Read the current guide

Credential ownership

Issued to you by Anthropic

The credential belongs to the individual. If you certify through a partner domain, it also contributes to that domain’s partner record.

Preparation and access

Know what we provide — and what we don’t.

Hydralogic AI enables learners to prepare for and take an Anthropic certification exam through our institute. We provide access to Anthropic's official Skilljar learning portal and guide you through preparation, registration and the official exam pathway. Anthropic's eligibility, identity and booking requirements still apply. You sit the official exam and pay Anthropic separately; our fee covers your preparation sprint or programme.

For this track we offer a Sprint ($99) with a study plan and timed mocks, Guided + Labs ($199) with hands-on labs, and the Production AI Engineer Programme ($999). The exam is booked with, paid to, and administered by Anthropic directly. Our preparation does not guarantee a passing result.
