Summary

A six-week roadmap to achieve certification as a Claude Architect, including coursework on Claude API, hands-on projects with tools like Claude Code, and exam preparation.

Six weeks is enough to get certified as a Claude Architect if you follow the order and do not skip ahead. Week 1 is coursework only: Building with the Claude API, Introduction to Model Context Protocol, Claude Code in Action, Claude 101. Skipping this step is how people show up to the exam knowing prompts but not the system underneath them. Week 2 turns that coursework into real projects using Claude Code, the Agent SDK, the Anthropic API, and MCP. Reading about a tool and building with it are not the same skill, and the exam tests the second one. Week 3 shifts from building to the exam itself: go through all six exam scenarios, get familiar with the five domains, and learn exactly which skills each task assessment is checking for. Week 4 is where the real preparation happens. Build a multi-tool agent with escalation logic, configure Claude Code for a team development workflow, build a structured data extraction pipeline, and design and debug a multi-agent research pipeline. These four exercises mirror what the actual exam asks for. Week 5 is a practice exam. Aim for a score above 850 out of 1000 before moving on. Week 6 is the real exam, and you only get one attempt. Bookmark this roadmap if certification is on your list this year.

@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…
