Every Domain, Every Task Statement

Our video content and practice tests map directly to the 8 content domains and their weights from the official Anthropic exam guide. Nothing is skipped, nothing is invented.

D1

Agents and Workflows

14.7%

Agent architecture, agent construction with the Claude Agent SDK, agent patterns and frameworks (tool-use loops, subagents, memory, context-window management).

D2

Applications and Integration

33.1%

Requirements, systems life cycle, Claude API mechanics (messages, tools, streaming, vision, thinking, caching, batch API), software engineering foundations, application design, configuration management.

D3

Claude Code

3.1%

Claude Code core components (Rules, Skills, Commands, Agents, Agent Memory), session management, headless mode, CLAUDE.md hierarchy, repository initialization, settings.json.

D4

Eval, Testing, and Debugging

2.6%

Debugging and error handling for Claude applications — error type identification, recovery strategies, trace analysis to isolate failures between integration layer and model output.

D5

Model Selection and Optimization

16.8%

LLM fundamentals, technical fundamentals, model selection tradeoffs (Opus vs Sonnet vs Haiku), cost and token management (prompt caching, cache check-pointing).

D6

Prompt and Context Engineering

11.0%

Context engineering (context window management, drift prevention, tool output pruning), prompt engineering (instruction clarity, few-shot, output constraints), output handling and structured output patterns.

D7

Security and Safety

8.1%

AI application security (prompt injection mitigation, jailbreak defense, PII handling), guardrails and safe deployment, Claude hooks for destructive-action prevention, identity/secrets/key management.

D8

Tools and MCPs

10.6%

Tool implementation (function calling, tool descriptions, agentic dispatch), MCP server development (stdio, sockets, resources, prompts), agentic customization (built-in Tools vs custom Tools vs Skills vs MCPs).

Aligned with the exam guide: the domain names, weights, and topic breakdowns above match the Anthropic exam guide for CCDV-F version 1.0 (Effective July 2026). If Anthropic updates the blueprint, you receive a free content refresh.

Fit Check

Is This Right for You?

Two lists. Read both honestly — a five-minute check now saves weeks later.

check_circle Built for you if you are

  • You are an AI/ML engineer, technical lead, or senior software engineer
  • You have 1–5 years of software engineering experience
  • You have at least 6 months hands-on with Claude or comparable LLM systems
  • You are proficient in Python and/or TypeScript, fluent with REST APIs and CLI tools
  • You have working knowledge of LLM fundamentals, agents, context management, and MCP
  • You want a structured, blueprint-aligned prep path for CCDV-F

block Not the right fit if you are

  • You are non-technical or a casual user of Claude-based applications
  • You have no hands-on software development experience
  • You are limited to prompt writing without broader application development responsibility
  • You expect official Anthropic training or courseware
  • You expect a guarantee of passing the CCDV-F exam
  • You want a marketing-only overview without hands-on developer competencies
Outcomes

What You Will Be Able To Do

By the end of the prep, you will be fluent across every capability the Anthropic exam guide lists for the minimally qualified candidate.

Build agents and workflows using the Claude Agent SDK, agentic frameworks, and custom agent loops

Integrate Claude through the API, client SDKs, and third-party integrations — streaming, error handling, multi-format input

Operate Claude Code across interfaces — authoring Skills, configuring CLAUDE.md, settings.json, plugins

Write effective prompts and apply context engineering — control model behaviour, prevent context drift

Design and run evals — debug failure modes through trace analysis and validate structured output

Select Claude model tiers and manage tokens, caching, and batch processing for cost and latency

Apply secure-by-design principles and implement guardrails through hooks against prompt injection

Build custom tools, function schemas, and MCP servers with tradeoffs across built-ins, custom tools, Skills, and MCPs

Question Style

Real-World, Applied, Scenario-Anchored

Illustrative question themes drawn from the exam guide, showing the cognitive level our practice tests are written to match.

Every practice question is grounded in a realistic Claude usage scenario. Sample themes drawn from the official exam guide include:

  • quizChoosing between Message Batches API vs synchronous parallel calls for a non-urgent 10,000-document overnight analytics job
  • quizMitigating prompt injection when a summarizing agent processes user-submitted web pages containing hidden instructions
  • quizDeciding between an MCP server, built-in tools, or prompt-embedded logic when multiple Claude applications need to call an internal REST inventory service

FAQ

Common Questions

Is this official Anthropic training?

No. This is an independent exam preparation program by Manifold AI Learning. Claude, Anthropic, and the Claude Certification Program are trademarks of Anthropic PBC. You should review the official Anthropic exam guide and register for the exam directly through the Anthropic Partner Academy and Pearson VUE.

Does this guarantee I will pass CCDV-F?

No. This program is designed to support structured preparation aligned to the published blueprint, but certification outcome depends on your own preparation, background, and Anthropic's actual exam requirements at the time of your attempt.

What exactly is included?

You get the full exam prep video course covering every domain in the CCDV-F blueprint, plus 4 blueprint-aligned full-length practice tests with detailed answer rationale. You also get free updates when the blueprint changes.

When do I get access?

Instant portal access is delivered the moment you enrol. The 1st module + all 4 practice tests are LIVE right now. Additional modules are released as they are completed and become accessible automatically inside your portal — you never need to re-pay or re-enrol as new modules ship.

Why is this priced lower than the official exam fee?

This is a prep-only program, not the official exam. Anthropic charges the $125 USD fee for the actual CCDV-F exam through Pearson VUE. Our prep bundle sits alongside it — helping you get ready before you sit for the real exam.

What if Anthropic updates the CCDV-F blueprint?

You get free content updates. If Anthropic publishes a new version of the exam guide with revised domain weights, task statements, or scope, we refresh the video content and practice tests and you receive them at no additional cost.

Do I need prior Claude experience?

The Anthropic exam guide's recommended experience says: AI/ML engineers, technical leads, senior software engineers. Prerequisites are recommended but not mandatory — Anthropic awards the credential based on exam performance alone.

How do I register for the actual exam?

Registration is handled directly through the Anthropic Partner Academy and Pearson VUE. Our program prepares you for the exam — the actual booking and delivery is with Anthropic's official partners.
