Three tiers. One progression.
Built for working developers.
Learn the entire curriculum free. Earn your first credential free. Upgrade to professional tiers only when you’re ready to prove serious mastery — at a fraction of what AWS charges for a single exam.
A credential employers actually respect.
Code2Vibe certifications are practical, not multiple-choice. Every tier requires you to demonstrate real skill using real tools on real problems. That’s why the credential carries weight in hiring conversations.
Practical, not theoretical
Every certification includes a hands-on practical component. No fill-in-the-blank multiple choice. You prove you can use Claude Code and Antigravity to ship working software.
Verifiable digital credentials
Every Code2Vibe certification includes a cryptographically verifiable credential with a unique URL. LinkedIn-ready. Employers can verify authenticity in seconds.
Priced for working developers
The Vibe Engineer certification costs less than half a single AWS professional exam. The Vibe Architect costs less than a standard AWS certification. We price for the people taking them.

Certification FAQ
Do I need to take the tiers in order?
No. You can skip directly to the Vibe Engineer or Vibe Architect exams if you’re confident in your skills. That said, we recommend completing the free Vibe Coder certification first to validate your foundations — it’s free and takes about 45 minutes.
How is this different from AWS or Google Cloud certifications?
AWS and GCP certifications validate platform-specific skills — how to use one vendor’s ecosystem. Code2Vibe certifications validate a cross-platform discipline that works across every AI coding tool. Our certifications are also radically more affordable — the Vibe Engineer at $149 is less than half the price of a single AWS professional exam.
Does the certification expire?
The Vibe Coder credential has lifetime validity. The Vibe Engineer and Vibe Architect credentials are valid for two years. After that, you can complete a short refresher assessment (free for existing certificate holders) to keep your credential current as tools evolve.
What if I fail the exam?
The Vibe Engineer tier includes one free retake. For Vibe Architect, the 48-hour capstone includes instructor feedback regardless of outcome, and you can revise and resubmit once at no additional cost. We want you to succeed — the exam is designed to be challenging but achievable if you’ve done the work.
Can I put this on my LinkedIn?
Yes. Every certification includes a LinkedIn-ready badge and a verifiable credential URL that LinkedIn recognizes natively. When you list it on your profile, recruiters and hiring managers can click through and verify authenticity in seconds.
Are team and enterprise rates available?
Yes. We offer bulk seat pricing for teams of 5+ and custom enterprise packages with admin dashboards, cohort progress tracking, and instructor-led onboarding. Reach out through the community page or email teams@code2vibe.com for details.
