Do I need a paid Claude account?

A paid Claude subscription is recommended for participating students. Having a paid account will provide access to additional features and capabilities that will enhance your learning experience, especially as we explore computer-use and agentic workflows.

Claude offers a paid plan for $20/month, which students may choose to subscribe to for the duration of the program.

While technology requirements can evolve, our recommendation is to have access to the tools being taught so you can fully participate in the hands-on learning and implementation portions of the certification.
