Built For
This is the senior credential, for practitioners who own the full lifecycle of a Claude solution and then have to defend every decision in it to executives, security and legal. Tap any card to see exactly why it fits.
Solution architects & platform engineers designing enterprise Claude deployments
Tap to learn moreThe exam tests your day job at its hardest: RAG design, protocol selection, authN/authZ gaps, observability at scale and cost–latency–accuracy trade-offs. We drill each on realistic enterprise cases.
AI/ML engineers & technical leads owning discovery → design → deployment → governance
Tap to learn moreProfessional-level questions assume you carry the whole lifecycle. The capstone forces you through it end to end, and the mock review board makes you defend it out loud.
CCAR-F holders stepping up to the Professional tier
Tap to learn moreFoundations certified your system-design judgment; Professional adds the enterprise layer, RAG, evaluation frameworks, compliance (GDPR/HIPAA/FedRAMP) and stakeholder management. The natural next rung.
Consultants & pre-sales architects presenting trade-offs to executives, legal and security
Tap to learn moreStakeholder Communication & Lifecycle is a full 14% of this exam, the only Claude credential that tests it. You practice discovery, ADRs and trade-off storytelling until they're second nature.
Certification & Partnerships
Every module maps directly to the current public CCAR-P exam blueprint, v1.0, effective July 2026, including the stakeholder and governance domains most technical programs skip entirely. A typical self-paced video platform gives you recordings. A generic question bank gives you MCQs. Neither gives you a certified trainer, a defended capstone architecture pack, two domain-scored mocks, or a walkthrough of the real Pearson VUE registration. This program does.
Anthropic's highest credential: an official, proctored assessment that you can design, build and deliver production-grade Claude solutions, architecture, RAG, integration, evaluation, governance, compliance and stakeholder communication across the full lifecycle. 63 questions, 120 minutes, pass at a scaled 720/1000.
The certification exam is administered independently by Anthropic through Pearson VUE; the exam fee ($175) is paid separately and is not included in program tuition. Registration currently runs through Anthropic's Partner Academy, we walk you through the official registration process step by step.
Platforms & exams covered
Curriculum
Sixteen live sessions across 8 weekends, starting from a business problem and ending with a capstone you personally defend. Every module carries its real exam weight, with Integration at 19% and Solution Design at 17% leading the way, and nothing in between gets skipped.
Where every engagement starts: translating a business problem into a Claude architecture you can defend on value, cost and SLA.
Claude API + SDKs
Model economics and prompt architecture for systems with real traffic: caching, modular prompts and guardrail design.
Claude API + SDKsPrompt Caching & Skills
The exam's single most technical territory: retrieval design matched to data shape and query pattern, and the failure modes that follow a bad refresh.
RAG Stacks (Embeddings · Vector Stores)
Connecting Claude to the enterprise without creating the breach: protocol selection, least privilege and capability audits.
Claude Agent SDKMCP
Proving the system works, and knowing first when it stops: metrics, eval datasets, A/B methodology and diagnosis.
Evals & Observability
The judgment layer enterprises pay architects for: guardrails, human-in-the-loop, and regulation-specific scenario clinics.
AWS BedrockGCP Vertex AI
The domain no other program teaches: structured discovery, ADRs, trade-off storytelling, rehearsed in a mock architecture review board.
Claude API + SDKs
Final capstone defense, two full timed mocks with domain score reports, and the official registration walkthrough.
Claude API + SDKs
Portfolio
Each project, drawn as the system you build: the real tools, and the data moving through them. Scroll; they animate.
A complete business-to-architecture translation for a realistic enterprise case: patterns, orchestration, value pillars and SLAs.
Chunking, indexing and retrieval matched to the data, with the metrics, eval dataset and A/B methodology to prove it works.
Protocol selection (MCP vs API vs A2A), an authN/authZ gap analysis and a least-privilege redesign of an agent fleet.
A governance package covering guardrails, HITL design and GDPR/HIPAA/FedRAMP considerations for your capstone system.
Architecture Decision Records plus the executive-ready story of why — the Stakeholder domain made tangible.
Your capstone presented to a mock review board that pushes back, recorded for your interview arsenal, plus two domain-scored mock reports.

Fees & Batch
Claude Certified Architect Prep Course, Professional (CCAR-P)
EMI options available · Corporate/team batches, contact us
Put it in perspective: CCAR-P is Anthropic's highest credential, aimed at the best-paid role in the Claude ecosystem, the enterprise AI architect. This is 140+ hours of mentor-reviewed active learning, a defended capstone consulting pack and two domain-scored mocks: the full path to the top credential, not a self-paced video library.
Where this sits
Four Claude credentials. Start where you are.
Exam fees are paid directly to Anthropic and are not part of the course fee. Developer proves you can build it; Architect proves you can design it.
Optional add-ons
The course is complete on its own. Add one only if it fills a gap. Nothing is pre-selected.

Claude Certified Architect – Professional is Anthropic's highest credential: an official, proctored exam validating that you can design, build and deliver production-grade Claude solutions end to end, including RAG, integration, evaluation, governance, compliance and stakeholder communication. 63 questions in 120 minutes via Pearson VUE, passing at a scaled 720/1000, across 7 domains.
Foundations tests system-level design judgment on six defined scenarios: agents, Claude Code, tools, structured output. Professional tests the enterprise lifecycle: RAG architecture, integration protocol and security decisions, evaluation frameworks, regulatory compliance and stakeholder management. Foundations is a strong stepping stone but not a prerequisite, you can sit CCAR-P directly.
Anthropic recommends 3+ years in systems architecture or platform engineering and 6+ months of Claude (or comparable LLM) systems in production. There are no mandatory prerequisites for the exam. Our cohort assumes you can read architectures and code confidently; the capstone will stretch you regardless of seniority.
No. The certification exam is conducted separately by Anthropic through Pearson VUE and its fee of $175 is paid directly at registration. Anthropic currently runs certification registration through its Partner Academy, in the final week we walk you through the official registration and scheduling process step by step, plus exam-day rules and the retake policy.
Across the 8 weeks you assemble a full enterprise pack, solution architecture, RAG design, security review, eval plan, compliance assessment and ADRs, for a realistic case. In Week 8 you present it to a mock review board of trainers who challenge your decisions, exactly like a real architecture review (and like the judgment the exam tests). The session is recorded so you can use it in interviews.
Every session is recorded and you get lifetime access to the recordings, along with the lab files, question bank and community. You can catch up any time and still join the next weekend live.
The next live batch starts Sat 28 Nov, and enrolment closes Fri 27 Nov. Classes run live on Saturday and Sunday, 8–11 PM IST.
