Certification & Partnerships
The official credential this program prepares you for
Every module maps directly to the current public CCAO-F exam blueprint, v1.0, effective July 2026. A typical self-paced video platform gives you recordings. A generic question bank gives you MCQs. Neither gets you a certified trainer, a working Claude Project you built yourself, two domain-scored mocks, or a hand-held walk through the real Pearson VUE registration. This program does.

Frequently asked questions
What exactly is the CCAO-F certification?
Claude Certified Associate – Foundations is Anthropic's official, proctored credential for professionals who use Claude as a productivity tool, operations, marketing, PM, education, communications and consulting roles. The exam is 60 questions in 120 minutes, delivered by Pearson VUE, and you pass at a scaled score of 720 out of 1000. This course prepares you for that exam, domain by domain.
Do I need coding or technical experience?
No. The CCAO-F is explicitly not for developers, no software-development or API experience is needed, and there are no mandatory prerequisites for the exam. If you use Claude (or any AI chat tool) at work and can follow structured processes, you are ready for this cohort.
How is this different from a self-paced video course or a question bank?
Most self-paced video platforms give you recordings, and question banks give you MCQs. This is a live cohort with certified trainers, blueprint-weighted modules, real hands-on labs, two full-length timed mocks with domain-wise score reports, and a walkthrough of the official Pearson VUE registration. You also build two real portfolio assets, a configured Claude Project and a workflow-redesign document, that self-paced videos never give you.
Is the Anthropic exam fee included?
No. The certification exam is conducted separately by Anthropic through Pearson VUE and its fee of $99 is paid directly at registration. Anthropic currently runs certification registration through its Partner Academy, in the final week we walk you through the official registration and scheduling process step by step, plus exam-day rules and the retake policy.
How do the mock exams work?
You sit two full-length, timed mock exams that mirror the real format (multiple-choice and multiple-response, 120 minutes). After each one you get a domain-wise score report, exactly the way the real Pearson VUE score report breaks down your percent-correct by domain, so your final revision targets your actual weak areas.
What if I miss a live session?
Every session is recorded and you get lifetime access to the recordings, along with the lab files, question bank and community. You can catch up any time and still join the next weekend live.
