Claude Certified Associate – Foundations

For professionals who use Claude day to day and need to show they can apply it productively, safely and accurately.

The associate-level credential covers everyday, non-engineering use of Claude: prompting that reproduces, working with documents, verifying output, and knowing where the model should not be trusted. Our material focuses on practised, repeatable workflows rather than trivia.
