The standard registration fee for the CCA Foundations exam is $99 USD, paid directly to Anthropic when you schedule your session. Anthropic is also running an early-access program that offers free exam registration to the first 5,000 employees at partner companies — if your employer participates in that program and registration slots remain, you may be able to sit the exam at no cost.
The free tier is capacity-limited to a fixed number of registrants, and early-access terms can change without much notice. Before you book, verify current availability and pricing on Anthropic's official registration page — especially if you're planning around the free slot rather than the $99 fee.
Either way, $99 (or your time, if you qualify for the free tier) is real cost riding on a single attempt, and a mandatory waiting period applies if you need to retake the exam. Before you book, it's worth getting an honest read on where you stand: our free 10-question diagnostic scores you across all five domains against the 720/1,000 passing standard in about five minutes, so you can decide whether to schedule now or spend a few more weeks with our free practice questions first.
