Claude Certified Architect Exam Cost and Retake Rules

• The exam: $125 USD per attempt.
• Claude Partner Network membership: free for organizations bringing Claude to market.
• Anthropic's official prep courses on the Partner Academy: free.
• On-time renewal after 12 months: free (how renewal works).
• A lapsed credential: the full exam again, at the full fee.

• After a 1st attempt that doesn't pass: wait 14 days.
• After a 2nd: wait 30 days.
• After a 3rd: wait 90 days.

You can sit the exam at most four times in a rolling 12 months. The limits apply per exam, so not passing this one doesn't stop you registering for a different Claude certification.

• Cancelling or rescheduling inside 24 hours of the appointment.
• Not showing up, or arriving after the late-arrival window.
• Declining the confidentiality agreement at the start of the exam: the session ends with no refund.
