Course Overview

Become a Claude Certified Architect

This track prepares you for Anthropic's official Claude Certified Architect — Foundations exam: a scenario-based certification for solution architects who design and ship production applications on Claude.

The Five Exam Domains

You will master all five tested domains: Agent Architecture & Orchestration, Tool Design & MCP Integration, Claude Code Configuration & Workflows, Prompt Engineering & Structured Output, and Context Management & Reliability.

What You Will Learn

Design agentic loops that terminate on stop_reason instead of fragile text parsing. Build hub-and-spoke multi-agent systems with isolated context. Enforce business rules with deterministic hooks, not hopeful prompts. Write tool descriptions that route correctly, return structured errors, and integrate MCP servers. Configure Claude Code with CLAUDE.md hierarchies, skills, plan mode and CI/CD. Get reliable structured output with tool_use, JSON Schema and validation-retry loops. And manage context, escalation and provenance for production reliability.

How It Works

Short, focused courses move from fundamentals through each domain to a capstone of the real exam scenarios and the anti-patterns that cost candidates points. Every lesson is grounded in the official Agent SDK, MCP, Claude Code and prompt-engineering documentation.

What Is the Claude Certified Architect Cert?

A14 lessons

Get oriented: what the certification proves, how the exam works, the five domains, scoring, and who should take it.

Introduction to Agentic Systems

A24 lessonsPRO

What makes a system truly agentic, model-driven decisions versus hard-coded trees, and the loop at the heart of every agent.

Claude Models & API Foundations

A24 lessonsPRO

The bedrock every architect needs: the model family, the shape of an API request, stop reasons, and how tokens and context work.

The Claude Agent SDK

B14 lessonsPRO

Build agents the right way: SDK building blocks, defining agents, spawning subagents with the Task tool, and least-privilege tool access.

Agentic Loops & Termination

B14 lessonsPRO

The single most tested idea: terminate on stop_reason, never by parsing text or capping iterations. Loop design done right.

Designing Effective Tools

B14 lessonsPRO

Tool descriptions are the primary selection mechanism. Write descriptions that route correctly and never overlap.

Structured Error Responses

B14 lessonsPRO

Generic errors block recovery; structured errors enable intelligent routing. Categorize, flag retryability and return partial results.

Tool Allocation & Built-in Tools

B14 lessonsPRO

How many tools per agent, controlling output with tool_choice, and Claude Code's built-in tools for incremental investigation.

Claude Code Fundamentals

B14 lessonsPRO

What Claude Code is, interactive versus headless use, the edit loop, and persisting knowledge with memory and compact.

CLAUDE.md Hierarchy & Rules

B14 lessonsPRO

Configure Claude with layered instructions: user, project and directory CLAUDE.md, the @path import syntax, and path-scoped rules.

Prompt Engineering for Architects

B14 lessonsPRO

Explicit criteria beat vague instructions. Define what to report versus ignore, set severity levels, and cut false positives.

Few-Shot Prompting

B14 lessonsPRO

Two to four targeted examples make output consistent and handle edge cases — without the model merely repeating them.

Multi-Agent Orchestration

B24 lessonsPRO

Coordinate specialists with a hub-and-spoke coordinator. Master context isolation — subagents do not inherit the coordinator's history.

Hooks & Workflow Enforcement

B24 lessonsPRO

When failure has legal, financial or safety cost, prompts aren't enough. Use hooks and programmatic preconditions for deterministic guarant…

Sessions & Task Decomposition

B24 lessonsPRO

Fixed pipelines versus adaptive decomposition, multi-pass strategies, and managing sessions with resume and fork.

Model Context Protocol (MCP)

B24 lessonsPRO

Integrate external systems through MCP: tools, resources and prompts; project versus user scope; and secrets done safely.

Commands, Skills & Plan Mode

B24 lessonsPRO

Extend Claude Code with custom commands and skills, isolate verbose output, and know when to plan versus execute directly.

Claude Code in CI/CD

B24 lessonsPRO

Run Claude Code in pipelines: non-interactive mode, structured JSON output, isolated review sessions, and reliable test generation.

Structured Output with tool_use & JSON Schema

B24 lessonsPRO

Guarantee machine-readable output with tool_use and JSON Schema. Design required versus optional fields and extensible enums.

Validation & Retry Loops

B24 lessonsPRO

Validate structured output and retry with feedback. Know when retry helps, when it can't, and how independent review beats self-review.

Context Management Essentials

B24 lessonsPRO

The model keeps no state — you send full history every turn. Manage summarization risk, the lost-in-the-middle effect and output bloat.

Escalation & Error Propagation

B24 lessonsPRO

Escalate on clear triggers — not sentiment or self-rated confidence. Propagate structured error context and recover locally when you can.

Provenance & Human Oversight

C14 lessonsPRO

Preserve claim-to-source mappings, handle conflicting data with dates, and use stratified sampling because aggregate metrics hide failures.

The Exam Scenarios

C14 lessonsPRO

Walk through all eight exam scenarios end to end, mapping each to the domains and patterns it tests.

Anti-Patterns Masterclass

C14 lessonsPRO

The wrong answers that cost points. Every major anti-pattern, why it's tempting, and the correct architecture instead.

Mock Exam & Test-Taking Strategy

C14 lessonsPRO

Bring it together: how scenario questions are scored, how to read them, eliminate wrong answers, and a full mock walkthrough.

FAQ
