Register for the Exam

Register through Anthropic's official certification page. The exam is delivered via Pearson VUE (online proctored or at a Pearson VUE test center). Standard registration costs $125 (USD). Verify current pricing and eligibility before booking.

Go to Registration Portal

The steps, as section 11 of the official CCAR-F exam guide describes them:

  1. Open the certification page for the exam on the Anthropic Partner Academy and review the exam details.
  2. Download the exam guide and review the Certification Terms and Conditions and the Certification Exam Policy before registering.
  3. Register and complete checkout. The guide states that the fee shown at checkout reflects any discount that applies to your partner tier.
  4. Follow the confirmation instructions to create your Pearson VUE account, then sign in to schedule your exam session.
  5. Choose a date and select online proctoring or a Pearson VUE test center.
  6. Cancel or reschedule up to 24 hours before your appointment. The guide states that changes made within 24 hours forfeit the exam fee. Pearson VUE's Anthropic exam page states 48 hours for test center appointments. Check your Pearson VUE account for the deadline on your booking.

Section 12 of the guide adds two rules. The name on your government-issued photo ID must match the name on your registration exactly, and the guide gives certifications-support@anthropic.com for corrections before you schedule. Accommodations must be requested and approved by Pearson VUE before you schedule your appointment.

Once your date is set, the practice bank is 400 scenario-based questions across all five domains, with an explanation on every answer, for $49.

Not sure you're ready? Find out before you spend $125.

The official CCAR-F (also written CCA-F) exam costs $125. A failed attempt means another $125. Our independent practice platform is $49: 400 domain-weighted, scenario-based questions, a full 60-question timed simulation, and a free readiness diagnostic. That's less than the cost of a second exam attempt.

What you pay, and who you pay it to

  • Official exam fee, paid to Anthropic / Pearson VUE$125
  • Second attempt, if you fail, paid to Anthropic / Pearson VUE$125
  • This practice platform, paid to us$49

We don't sell the exam and we can't register you for it; that's done through the Anthropic Partner Academy and Pearson VUE. What $49 buys is 400 practice questions and a full timed simulation, so your first attempt is your only attempt.
