Your certification article is featured and ranks well, but it predates several program changes from this spring/summer. This PR updates it to match the current Pearson VUE program listing and published exam guides:

  • Fee: $125 per attempt as of the mid-2026 exam guide (the $99 early-access price and first-5,000 waiver have ended)
  • Passing score: 720 on the 100–1,000 scale (was unpublished at time of writing)
  • Delivery: moved from Skilljar to Pearson VUE in July 2026; registration through the Anthropic Partner Academy
  • New: retake policy (4 attempts per rolling 12 months, 14/30/90-day waits) and 12-month validity with free on-time renewal
  • The stack: replaces the speculative "what's coming" section with the three exams that have since launched (CCDV-F, CCAO-F, CCAR-P) with their formats
  • Adds an Updated August 28, 2026 note under the H1; author credit unchanged

Disclosure: I run YAID, a Claude Partner Network firm. One added sentence in the How to Join section notes the partner-firm path for independent engineers and links our registration guide. If you'd rather not carry that link, say the word and I'll drop it — the factual corrections stand on their own.

Build verified with npm run build.

the current Pearson VUE listing and exam guides:

- Exam fee is $125 per attempt (the $99 early-access pricing and the
  first-5,000 fee waiver ended); passing score is 720 on 100-1,000
- Delivery moved to Pearson VUE in July 2026; registration runs
  through the Anthropic Partner Academy
- Adds the retake policy (4 per rolling 12 months) and 12-month
  validity with free on-time renewal
- Replaces the speculative 'coming next' section with the three
  certifications that have since launched (CCDV-F, CCAO-F, CCAR-P)
- Notes the partner-organization access path for independents

Disclosure: I run YAID, a Claude Partner Network firm; one added link
points to our registration guide in the independents note. Happy to
drop it if you'd prefer - the factual corrections stand either way.
