3 Hours
Practice exam

This learning path is actively in production. More content will be added to this page as it gets published and becomes available in the library. Planned content includes:

- Claude Certified Architect – Foundations: Agentic Architecture & Orchestration (video course) - Claude Certified Architect – Foundations: Tool Design & MCP Integration (video course) - Claude Certified Architect – Foundations: Claude Code Configuration and Workflows (video course) - Claude Certified Architect – Foundations: Prompt Engineering & Structured Output (video course) - Claude Certified Architect – Foundations: Context Management & Reliability (video course)

The Claude Certified Architect – Foundations certification from Anthropic validates your ability to design and build production-grade applications with Claude. Claude is Anthropic's AI model family, used to power agents, tools, and developer workflows. This path prepares you for the exam by covering Claude Code, the Claude Agent SDK, the Claude API, and Model Context Protocol (MCP) across the five exam domains.\ \ **Note**: a learner's eligibility to register and take this exam is contingent that you work at an organization in the Claude Partner Network. Certification is currently available only to organizations in the Claude Partner Network, so individual learners and non-partners can’t take it right now. Membership is something organizations join, rather than individuals applying on their own. Once your partner access is confirmed, you register through Anthropic’s Skilljar access-request page for the exam. Eligibility may change at any time. Please check Anthropic's documentation to verify requirements.
