Dear learner,

Did you hear what happened in the cert world in June? Because our data caught some things worth passing along.

Anthropic's new cert skipped the queue.

CCA-F, the Claude Certified Architect, launched in late May. By June it was already the #7 most-studied cert on our platform. New certs usually wait years for that. This one walked straight in.

Then Microsoft did some spring cleaning.

Eight certifications retired in one month. AI-900, AI-102, DP-100, and five more quietly shown the door. If you hold a Microsoft cert, you'll want to see the list.

AZ-500 is having its farewell tour.

It retires August 31, and the crowds have shown up: it jumped from #8 to #6 last month. If it was sitting on your someday list, this is the window.

People studied 2x more on weekdays than weekends. Do you do that too?

That's from nearly 16,000 hands-on hours logged in June, mostly an hour at a time, around work. And one more pattern we're still working out: people buy Azure, but they practice on AWS.

There's more in the full report. Read it here:
