Claude 架构师 Foundations Exam Preparation

Claude Certified Architect – Foundations

14 chapters and 1,465 original practice questions, with explanations, mock exams and mistake review. These are one study product, not separate purchases.

这门考试你自己报不了名——Anthropic Partner Academy 不对个人开放注册,必须由 Claude Partner Network 成员为你开通账号。考的也不是背 API:60 道题反复问「最有效的第一步」,四个选项常常都能用,只有一个是成比例的。权重最高的是 Agentic Architecture(27%),不是很多人以为的 Claude Code。

One study product. All of this included.

14 learning chapters

Certification orientation, course guidance and applied learning across the exam domains.

1,465 original practice questions

Practise topics and scenarios rather than memorising answers. Bank size is separate from the official exam length.

    认证全景与报名链路

    60 题 120 分钟,720 量表分及格(不是答对 72%)。6 个场景抽 4 个是这门独有的结构。证书只有 12 个月有效期。报名走 Partner Academy,个人无法自助注册,考试费需自付。

    官方课程 · AI Fluency: Framework & Foundations

    Anthropic 的通识旗舰课,15 节课讲 4D 框架(Delegation / Description / Discernment / Diligence),学完发结业证书。体量轻,适合当备考路径的热身第一站。

    120 min
  3. 03
    官方课程 · Claude 101

    Claude 的官方入门基础课:核心功能、日常工作用法、进阶学习资源地图。有 6 个月以上实战经验的考生快速过目录查漏即可,也是给团队里非技术同事的官方钦点起点。

    60 min
  4. 04
    官方课程 · Building with the Claude API

    Anthropic 官方分量最重的一门备考课:84 节课、8.1 小时视频、10 个测验、有结业证书。八个模块几乎逐个对应考试域——Agents and workflows 对 Domain 1、Prompt engineering 对 Domain 4、Tool use + MCP 对 Domain 2。本章帮你把每个模块和考试域对上号。

    540 min
  5. 05
    Agentic 架构与编排

    27% 权重,五域之首。agentic loop 的控制流、coordinator-subagent 编排、subagent 的上下文显式传递、任务分解策略,以及最容易被忽略的会话状态管理(--resume / fork_session)。

    Agentic Architecture & Orchestration

    420 min
  6. 06
    官方课程 · Introduction to Model Context Protocol

    Anthropic 官方的 MCP 动手课:从零用 Python 构建 MCP server 和 client,三大 primitive(tools/resources/prompts)逐个亲手实现——Domain 2(18% 权重)MCP 半场的最快上手路径。

    180 min
  7. 07
    工具设计与 MCP 集成

    18% 权重。工具描述写薄了,模型就选错工具——这是考试反复考的根因。结构化错误要带 errorCategory 和 isRetryable,不是简单一个 is_error。内置工具(Read/Write/Edit/Bash/Grep/Glob)什么时候用哪个也在考纲里。

    Tool Design & MCP Integration

    300 min
  8. 08
    官方课程 · Claude Code in Action

    Anthropic 官方的 Claude Code 工作流集成课,Domain 3(20% 权重)的主对应课程。官方课教操作手感,本课第 4 章教配置层级的架构归属判断——两边配着学。

    120 min
  9. 09
    Claude Code 配置与工作流

    20% 权重(不是最高的那一域,很多人搞反了)。CLAUDE.md 的层级与 @import、.claude/rules/ 的 glob 路径规则、slash command 与 skill 的 frontmatter 作用域、plan mode 和直接执行怎么选、以及把 Claude Code 接进 CI/CD。

    Claude Code Configuration & Workflows

    330 min
  10. 10
    Prompt 工程与结构化输出

    20% 权重。用明确判据降低误报、few-shot 提升一致性、tool_use + JSON schema 强制结构化、校验重试环、Message Batches 批处理、多轮多实例复审架构。考试爱考"先修根因还是先加 few-shot"。

    Prompt Engineering & Structured Output

    330 min
  11. 11
    上下文管理与可靠性

    15% 权重。官方全名是 Context Management & Reliability——六条 task statement 里三条讲可靠性:升级与歧义消解、多 agent 间的错误传播、人工复审工作流与置信度校准。只复习"上下文压缩"会漏掉半个域。

    Context Management & Reliability

    240 min
  12. 12
    官方课程 · Claude with Amazon Bedrock

    源自 Anthropic 给 AWS 做的首创性认证培训,讲 Claude 在 Amazon Bedrock 上的完整落地。考纲明确不考云厂商配置——公司流量走 Bedrock 就顺手学,否则备考期可跳过。

    120 min
  13. 13
    官方课程 · Claude with Google Cloud's Vertex AI

    通过 Google Cloud Vertex AI 使用 Anthropic 模型的官方全流程课,Bedrock 那门的 GCP 姊妹篇。同样不对应考试域——公司流量走 Vertex 就顺手学,否则备考期可跳过。

    120 min
  14. 14
    考前冲刺与场景演练

    六个官方场景逐个拆解、常见错误答案的四种类型(过度工程、依赖概率性遵从、根因错归、误信模型自评置信度)、明确不考的 14 类内容清单,以及 OnVUE 考场自检。

Q 1 / 5Agentic Architecture & Orchestration

Your bilingual support agent uses a hand-written tool loop. Some requests require calling a lookup tool first, but you sometimes see the agent return a Chinese “final answer” even though the same API response contains a `tool_use` block later in `content`. The loop currently terminates with `if response.content[0].type == "text": return`. What change is the most appropriate fix?

