You helped us prove this works and we're launching a formal framework to help others get to 720 passing and obtain the CCAF! Here’s what’s next, and what it means for you. 1. The new site is live: https://get720.com It introduces the Claude Certification Success Bootcamp, launching November 1. Focused on helping non-technicals obtain the CCAF, we're taking all we've learned and putting together a structured program. There are a few ways through it: join the community for connection and questions, do a self-paced DIY, or a fast track with live meetings and intensive study sessions. Accessing the Skool community is free, upgrade to a paid for hands on training and resources. Founding members (anyone who joined before October 1, 2026) keep access to everything FOR FREE as long as you need it. If you hit anything gated, message Anita. 2. Free webinar: Tuesday, October 20 at 5pm ET Alice, Shin (Hsin-Chih’s preferred name going forward), and I will cover the CCAF, the Bootcamp, and our study framework. 120+ people are already signed up. Know someone who’s curious? Send them here: https://get720.com 3. New faces in the Skool group We’re admitting new members who’ll be part of the conversation and may be a part of the Bootcamp. Please welcome them. You’ve been where they are, and your experience is what they need to hear. 4. Claude Study Cards has its own home: https://www.claudestudycards.com Your survey feedback was consistent: the cards were a big help and an integral part of how you studied. They’re now $29/month as a standalone and included in the paid Bootcamp tiers. Again, Founding members keep free access for as long as you need it. Same login as before. Tell me if anything breaks. 5. Affiliate links are coming You’re the reason we know there’s demand for this, and you’re our best cheerleaders. Each of you will get a personal affiliate link that earns commission on the Bootcamp and Claude Study Cards. Watch for an email later this week with your link and the details, so you can share it before the October 20 webinar.

Hi everyone, It's time to review and renew emails, decide if you want to continue on based on where you are with testing, and settle up on costs. Here is a listing of all the emails I have on file for SSAI. Most of you purchased a 3 month runway and some are now over that timeline. Review the two yellow columns for expiration dates: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1LeetUXEzLiQH63ck940bi65SXCcLjjwnhOsM7qvkYZo/edit?usp=sharing Here's what you need to decide by October 15th - do you want to continue on with the SSAI email address? This should be based on: - Have you passed the CCAF?  If so, do you want to continue on as part of Shift Smart AI (see below)? - If not, do you intend to take or retake?  And what is your timeline for this? - GOOD NEWS! We are now part of the CPN (they created a new tier which we instantly qualified for with 3 tested and we are inches away from getting the original tier of 10, which opens more benefits, resources, money). Attached are the CPN benefits, which include being listed on the Anthropic CPN website for referrals, support, early access to product and actual money to us based on client engagements. THIS is the reason to stay engaged with SSAI. Together, we get more, but it is an individual decision. I will be putting together the framework of what "Staying on with SSAI" means in the next month, but you will have some responsibilities, below. Review your email status and let me know by October 15th if you will be staying on or not. If we do not hear from you, your email will expire at the end of October and you will be removed from the system - whether you have tested or not. IF YOU CHOOSE TO STAY ON WITH SSAI, here are your responsibilities: 1. 1 - Must participate by supplying at a minimum 1 client engagement and testimonial annually, registered appropriately under SSAI to get us credit.  You still own your business and your pricing, but SSAI must be built into your agreement with your client in some way, even if just in name/as an affiliate so we get credit under the CPN.  These details are still being worked out and you can opt out at any time. 2. 2 - There will be a small revenue share back to SSAI for any business that comes from SSAI as a referral. We will be listed on the Anthropic CPN as an approved vendor.  If that referral leads to you, a revenue share in the 15-20% range will be required to be paid to SSAI.   3. 3 - The more you participate, the more we all benefit.  Those who participate and register client engagements that lead to money from Anthropic will share in that pool of funds. 4. 4. We will be extending emails quarterly for easier administrative path, so you will have a payment due for 3 months and for anything that is currently overdue.  I have been remiss in keeping up with this and have been charged extra.

The worst part is I live in a tiny apartment and don't have any rooms without words (or things) everywhere - art on walls, cat food shelves, bookshelves, etc. so I had to move to my balcony last minute after they said no to the room I planned to use. And then I forgot to remove my watch, so they messaged me during the test and made me move my laptop camera around a bunch to re-check the space. So during the test, every time someone drove by with loud radio or something, I stressed that they would invalidate my test. 😅😭 Definitely 0 out of 10, do not recommend starting the exam with that kind of last-minute stress. I wish there was a way we could have submitted room photos ahead of time so I could plan better. I probably should have put that in the feedback at the end, but I was just so glad to be done I skipped the surveys. 🙃 My journey: I started using Claude Co-Work and Claude Code in April as a non-coder. I reached out to join this group & take the test last weekend I used claudestudycards.com, claudecertificationguide.com, and the Purcell practice exam throughout the week to prep. You can all do it!

During my workshop I noticed that these two commands can be confusing (from Task 2.5) Here are short articles that explain them well: - Grep: Link to article  - Glob Link to article But the best way to learn it is to really use them in your terminal. Don't know how to do it? Just ask your Claude Code😉 You don't need to learn how to write the commands to pass the exam. But it'd be helpful and give you confidence knowing how to use them. Also they are very useful. If you still struggle with them, leave a comment or DM me. Have fun!
