Claude Certified Architect: Foundations
Validates that a solution architect can make informed tradeoff decisions building production applications with Claude Code, the Claude Agent SDK, the Claude API and MCP. Scenario-based: each exam presents 4 scenarios drawn at random from a published bank of 6 (customer support agent, Claude Code adoption, multi-agent research, developer productivity, CI/CD integration, structured data extraction). Open only to employees of Claude Partner Network organisations, registering with a company email address.
