Certified on the
parts that break.
Anthropic runs a certification for architects building production systems on Claude. We hold it.
The scope is the useful part. The exam is written against the failures that show up after the demo goes well — loops that don't terminate, subagents duplicating each other's work, a business rule that lives in a system prompt and gets skipped on the call where it counted.
Five practice areas below. Each one covers what tends to go wrong, and what we'd do about it.
Claude Certified Architect
Issued by Anthropic. A proctored, scenario-based exam covering the Claude Agent SDK, the Claude API, Claude Code, and the Model Context Protocol, graded on architectural judgment in production scenarios rather than on API recall.

Five practice areas. One way of working.
- Agent architecture & orchestrationAgents that finish what they start, hand off cleanly, and obey the rules you can't afford to break.
- Tool & integration designTools the model reaches for correctly, and failures it can do something sensible about.
- Claude Code enablementGetting the whole team the same leverage — not just whoever set it up first.
- Structured output & extractionData your systems can trust, at volume, without a person checking every row.
- Context & reliability engineeringLong-running work that keeps hold of the facts, and knows when to stop and ask.
Bring us the system that is almost working. One call, one written brief, one fixed-scope proposal — same as every other engagement.
