THE LADDER

From enrollment to Founding Architect

It's a climb, one step at a time. The exam-fee guarantee ran on a first-come, first-served cap of 100, and Cohort 01 closed with 94 enrolled complete. Numbers go to the first 10 who pass — there's no shortcut.

  1. Founding Engineer enrollment

    Cohort 01 enrollment just needed a name and email, and the Claude Code learning path opened as soon as you signed up. Direct enrollment is closed for now.

  2. CCAR-F exam fee guarantee

    The exam-fee guarantee ran on a first-come, first-served cap of 100, and every Cohort 01 member was covered. CCAR-F is an official Anthropic credential — recognized as work experience at AI companies abroad and shown as a certification on LinkedIn profiles.

  3. Founding Architect (BF-001–010)

    The first 10 to pass become Founding Architects, numbered BF-001 through BF-010.
