If you're looking for how to schedule the "Cloud Certified Architect" exam, this is the one; the official code is CCAR-F.
Before you book
- ID: bring a valid, unexpired government photo ID. The name must match your registration exactly; ask Anthropic's certification support to fix a name before you schedule.
- Accommodations: if you need them, get them approved by Pearson VUE first, then book.
- Timing: pick a date that leaves room for at least one full timed practice exam. Our 2-week study plan ends with two.
Changing, missing or retaking
You can cancel or reschedule up to 24 hours before your appointment. Changes inside 24 hours, a no-show or arriving too late all cost you the fee, and you register again. If you don't pass, waiting periods apply before you can retake. Cost and retake rules, or the full exam guide.
