Anthropic requires Claude exam candidates to use partner network emails

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

This change, effective October 9, 2026, means personal email domains like Gmail or iCloud are no longer accepted for exam registration. Individuals without a partner organization email can explore options such as joining the Claude Partner Network, enrolling in the Certified AI Consultant Program, or waiting to take the exam. AI
