About this Award and Achievement
Claude Certified Developer: Foundations is a certificate from Anthropic. It shows that the holder can build, integrate and ship applications, agents and workflows on Anthropic's Claude platform at a foundational level.
Anthropic says the exam is aimed at software engineers with one to five years of experience and at least six months of hands-on work with Claude or a similar system. That experience is recommended and is not required.
My certificate was issued on 10 November 2026 and is valid until 10 November 2027. The badge is issued through Credly, where anyone can check that it is genuine.
