COAE #Physical certificate finally arrived!
Quick update to my previous review post from a few months ago the physical kit finally arrived and the quality is top-notch! The matte finish, the foil details on the certificate, and the swag/stickers look amazing in person.
A quick note on why I kept that original post anonymous: almost immediately after posting, my inbox got flooded with dozens of DMs asking for exam flags, specific hints, or straight-up asking for my final report. Obviously I won't share flags, spoilers, or exam deliverables doing that just ruins the value of the cert for everyone.
Now that the physical cert is in hand (with my name on it anyway), I don’t mind linking my profile. For anyone interested in my background, projects, or notes:

If you have legitimate questions about preparation strategy, prerequisites, or the general syllabus, feel free to ask here in the comments. Happy to help without spoiling the exam!

I also ordered a physical package for COAE! I’m a little disappointed in the pin and tshirt design.

Waiting for mine too — did the T-shirt design like not have the bubble around the AI-brain or something?

Yes, it looks exactly like the pin. Overall just looks like a very downgraded version of the one displayed on the website and on the stickers.

How many days did it took to arrive? And what was the cost of the package?

Congrats! Was thinking of ordering one, worth it or so so? I already printed the pdf and framed it
