The four Claude certifications

Anthropic runs four tracks. They share a delivery model — online proctored through Pearson VUE, scored out of 1000 with a 720 pass mark, valid 12 months — but differ in audience and blueprint. Full curriculum on this site is built for Developer Foundations and Architect Foundations; the other two list their published blueprint facts only, and say so.
