What Tellus provides
Eligible participants receive facilitated access through Tellus Consulting's participation in the Claude Partner Network, subject to applicable Anthropic program requirements.
We help eligible participants find the appropriate certification pathway and navigate official exam registration through Anthropic's certification program and Pearson. Anthropic exam fees are separate from the Tellus program access fee.
Participants can use relevant Partner Academy curriculum covering topics such as Claude fundamentals, the Claude API, Claude Code, prompting, agents, tool use, MCP, evaluation, AI safety, enterprise architecture, and production deployment.
Use Claude itself as a study partner to review concepts, explain difficult topics, generate personalized study plans, practice scenarios, identify weak areas, and reinforce API and architecture knowledge.
Your access may include Tellus-prepared certification roadmaps, study checklists, exam-domain summaries, recommended learning sequences, key-concept reviews, practice guidance, preparation tips, and relevant documentation links.
Simple pricing
Best for learners who want maximum flexibility. Pay month to month, prepare for as many Claude certifications as you want, and cancel anytime. This works well for people who may want one certification quickly or want ongoing access to continue learning.
Best for learners who want to set a certification goal and work toward it over a three-month period. The pace can be fast or gradual depending on how many certifications they plan to complete. This works well for people with a defined window to accomplish their certification goal.

Your credential
After passing an exam, candidates receive an official digital credential through Credly that can be shared on LinkedIn, résumés, professional websites, portfolios, and email signatures.
Anthropic currently states that certifications are valid for 12 months. Candidates who renew on time can complete Anthropic's renewal process rather than retaking the full examination. Your certification belongs to you, not Tellus.
