What you'll learn
- Understand the full CCA-F exam blueprint: all 5 domains, their weights, the 6 scenarios, scoring, and what "partner-gated" access means today
- Master Domain 1 (27%): the agentic loop, coordinator and subagent patterns, hooks, enforcement, and session state
- Design effective tools and integrate MCP servers (Domain 2) the way the exam expects
- Configure Claude Code with confidence: memory-file hierarchies, slash commands, permissions, plan mode, and CI/CD workflows (Domain 3)
- Apply prompt engineering and structured output (Domain 4): explicit criteria, few-shot examples, JSON schemas, validation, and retry loops
- Manage context and reliability (Domain 5), dissect all 6 exam scenarios, and walk in with a distractor-spotting, time-budgeting exam-day plan

Description
This is the complete prep course for the Claude Certified Architect – Foundations (CCA-F) exam — every exam domain, all six scenarios, and a tested exam-day strategy, in one place.
The course maps 1:1 to the official exam blueprint:
Domain 1 (27%) — Agentic architecture & orchestration: the agentic loop, coordinators & subagents, hooks, enforcement, and session state.
Domain 2 (18%) — Tool design & MCP integration.
Domain 3 (20%) — Configuring Claude Code (memory files, slash commands, permissions), plus plan mode and Claude Code in CI/CD.
Domain 4 (20%) — Prompt engineering (explicit criteria + few-shot) and structured output (JSON schemas, validation, retry loops).
Domain 5 (15%) — Context management & reliability.
You'll then dissect all six exam scenarios with a worked question each, and finish with exam-day strategy: distractor anatomy, time budgeting, and the practice-exam score to aim for before you sit the real thing.
Honesty note: the public exam guide details Domain 1 in full; Domains 2–5 are mapped from official Anthropic and Claude Code documentation, kept to what they actually say. The exam is currently partner-gated, and Anthropic has announced broader developer certifications later in 2026 — this course gets you ready for day one.
Independent study material. Not affiliated with or endorsed by Anthropic. Whether you sit the exam now or once broader access opens, you will finish with a clear, confident mental model of how to architect agentic systems with Claude.
Who this course is for:
- Developers and AI engineers preparing for the Claude Certified Architect - Foundations (CCA-F) exam, and anyone who wants a structured, domain-by-domain understanding of building reliable agentic systems with Claude.
