This course contains the use of artificial intelligence

The CCAR-F exam gives you 60 production scenarios, 120 minutes and four answers that all look right.

Most prep courses give you a question bank. This one teaches every domain on video, then drills it in interactive exam trainers, study games and a full mock exam.

You already build with Claude, so the exam looks familiar. Then you read a scenario: a support agent that skips identity checks, a subagent that lost its sources, a CI review that floods pull requests with false positives, and four reasonable fixes. The Claude Certified Architect – Foundations exam tests production judgment: when a hook beats a prompt, how a tool description steers selection, where an instruction belongs in Claude Code, why a schema-valid answer can still be wrong. The "most effective first step" is rarely the biggest one. A question bank tells you that you picked the wrong option. It rarely tells you why the other three fail, and a failed attempt costs you $125 and at least 14 days of waiting before the retake.

After this course you read a scenario and see which task statement it tests. You know how the five domains are weighted and which one costs you the most points. You design an agentic loop and a coordinator that pass context on purpose, put must-hold rules into hooks, write tool contracts with errors an agent can act on, configure Claude Code for a whole team, run it as a reviewer in CI, get extraction output that is both valid and right, and keep facts and sources intact across many agents. You walk into the exam with a readiness score by domain and a plan, and you keep a working architect's kit for your own Claude builds.

The course is built and taught by Mike Pritula:

• Founder and head of strategy of Pritula Academy, where 170,000+ students have trained

• Author of the Claude for HR, Claude for Recruiter, Prompt Engineering for HR and HR AI Agents courses at Pritula Academy

• #1 HR instructor on Udemy, with 2,000,000+ students on Udemy

• 20 years of hands-on practice at Wargaming, Preply, iDeals and Starlightmedia

The course follows the five domains of the official exam guide in order. The two heaviest domains get two lessons each: agentic architecture and orchestration, and Claude Code configuration and workflows. Every lesson comes with its own interactive exam trainer: 12 scenario questions set inside the six official exam scenarios, in both exam formats, one best answer and "choose two", with an instant explanation of why each wrong option is wrong and a retry of the questions you missed. Study games for every lesson, with flashcards, a memory game and a timed match game, lock in the flags, file paths, config keys and patterns before you move on. First you design agentic loops, coordinators, subagents, hooks and sessions. Then you build tool contracts and MCP integrations and configure Claude Code for a team and for CI. Next you engineer prompts for reliable structured output and learn to keep context, escalation and provenance under control. Finally you calculate your readiness score and sit a full mock exam: 60 new questions in the proportions of the five domains, built as four scenario sets like the real exam, with a 120-minute timer, flags, a review screen and a score report by domain with a readiness zone. Every practice question is written for this course; there are no real exam questions or dumps. Everything interactive opens in any browser, on a phone too.

Claude Code, the Agent SDK and MCP change every few months, and the engineers who can explain their architecture decisions now are the ones their teams will ask to design the next build. Every week you wait is another week of guessing on scenarios you could already read.
