@ai_suxiaole: Anthropic has a Claude Architect certification, but it is not fully open to all developers yet. As a result, there has been relatively little information available online about the exam scope, study path, and practice questions. An open-source study guide: Claude Certified Architect organizes the key knowledge points covered by the certification into modules, including tool call design, MCP integration, structured output, context management, and improving system reliability. Each section comes with hands-on exercises, not just a simple list of concepts. The project also offers versions in Chinese, English, Russian, and Japanese, allowing you to read online or download as PDF for offline study. If you want to systematically build up your Claude engineering knowledge, this guide saves more time than scattered documentation. GitHub: http://github.com/paullarionov/claude-certified-architect…
Summary
