Prepare for the Claude Certified Architect – Foundations (CCA-F) exam with a practical, architecture-focused course built around hands-on labs, production scenarios, practice questions, and full-length mock exams.
This course goes beyond memorizing terminology. You will learn how to evaluate requirements, identify the controlling constraint, recognize architecture risks, eliminate plausible distractors, and select the most proportionate Claude solution for each scenario. Throughout the course, you will explore the core concepts tested on the CCA-F exam, including Claude APIs, Claude Code, agentic workflows, Model Context Protocol, structured outputs, context management, multi-agent systems, permissions, hooks, reliability, scaling, and CI/CD automation.
WHAT YOU WILL LEARN
You will learn how to:
- Understand the CCA-F exam domains, scenarios, vocabulary, and question styles
- Design reliable agentic loops with tool calls, stopping conditions, and iteration controls
- Compare single-agent and multi-agent architectures
- Select coordinator, specialist, delegation, and orchestration patterns
- Manage sessions, context windows, compaction, recovery, and state
- Configure Claude Code for large codebases and enterprise development workflows
- Apply permissions, hooks, approval gates, and execution controls
- Integrate external tools and systems using Model Context Protocol
- Create production prompts with clear instructions, constraints, examples, and routing rules
- Design structured-output pipelines using JSON Schema, validation, and repair
