Open only to employees of Claude Partner Network organisations, registering with a company email address.
Claude Certified Developer: Foundations
Validates that an individual can build, integrate and ship production-grade applications, agents and workflows on Claude at a foundational level — API integration, the Claude Agent SDK, Claude Code, custom tools and MCP servers, prompt/context engineering, evaluation/debugging, and security.

Claude Certified Architect: Foundations
Validates that a solution architect can make informed tradeoff decisions building production applications with Claude Code, the Claude Agent SDK, the Claude API and MCP. Scenario-based: each exam presents 4 scenarios drawn at random from a published bank of 6 (customer support agent, Claude Code adoption, multi-agent research, developer productivity, CI/CD integration, structured data extraction). Open only to employees of Claude Partner Network organisations, registering with a company email address.

Price shown (50 USD) is beta pricing; standard price at general availability is 100 USD. Duration is disputed between AWS sources: the exam guide states 130 minutes with no beta exemption noted, while the official certification page's beta overview table states 170 minutes (used here as the currently live, candidate-facing figure). Earning the certification by February 15, 2027 adds an Early Adopter badge.

Updated ML Engineer – Associate exam covering traditional ML plus foundation models, RAG and agentic workloads. Beta registration opened September 1, 2026; beta delivery begins September 29, 2026, the day after MLA-C01 retires.
