Every Job Posting Now Says "Experience With LLMs." Here's How You Prove Yours.
Ship production Claude apps, agents and MCP servers, then put a credential behind it
Every AI engineering job posting now asks for "LLM experience," and almost nobody can prove it on paper. This live 6-week weekend cohort gets you Anthropic's official Claude Certified Developer credential, the vendor-issued proof that separates you from a hundred other resumes claiming the same buzzwords. Applications and Integration alone is a third of the real exam, so a third of this course is spent there too. You will ship a production API app, an Agent SDK agent and your own MCP server, then sit two full timed mocks before exam day. Python or TypeScript required.
Next live batch starts 19 September 2026 · ₹12,999₹19,999
- EMI available
- Only 60 seats
- Study in the exact proportion the exam is graded in. Applications and Integration is 33.1% of it, and it gets the most class time here too
- Leave with three real builds on your GitHub, a production Claude app, a guardrailed Agent SDK agent, and your own MCP server
- Sit 2 full-length timed mocks with domain-wise score reports, then get walked through Pearson VUE registration step by step*
*The certification exam is administered independently by Anthropic via Pearson VUE; the exam fee ($125) is paid separately and is not included in tuition.

Who this program is for
Anthropic built this credential for engineers who actually ship: API integration, agents, tools, MCP, evals and security. If one of these cards is your current job description, this is your track. Tap any card to see exactly why it fits.
Software engineers (1–5 yrs) integrating LLMs into real applications
Tap to learn moreYou already write production code. This adds the Claude-specific layer the exam tests: API mechanics, batch vs realtime, caching, structured output and configuration management, with labs, not slides.
AI/ML engineers & technical leads shipping agents and workflows
Tap to learn moreAgents & Workflows plus Tools & MCPs are 25%+ of the exam. You build a real Agent SDK agent with hooks and your own MCP server, then defend the trade-offs the exam asks about.
Backend & full-stack developers moving into AI engineering roles

All 8 CCDV-F exam domains, weighted exactly like the exam
Twelve live sessions across 6 weekends. The real blueprint is brutally uneven: Applications and Integration is 33.1% while Claude Code is only 3.1%. We teach in that exact proportion and tell you the weight of every module up front, so nothing you study is wasted effort. Every module ends in something you ship.

Certification & Partnerships
The official credential this program prepares you for
Every module maps directly to the current public CCDV-F exam blueprint, v1.0, effective July 2026, weighting included. A typical self-paced video platform gives you recordings. A generic question bank gives you MCQs. Neither hands you a certified trainer, three shipped builds on your GitHub, two domain-scored mocks, or a walkthrough of the real Pearson VUE registration. This program does.

Where This Takes You
The engineering roles this credential unlocks
Right now, there are more LLM engineering job openings than engineers who can prove they belong in them. A vendor-official Claude credential, backed by a shipped agent, app and MCP server on your GitHub, is exactly what moves your resume from the pile to the shortlist.
1
AI Engineer 🔥 Highest Demand
The default title for engineers who ship LLM-powered systems.
Own Claude integrations end to end: API, agents, tools, cost and reliability.
2
LLM Application Developer ⚡ Fastest Growing
Turn model capabilities into products users pay for.
Build and harden Claude apps with streaming, structured output and defensive parsing.
3
Agent Engineer 🛠️ Frontier Role
The newest, scarcest specialization in AI engineering.
Design agentic loops, subagent systems and guardrails that survive production.
4
Integration / Platform Engineer 🏆 Mission Critical
Be the engineer who connects AI to everything else.
Ship MCP servers and tool layers that make models useful across the whole company stack.
5
AI Developer (Freelance / Contract) 🚀 Startup Favorite
Bill for production skills, not prompt tricks.
Deliver working Claude systems with the credential and GitHub portfolio to close clients.

Frequently asked questions
What exactly is the CCDV-F certification?
Claude Certified Developer – Foundations is Anthropic's official, proctored credential for engineers who build, integrate and ship Claude-powered applications, agents and workflows. The exam is 53 questions in 120 minutes via Pearson VUE, passing at a scaled 720/1000, across 8 domains, the biggest being Applications & Integration at 33.1%. This course prepares you for that exam in exact blueprint proportion.
What are the prerequisites?
You should be comfortable in Python or TypeScript and fluent with REST APIs and the command line. Anthropic recommends 1–5 years of software engineering and ~6 months of LLM experience for the exam, but there are no mandatory prerequisites, and the course itself starts from Claude API fundamentals, so motivated engineers slightly below that bar do fine.
How is this different from a self-paced video course or a question bank?
Most self-paced video platforms give you recordings, and question banks give you MCQs. This is a live cohort with certified trainers, blueprint-weighted modules, real hands-on labs, two full-length timed mocks with domain-wise score reports, and a walkthrough of the official Pearson VUE registration. And unlike generic LLM bootcamps that teach OpenAI-first patterns, everything here matches how the Claude API, Agent SDK and MCP actually behave, because that is what the exam tests.
Is the Anthropic exam fee included?
No. The certification exam is conducted separately by Anthropic through Pearson VUE and its fee of $125 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.
How do the mock exams work?
You sit two full-length, timed mock exams that mirror the real format (multiple-choice and multiple-response, 120 minutes). After each one you get a domain-wise score report, exactly the way the real Pearson VUE score report breaks down your percent-correct by domain, so your final revision targets your actual weak areas.
What if I miss a live session?
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.
