This site is the readable version of the CLAUDE-CERTIFICATIONS repository, built and maintained by Amey Thakur after completing the program's curriculum. It is a community resource, not an official Anthropic site: the official program lives on Anthropic Partner Academy, and exams are delivered by Pearson VUE.

Note

I worked through every course and collected all of this while preparing myself. None of it required anything you do not already have: the official material is free, the blueprints tell you exactly what is tested, and the rest is steady work. I put it in one place so your time goes into learning rather than looking. If it helps you get certified, it did its job.

The maintainer's certificates

Twenty-two Claude Academy course completion certificates behind this program, each with its issued PDF and Skilljar verification record. Twenty-four courses were also issued a digital completion badge on Claude Academy, verifiable on Anthropic's own domain, and there are twenty-five badges because one course issued twice. Every badge below links to its own verification page.

Note

Two badges, one course. AI Fluency for Creative Work was issued a completion badge on 22 August 2026 and again on 27 August 2026. Both verify on Anthropic's own domain, so both are shown: twenty-five badges across twenty-four courses.

All twenty-two certificates and twenty-five badges, with their PDFs, Skilljar records and verification links

A course completion certificate is not a certification credential. The courses are free and self-paced; the four certifications require a proctored Pearson VUE exam and are issued separately as Credly badges.

Info

Every candidate accepts a non-disclosure agreement covering exam questions, answer options, and scenarios, and it extends explicitly to online forums. Never post or request real exam content there. Blueprints, official sample questions, and the practice material in this repository are all fair game.