AI Tutor

Got it wrong and don't know why? Ask the AI.

"It's midnight and I've read this explanation three times without getting it. There's no one to ask, and the answers I find online don't match…"

The Claude 架构师 Foundations AI tutor is always on, ready wherever you're stuck. Not generic ChatGPT — it explains this exact question and this exam domain precisely.

"Why does my chosen proposal fail here?"

When the explanation still doesn't click

Ask about the wording of your chosen option and the constraint it misses.

"How do I actually tell these two concepts apart?"

When concepts blur together

The AI uses comparisons and real scenarios to clear it up. Not memorising definitions — truly understanding.

"Two weeks to the exam — how should I plan?"

When prep hits the final sprint

The AI reads your mistake patterns and tells you which domains are weakest and what to review first.

这门考试考什么

CCAR-F 面向已经在用 Claude 搭生产应用的解决方案架构师。官方建议有 6 个月以上 Claude / Agent SDK / Claude Code / MCP 的实战经验。

考的不是 API 参数背诵,是判断力。官方样题里反复出现 "most effective first step"、"most likely root cause" —— 四个选项常常都能用,只有一个是成比例的第一步。

这门考试独有的结构

60 道题围绕 6 个场景抽 4 个展开(官方原文 "4 scenarios drawn from a bank of 6")。四门 Claude 认证里只有 CCAR-F 是这个结构。

明确不考的东西

微调与模型训练、embedding 与向量库、computer use、视觉分析、streaming/SSE、限流配额与价格计算、MCP server 的部署与基础设施、Claude 内部架构与权重。备考时别在这些上面花时间。

报名说明

Anthropic Partner Academy 不对个人开放自助注册,需由 Claude Partner Network 成员开通账号。账号开通后,由你本人在 Partner Academy 注册考试并直接向 Anthropic 支付官方考试费,再建 Pearson VUE 账号约考。考试费不包含在任何课程价格内。

Who it is for

  • 用 Claude 搭生产级应用的解决方案架构师
  • 有 6 个月以上 Agent SDK / Claude Code / MCP 实战经验的工程师
  • 需要为团队定 Claude 技术方案的技术负责人

Prerequisites

  • 官方不设强制前置认证
  • 建议 6 个月以上 Claude 实战经验
  • 能读懂 Python 或 TypeScript 代码
  • 用过 Claude Code 并配置过 CLAUDE.md
CCAR-F 的考试形式和及格线是什么?+

60 道题,120 分钟,单选与多选混合(每题会标明该选几个)。满分制为 100–1000 的量表分,720 分及格。注意:720 是量表分,不是"答对 72%"——它由正式的 standard-setting 研究定出。成绩单会附各 domain 的答对百分比,但那只用于诊断,不参与判定通过与否,所以不存在"每个域都要过线"这回事。此外这门考试的 60 道题围绕 6 个场景中抽取的 4 个展开。

我可以自己去官网报名吗?+

不行。Anthropic Partner Academy 不对个人开放自助注册,必须由已加入 Claude Partner Network 的伙伴在后台为你开通账号。账号开通后,由你本人在 Partner Academy 上注册考试并直接向 Anthropic 支付官方考试费(结账价会反映所属 partner tier 的折扣),然后再建 Pearson VUE 账号选择日期与线上监考或线下考场。这道准入墙是真实存在的,也是这门认证目前最难自行跨过的一步。

考试费包含在课程里吗?+

不包含。官方考试费需要你在 Partner Academy 结账时自行支付,任何课程或会员价格都不含这笔钱。这一点在报名前就要清楚,避免到了结账页才发现。

证书有效期多久?过期了怎么办?+

自授予日起 12 个月,不是终身有效。这是很多人会忽略的一条。在到期之前,你只需复习考纲变更点并在 Partner Academy 完成一次免费的、非监考的续证评估即可续期,不收费。但一旦过期,就必须全价重考。如果考纲发生重大变更,Anthropic 也可以要求持证人重考而不是走续证评估。

没通过可以重考吗?+

可以,但有冷却期:第 1 次不通过后等 14 天,第 2 次后等 30 天,第 3 次后等 90 天。滚动 12 个月内同一门最多考 4 次,且每次都要重新支付考试费。这个限制按单门计算——这门没过不影响你报考另外三门中的任何一门。

CCAR-F 和 CCAR-P 有先后顺序吗?+

没有。官方明确不要求先持有 Foundations 才能考 Professional,四门 Claude 认证互不设前置。真正的分流依据是经验与岗位:CCAR-F 面向用 Claude 搭生产应用的架构师;CCAR-P 面向做端到端交付、要跟安全法务和高管过会的技术负责人。而且两门的考纲差异比想象中大——RAG、合规、干系人沟通这些词在 CCAR-F 的考纲里一次都没出现过,在 CCAR-P 里合计超过 40% 的权重。
