CCA-F Exam Tutorial

Hands-on study companion for the Claude Certified Architect - Foundations (CCA-F) exam.

About

Provides a self-contained, single-file HTML workbook of eight runnable tutorials covering every domain of Anthropic's Claude Certified Architect – Foundations (CCA-F) exam, plus a companion visual study guide for the theory half. The pedagogy is verification-gated: each tutorial is built, then deliberately broken, then ticked off a checklist — passive reading does not advance the page. Content was fact-checked against the official exam guide and current Anthropic docs in July 2026. Independent and unofficial — not affiliated with or endorsed by Anthropic.

Usage

Open index.html in a browser — no build step, no framework, no server. The workbook renders on desktop, tablet, and mobile.

Desktop	Tablet	Mobile

The companion theory guide, study-guide.html, follows the same pattern:

Desktop	Tablet	Mobile

git clone https://github.com/jamesbuckett/ccaf-exam-tutorial.git
cd ccaf-exam-tutorial
xdg-open index.html   # Linux
# open index.html     # macOS
# start index.html    # Windows

A hosted copy is available at ccaf-exam-tutorial.vercel.app.

Maintenance

The content decays as Anthropic ships — re-verify these against primary sources roughly quarterly (last full check: 2026-07-02):

• Model pricing table in usage.py and all cost claims → models overview
• Context-window, stop_reason, caching, and structured-output claims → platform.claude.com/docs
• MCP transport/auth terminology → MCP spec
• Claude Code install command, CLAUDE.md semantics, MCP resource handling → code.claude.com/docs
• Exam fee, domain weights, delivery, validity in study-guide.html → official CCA-F exam guide via Pearson VUE
• Tutorial 08 prep.py still extracts >15K chars from the Gutenberg file
• Update the freshness stamp in the hero and the v2026.NN version strings
