How much does the CCA-F exam cost?
$125 USD per attempt. The price rose from $99 to $125 on June 30, 2026. Every retake is the full fee.
Is the Claude certification free?
Not for most people. Global Premier partners get a 100% discount on all certification exams through December 31, 2026. Select and Preferred partners get 50% off. Registered-tier partners pay full price.
Is there a free voucher?
Not yet. Anthropic says a voucher storefront is "in progress", and bulk purchasing is not available yet.
Who can take the exam?
Only people at organizations in the Claude Partner Network. You must register with a partner email on a recognized company domain (personal email addresses do not work) and be at least 18.
Are the courses free?
The learning content on Anthropic Partner Academy needs only a free Skilljar account. Everything on this site is free too: the study guide, 60 practice questions and videos.
Is there an official practice exam?
No. The earlier practice exam was retired. The official exam guide includes sample questions instead.
How much does renewal cost?
On-time renewal is free: a non-proctored assessment on Partner Academy. If the credential lapses, you pay the full fee again.
