Reference architectures, code examples, and practice scenarios for the Claude Architect role. This 4-hour O'Reilly Media live training is skills-first for Segments 1-3, then closes with a CCA-F certification capstone in Segment 4 (cert briefing + weighted practice questions). It teaches the production patterns that define a Claude Architect (agentic orchestration, tool design with MCP, Claude Code workflows, prompt engineering, context management) and gives you a runway to Anthropic's CCA-F exam.

Anthropic's Claude Certified Architect: Foundations (CCA-F) exam is currently restricted to Anthropic partners. The five reference files in this repo map to the published 5-domain exam blueprint, and CERT-PROGRAM-BRIEFING.md walks through exam mechanics, prep stack, and a week-before punchlist.

**New: EXAM-STUDY-PATH.md** is the learner-facing bridge from this workshop's notebooks to CCA-F domains and scenario families. Read it after the course-at-a-glance table below if you are aiming at the exam.

What is a Claude Architect?

The Claude Architect is an emerging job role focused on designing and building production-grade applications with Claude Code, the Claude Agent SDK, the Claude API, and Model Context Protocol (MCP). Organizations across the Claude Partner Network are hiring for this skillset.
