About Claude Cert Prep

An independent, free study portal for Anthropic's Claude certification program. Not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by Anthropic.

Why this exists

The CCA-F tests architectural judgment on Claude-powered agentic systems — scenario questions about production trade-offs, not API trivia. Official prep material explains concepts; it doesn't drill the scenario-analysis muscle the actual exam exercises. This portal exists to close that specific gap: unlimited, honest practice at the exam's real format.

The certification program has four tracks; we build one at a time, fully — see the certification roadmap for what's live and what's next.

How the question bank is built

Three sources are merged: hand-authored scenario questions matching the exam's architecture-decision style, seed questions extracted from official study-guide practice patterns, and a deterministic parametric generator that produces thousands of provably-correct computed and matching questions — token budgeting, caching savings, retry backoff, and more, each stating its own givens so the answer is exact and never goes stale.

That last part matters: most of this bank can be regenerated against the current Claude API and exam guide on demand, rather than drifting out of date the way a fixed, hand-written bank does.

What "free" means here

Every practice mode, the full mock exam, the diagnostic, the glossary, and the quick reference are entirely free — there's no paywall, no ads, no upsell. Taking a practice set, a mock exam, or the diagnostic doesn't require an account; you only need a free account (email sign-in via Clerk, a third-party auth provider) to view your score, domain breakdown, and explanations once you finish, so that your history can follow you across devices instead of living only in one browser. When you finish a mock exam, an anonymous, aggregate result (pass/fail, score, per-domain breakdown — no identifiers of any kind) is added to the community stats below. Answering any question, anywhere on the site, also anonymously increments a shown/correct counter for that specific question — no identifiers, just a running tally we use to catch questions that are miscalibrated or have a weak wrong answer.

Your account only stores your own progress data — never sold, never shared, and you can sign out or ask us to delete it at any time.

Separately, on the Progress page, you can optionally tell us how your real exam went (pass/fail, and a scaled score if you want to share it) — entirely anonymous, not tied to your account or any identifier, and only used to show how predictive practice accuracy here actually is of a real pass. It's opt-in and dismissible; declining changes nothing about how the site works.

Community stats

Real numbers, not a vanity metric — updated as mock exams are completed. If nobody has finished one yet, this section says so instead of making something up.

Disclaimer

This is an unofficial study aid. The domain blueprint mirrors publicly described CCA-F exam information; all questions are original practice material, not reproductions of real exam items.
