Study for the Claude Certified Architect exam — the fun way
The Claude Certified Architect – Foundations (CCA-F) exam tests how you design production AI systems: agentic loops, tool use, prompt engineering, and keeping it all reliable. Flip through the concept cards, drill any topic in the Mock exam, then sit the Simulated exam — a 60-question, 120-minute, closed-book replica that draws 4 of 6 case-study scenarios, just like the real thing.
A timed, proctored sitting. The Simulated exam here mirrors this length and clock.
Multiple-choice and multiple-response items — a typical form runs ~48 single-select and 12 multiple-response (9 select-two, 3 select-three); each item states how many to select.
Passing score is 720. Reported as a scaled score, not a raw percentage.
Each sitting draws four case-study scenarios from a pool of six; questions are grouped under a scenario.
A blank answer scores the same as a wrong one — always answer every question.
Rewards root-cause design judgment under trade-offs, not recall of syntax.
Aimed at people who have shipped production systems with Claude.
Format facts are based on public information and may change — always confirm against Anthropic's official materials before you sit the exam.

Brought to you by KokoAI Academy — we build production AI systems like the ones this exam is about. This guide is free, and distills the exam's five domains into the design instincts that actually matter in production.
The exam is closed-book, but you study from the primary sources. These are the canonical Anthropic docs behind each domain — read these, not any paraphrase, when in doubt.
