Partner-only exams
Can’t register for the Anthropic exams?
All four Claude certifications currently need a company email from a Claude Partner Network organization. If that rules you out, tick “Open to anyone only” above: the AWS, Microsoft, Google and NVIDIA exams cover similar ground, from AWS AI Practitioner or Google Generative AI Leader for the basics to Microsoft AI-103 or AWS Generative AI Developer – Professional for building, and NVIDIA NCP-AAI for agent systems.
