Independent, structured prep for the Claude Certified Developer — Foundations (CCDV-F) exam — 8 domains, 53 items, 120 minutes.
All facts sourced from the official Anthropic Claude Certification Program exam guide.
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.
Agent architecture, agent construction with the Claude Agent SDK, agent patterns and frameworks (tool-use loops, subagents, memory, context-window management).
Requirements, systems life cycle, Claude API mechanics (messages, tools, streaming, vision, thinking, caching, batch API), software engineering foundations, application design, configuration management.
Claude Code core components (Rules, Skills, Commands, Agents, Agent Memory), session management, headless mode, CLAUDE.md hierarchy, repository initialization, settings.json.
Debugging and error handling for Claude applications — error type identification, recovery strategies, trace analysis to isolate failures between integration layer and model output.
LLM fundamentals, technical fundamentals, model selection tradeoffs (Opus vs Sonnet vs Haiku), cost and token management (prompt caching, cache check-pointing).
Context engineering (context window management, drift prevention, tool output pruning), prompt engineering (instruction clarity, few-shot, output constraints), output handling and structured output patterns.
AI application security (prompt injection mitigation, jailbreak defense, PII handling), guardrails and safe deployment, Claude hooks for destructive-action prevention, identity/secrets/key management.
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).
Structured video prep for concept depth, and 4 full-length practice tests for exam readiness. Both included in the early-release price.
Structured, blueprint-aligned video walkthroughs covering all 8 content domains at the depth reflected by the official exam weights. Every concept mapped back to the task statement it teaches.
Four full-length practice tests written to match the Anthropic exam item style, cognitive level, and domain weight distribution. Every question has a detailed answer rationale so you learn the reasoning, not just the answer.
Both assets ship together at one early-release price. Free updates when Anthropic publishes a new version of the CCDV-F blueprint.
Two lists. Read both honestly — a five-minute check now saves weeks later.
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

Early-release pricing while we build the community around this program. All prices below are early release — this is not the final program price.
Exam prep video content + 4 blueprint-aligned practice tests. Free updates when Anthropic updates the blueprint. Independent prep by Manifold AI Learning.
All prices shown are early release and may be revised as the program matures. Not official Anthropic training. Does not guarantee certification. Official exam fee is paid separately to Pearson VUE per Anthropic's certification policy.
This is an independent exam preparation program by Manifold AI Learning. Claude, Anthropic, and the Claude Certification Program are trademarks of Anthropic PBC. This course is not official Anthropic training and does not guarantee certification. Prices shown are early release and subject to change. The official CCDV-F exam fee ($125 USD) is a separate payment to Pearson VUE and is not included in this prep bundle. Blueprint accuracy is based on the exam guide version 1.0 effective July 2026; if Anthropic updates the blueprint, you will receive a free content refresh.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Structured video prep across all 8 domains + 4 exam-style practice tests. Free updates when Anthropic updates the blueprint. Independent prep by Manifold AI Learning.
