What you'll learn

It’s easy to get a Claude agent running and hard to make it dependable. Loops stop at the wrong time, subagents miss information, and important rules get skipped. In this course, Claude Certified Architect - Foundations: Agentic Architecture and Orchestration, you’ll gain the ability to build agents and multi-agent systems that behave the same way every time. These are the skills tested by the largest domain (27%) of the CCAR-F exam. First, you’ll explore the agentic loop and learn how an agent decides what to do next and when it’s finished. Next, you’ll discover how to coordinate multiple agents: passing context between them, running them in parallel, and enforcing business rules with hooks instead of prompt instructions. Finally, you’ll learn how to break large jobs into the right-sized pieces and how to resume, fork, or restart a session as work continues over days. When you’re finished with this course, you’ll have the skills and knowledge of agentic architecture and orchestration needed to build production-ready agents with Claude and answer Domain 1 questions with confidence.
