.

Does ITCertPath sell this exam voucher?

No. We provide preparation and registration guidance, not an Anthropic exam attempt. Complete payment and scheduling through the official Academy and its linked testing provider.

Does a practice score predict certification success?

No. A raw practice percentage is not Anthropic's scaled exam score. Use mistakes to guide further study and practical exercises; no pass or ranking guarantee is offered.
