CCA-F vs. Anthropic's other Claude certifications
Anthropic runs four role-based Claude certifications. This site prepares you for CCA-F (Claude Certified Architect — Foundations) specifically — the architecture-and-orchestration tier, not the associate, developer, or professional tiers below.
Business & non-technical roles working alongside Claude — prompting, workflows, AI literacy.
Developers building applications with the Claude API — integration, tool use, SDKs.
Engineers & architects designing agentic systems: orchestration, Claude Code, MCP, context management.
Senior architects — the advanced tier, building on Architect Foundations knowledge.
Fees per attempt, via Pearson VUE. CCA-F rose from $99 to $125 on June 30, 2026. Partner tiers can get 50–100% off. See the official announcement of the 4 certifications ↗ for Anthropic's own description of each tier.
