What it prepares you for
Four technology pillars
The certification validates working knowledge across four technology pillars: Claude Code, the Agent SDK, the Claude API, and the Model Context Protocol (MCP). Every exam question is grounded in a realistic production scenario, not theory.

- Multiple choice — one correct answer and three plausible distractors.
- Structure
- Scenario-based. Four scenarios drawn from a pool of six, each driving a set of questions.

Who it is for
Architects and senior engineers going to production
Solution architects and senior engineers with hands-on experience across the Claude API, the Agent SDK, Claude Code, and MCP, who are moving from pilots to production — roughly six months or more of practical experience.
How the training runs
A live cohort, taught by a practitioner
The program runs as a live cohort, practitioner-taught. It pairs hands-on labs and runnable demos with a running capstone project, and full mock exams sat under realistic conditions.
