- Practice Test 2: CCAR-P Exam Simulation
- Role play: Exam day coaching
- Extra review quiz: Reading Professional-level items
Requirements
- Hands-on experience building software and reading code and architecture diagrams
- A computer (Windows, macOS or Linux); the lessons show every tool on camera, and no paid subscription is required to follow along
- Some experience with the Claude API or Claude Code is helpful, but every term is explained when it first appears
Description
This course contains the use of artificial intelligence.
Prepare for the Claude Certified Architect – Professional (CCAR-P) exam, and learn to design, build and defend production Claude systems at enterprise scale.
This course is for people who already build software and want the judgment the Professional exam tests: choosing the architecture that best fits a stated constraint, and defending that choice to security, legal, finance and a sponsor. Every lesson teaches the principle first, then the current facts and features, shown live on a real desktop with real costs. The exam's wrong options are recurring traps (a bigger model, detecting instead of preventing, throwing away needed context), and you learn to spot them.
What you get
40 video lessons in 9 modules, plus the Extra exam simulation: about 13 hours of video. The modules follow the exam's seven domains and cover all 38 exam objectives: orientation, solution design and architecture, models, prompting and context engineering, integration, evaluation and production, governance, safety and risk, stakeholder communication and lifecycle, developer productivity and operations, and a capstone architecture review.
One running engagement: Harbor & Pine, a fictional insurer. Across the course you build its architecture package: a scoped and costed use case, a reference architecture, a tool and identity design, an evaluation and observability plan, a risk register and safety stack, a decision record and a team setup.
A quiz after every lesson, a summary quiz and a role play at the end of every module, to rehearse explaining and defending your decisions.
Two full practice tests of 63 questions each, matched to the exam blueprint (multiple choice and multiple response, 120 minutes, closed book), plus walkthrough videos that solve every answer of the first test. More than 400 original questions in all, each with an explanation of why every option is right or wrong, its domain and the lesson to review.
A downloadable student kit for lessons that have hands-on material: the files, templates, checklists and practice items used on screen.
Who this is for
Solution architects, senior engineers and technical leads who design and govern Claude at scale, and anyone preparing for the CCAR-P exam. You should be comfortable reading code and architecture diagrams. Experience with the Claude API or Claude Code helps, but every lesson explains its terms, and the first module shows how to check where you stand.
All questions are original and written for this course. The course is independent: it is not affiliated with or endorsed by Anthropic, and it contains no live exam content.
Who this course is for:
- Solution architects and senior engineers who design and govern Claude at enterprise scale
- Technical leads and consultants who must defend architecture decisions to security, legal, finance and sponsors
- Anyone preparing for the Claude Certified Architect – Professional (CCAR-P) exam
