Claude Certified Architect Courses
Guided, sequential learning paths to build practical skills. Work through lessons at your own pace and track your progress.
Claude Code 101: Claude Code in Action
A comprehensive course covering everything from coding assistant fundamentals to advanced hooks, MCP servers, GitHub integration, and the Claude Code SDK. Learn to set up, configure, and extend Claude Code for real-world development workflows.
Introduction to Model Context Protocol (MCP)
A comprehensive, hands-on course on the Model Context Protocol (MCP) — the open standard that connects Claude and other AI applications to external tools, data, and workflows. Learn MCP's architecture (host, client, server), the data and transport layers, JSON-RPC messaging, and the three server primitives (tools, resources, prompts), then build and test your own MCP server and client with the Python SDK. Covers client primitives, transports, security, and production patterns. Accurate to MCP spec 2025-06-18. Free to start.
Introduction to Subagents
A comprehensive, hands-on course on Claude subagents — specialized AI assistants that run in their own context window, do focused work, and return only a clean summary. Learn how subagents preserve context, when to delegate (and when not to), how to create custom subagents in Claude Code (.claude/agents) and the Claude Agent SDK (AgentDefinition), the built-in Explore/Plan/general-purpose agents, tool restriction, model selection, parallel vs sequential execution, and the orchestrator-worker patterns behind Anthropic's multi-agent research system. Verified against official Anthropic docs. Free to start.
Introduction to Agent Skills
A comprehensive, hands-on course on Claude Agent Skills — reusable SKILL.md files that teach Claude a task once so it applies your expertise automatically. Learn what skills are and the agentskills.io open standard, the SKILL.md format and full frontmatter (description, allowed-tools, disable-model-invocation, context: fork, paths), progressive disclosure and multi-file skills, dynamic context injection, how skills are discovered/matched/invoked, scope and precedence (enterprise/personal/project/plugin), skills vs CLAUDE.md vs subagents vs hooks vs MCP, sharing via git/plugins/managed settings, wiring skills into subagents, and troubleshooting. Verified against official Anthropic docs. Free to start.
Claude Certified Architect — Foundations (CCA-F)
The deepest, most comprehensive CCA-F exam-prep course on the web. Every official task statement across all five domains — agentic loops, multi-agent orchestration, MCP tool design, Claude Code configuration, prompt engineering, and context management — taught with animated diagrams, exam-trap framing, hands-on build exercises, and scenario-based quizzes modelled on the real exam.
Anthropic Training Courses
✎OfficialFree courses from Anthropic's Skilljar platform. Complete these in order to systematically build the knowledge tested in the Claude Claude Certified Architect (CCA-F) certification exam.
Recommended order: Courses are listed in the sequence you should complete them. Start with Claude 101 for fundamentals, then progress through API, Bedrock, MCP, and agentic patterns.
Claude 101
BeginnerStart here. Learn how to use Claude for everyday work tasks, understand core features like conversations, file uploads, and projects, and build a foundation for all advanced topics.
Building with the Claude API
IntermediateThe most comprehensive course for certification prep. Covers the full Anthropic API — from authentication and multi-turn conversations to tool use, RAG, prompt caching, streaming, extended thinking, and agentic patterns.
Claude in Amazon Bedrock
IntermediateLearn to deploy and integrate Claude through Amazon Bedrock. Covers the Bedrock-specific APIs, tool use, RAG pipelines, prompt caching, and production deployment patterns on AWS infrastructure.
Introduction to Model Context Protocol
IntermediateMaster the three MCP primitives — tools, resources, and prompts. Build MCP servers with the Python SDK, test with the Inspector, implement document management, and understand when to use each primitive.
Model Context Protocol: Advanced Topics
AdvancedDeep dive into production MCP — sampling for AI integration, notification systems, transport mechanisms (stdio vs StreamableHTTP), file access control via roots, and scaling considerations.
Claude Code in Action
IntermediateIntegrate Claude Code into real development workflows. Covers tool use architecture, context management, custom automations, MCP server integration, GitHub workflows, and thinking/planning modes.
Introduction to Agent Skills
IntermediateBuild, configure, and distribute reusable Skills (markdown instructions) for Claude Code. Learn frontmatter configuration, description writing for reliable triggering, directory organization, and enterprise deployment.
Introduction to Subagents
IntermediateLearn to delegate tasks to isolated sub-agents in Claude Code. Covers how sub-agents use separate context windows, patterns for structured outputs, obstacle reporting, and when to use (or avoid) delegation.
