What you'll learn

  • Design agentic systems on Claude — loops, the stop_reason lifecycle, and tool use
  • Choose single- vs. multi-agent architectures and orchestration patterns correctly
  • Configure Claude Code with project memory files, rules, commands, skills, plan mode, and CI/CD
  • Design tools and JSON schemas that return reliable structured output instead of hallucinated fields
  • Balance cost, latency, and reliability when choosing models, context strategy, and orchestration

Description

Anthropic launched its first official technical certification - the Claude Certified Architect: Foundations (CCA-F) - and the exam is unlike a typical multiple-choice test. It drops you into real production situations and asks for the right architectural call. This course is built to get you ready for exactly that.


Most CCA-F material on the market is a wall of practice questions. This is a teaching course. We walk all five exam domains - Agentic Architecture & Orchestration (27%), Claude Code Configuration & Workflows (20%), Prompt Engineering & Structured Output (20%), Tool Design & MCP Integration (18%), and Context Management & Reliability (15%) - and we anchor every lesson to the six production scenarios the exam actually draws from: the customer support resolution agent, code generation with Claude Code, the multi-agent research system, developer productivity tools, Claude Code in CI/CD, and structured data extraction.


You'll learn to think like an architect, not a memorizer: how the agentic loop and the stop_reason lifecycle drive every agent; when to use the Claude API, the Agent SDK, Claude Code, or an MCP server; how to design tools and JSON schemas that don't hallucinate; and how to balance cost, latency, and reliability under real constraints. Each lesson pairs a clear, fully-narrated visual explanation with exam-style scenario questions and detailed answer rationales, so you don't just recognize the right answer - you understand why it's right and why the plausible distractors are wrong.


Whether you're a developer, a solutions architect, or an engineering lead with a few months of hands-on Claude experience, this course turns scattered knowledge into exam-ready judgment - and into skills you'll use the next time you ship something on Claude.

Who this course is for:

  • Developers and solutions architects preparing for the CCA-F exam, and engineering leads standardizing how their teams build on Claude
