Built 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.

Certification & Partnerships
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.
Anthropic's official, proctored credential validating that you can build, integrate and ship production-grade Claude applications, agents and workflows, API integration, Agent SDK, Claude Code, prompt and context engineering, evals, security, and custom tools and MCP servers. 53 questions, 120 minutes, pass at a scaled 720/1000.
The certification exam is administered independently by Anthropic through Pearson VUE; the exam fee ($125) 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
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.
The mechanics the biggest exam domain is built on: you exercise every major API capability in code the first weekend.
Claude APIPython
Realtime vs batch, caching strategy and token budgeting, the trade-off questions the exam loves and production demands.
Claude APIMessage Batches API
From single calls to autonomous systems: agent loops, stop_reason control flow, subagents and hooks.
Claude Agent SDKLangGraph
You write tool schemas and descriptions that models actually select correctly, then author and deploy your own MCP server.
MCPJSON Schema / Pydantic
Small domain, easy marks: Claude Code's components and configuration in one focused session.
Claude Code
Controlling model behavior at scale: preventing context drift, structuring prompts across components, defending your parser.
Claude APIJSON Schema / Pydantic
You attack your own agent, then fix it: injection defense, guardrail layering, hooks, secrets and least privilege.
Claude Agent SDK
Trace analysis and failure isolation, then two full timed mocks with domain score reports and the official registration walkthrough.
Claude APIGitHub
Portfolio
Each project, drawn as the system you build: the real tools, and the data moving through them. Scroll; they animate.
A working app exercising the Messages API, streaming, vision and caching — the foundation the biggest exam domain tests.
A tool-using agent with a correct agentic loop, subagent delegation and guardrail hooks that block destructive actions.
A deployable MCP server exposing a real service as tools, reusable across Claude apps and maintained independently.
Documented before/after token and cost metrics from caching and batch processing — the trade-off story interviewers ask for.
An injection-attack write-up on your own agent, with the guardrails and input handling that fixed it.
Two full timed mocks in the real 53-question format, with percent-correct per domain like the real score report.

Fees & Batch
Claude Certified Developer Prep Course (CCDV-F)
EMI options available · Corporate/team batches, contact us
Put it in perspective: AI engineering is the fastest-growing developer specialization, and CCDV-F is the vendor-official way to prove it. This is 100+ hours of mentor-reviewed active learning, 3 production builds and two domain-scored mocks, the full path to the 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 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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
