This course contains the use of artificial intelligence.
The Claude Certified Developer – Foundations (CCDV-F) certification is a foundational technical credential for professionals who build, integrate, and deliver Claude-powered applications, agents, and workflows. It validates a developer's ability to construct agents and workflows, integrate Claude through APIs and SDKs, implement custom tools, develop Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers, configure Claude Code, evaluate and debug application behavior, select and optimize Claude models, engineer prompts and context, and apply security and safety controls.
This video training course provides a structured and comprehensive path to mastering the CCDV-F exam objectives through practical, developer-focused lessons. The course explores agent and workflow design, the Hub-and-Spoke coordination model, custom agent loops, API and client SDK integration, function calling, tool implementation, error handling, structured outputs, MCP server development, and Claude Code configuration. It also examines evaluation strategies, testing and debugging techniques, prompt and context engineering, model selection, token and cost optimization, prompt caching, application security, prompt injection defenses, and the secure management of credentials and sensitive information.
Throughout the course, learners gain practical knowledge of agents and workflows, application integration, Claude Code, evaluation, testing, debugging, model optimization, prompt and context engineering, security, custom tools, and MCP development. The training explores how developers can use Claude models, APIs, SDKs, Skills, tools, and MCP servers to create dependable applications and agentic systems, while managing context effectively, validating structured outputs, analyzing application traces, handling API and tool errors, controlling costs and latency, applying least-privilege access, and protecting sensitive data.
Whether you're building your first Claude-powered application or preparing for the official CCDV-F certification exam, this course gives you the practical, hands-on foundation to do it with confidence.
