Claude Certified Developer - Foundations (CCDV-F) 2026

About this course

If you're getting ready to sit the official Claude Certified Developer – Foundations (CCDV-F) exam, this course gives you the single most effective way to prepare: realistic, full-length practice testing. You'll work through 6 unique practice exams - 318 questions in total - each built to match the real exam's format of 53 questions in 120 minutes, weighted across all 8 official domains exactly as Anthropic's exam guide specifies.

This isn't a reshuffled question bank. Every practice test is an independently written, scenario-based set designed to mirror the cognitive style of real certification questions: a situation or requirement is described first, and you're asked to identify the correct approach, the gap in a design, or the right fix - not just recall a definition.

What the course covers:

Applications and Integration - the Claude Messages API, request/response structure, tool use, streaming, vision, PDF input, prompt caching, the Message Batches API, error handling, and SDK usage

Model Selection and Optimization - choosing between Opus, Sonnet, and Haiku, extended thinking, token usage tracking, and cost-optimization strategies

Agents and Workflows - the distinction between workflows and agents, the agentic loop, orchestrator/subagent patterns, routing, and parallelization

Tools and MCP (Model Context Protocol) - defining tools, tool_choice, and how MCP standardizes connections between AI applications and external systems

Prompt and Context Engineering - structuring prompts, avoiding context rot, and just-in-time context retrieval

Security and Safety - API key handling, least-privilege tool design, and prompt injection risks

Claude Code - what it is and how project-level configuration works
