On July 8, 2026, Anthropic used the Claude Partner Network Connect event to finish something it started back in March. When the Claude Partner Network launched with a $100 million partner investment, Anthropic shipped one exam: Claude Certified Architect – Foundations. The announcement promised additional certifications for sellers, architects, and developers later in 2026.

That “later” arrived this week.

Anthropic now runs a four-exam portfolio across three role tracks. Three credentials are new at this launch window. The fourth, Architect Foundations, was already live but got repriced and folded into the formal portfolio page.

Here is the verified lineup from Anthropic Partner Academy, checked against the certification FAQ and the official exam guide PDFs on July 9, 2026:
