Claude Certified Architect Foundations (CCA-F) Exam is Anthropic’s first official technical certification, launched March 12, 2026 as part of the Claude Partner Network. It validates the ability to design, deploy, and maintain production-grade applications using the Claude ecosystem, including the Claude Agent SDK, Claude Code, and the Model Context Protocol (MCP). This is an architecture-level credential — it tests system design decisions, not everyday Claude usage or prompt trivia.
WHO IT IS FOR
- Solution architects building production applications with Claude
- AI developers shipping agentic systems using the Claude Agent SDK and MCP
- DevOps and platform engineers integrating Claude Code into CI/CD pipelines
- Engineering leads managing Claude-enhanced teams and deployment standards
Recommended experience: at least 6 months of hands-on experience with the Claude API and Claude Code.

EXAM DETAILS
Format: 60 multiple-choice questions, scenario-based Duration: 120 minutes Passing Score: 720 (scaled score of 100-1,000) Exam Fee: USD 99 Languages: English Delivery: Online proctored or in-person testing center Structure: 6 production scenarios, 4 of which are randomly selected per sitting. All questions are anchored to those scenarios.
EXAM STYLE
This is not a documentation quiz. Every question places you inside a realistic production scenario — a broken agent loop, a poorly scoped tool schema, a system under load — and asks you to make the correct architectural call. Candidates who only read documentation passively tend to underperform. Scenario-based practice is essential.
PREPARATION

- Building with the Claude API (flagship course, 8+ hours)
- Claude Code (available on Coursera via Vanderbilt University)

Been using these practice tests to prep for the Claude CCA-F exam and honestly couldn’t be happier with them. A lot of the questions felt very close to what actually showed up on the real exam, which made a huge difference. The fact that new questions drop every week keeps things fresh and stops you from just memorizing the same set over and over. Really appreciate the effort that goes into keeping this updated. Highly recommend it to anyone serious about passing the CCA-F

These Claude CCA-F practice tests were genuinely eye opening, they showed me just how much I still didn’t know even after going through the video course. It wasn’t just a bunch of questions thrown at you, it actually helped me identify the specific areas I was weak in and let me go back and focus on those. The ability to review marked questions and revisit the ones I got wrong was a huge plus, made the whole study process feel a lot more structured. The explanations for each answer were clear and actually made sense, not just a one liner telling you what the right answer is. Honestly thought the video course alone would be enough but these tests proved otherwise. Really glad I added this to my prep, made a noticeable difference
