This free practice platform helps candidates prepare for the Claude Certified Developer – Foundations (CCDV-F) exam, Anthropic's hands-on builder credential for engineers who build applications on the Claude API. It covers applications and integration, model selection and optimization, agents and workflows, prompt and context engineering, tools and MCPs, security and safety, Claude Code, and evaluation/testing/debugging, through 96 scenario-based practice questions weighted to match the official exam blueprint across all 8 domains. Candidates can take 2 timed, mixed-domain mock drills with scoring out of 1000 and full explanations after every attempt, as a warm-up before the full 53-question real exam.

Weightings based on the published CCDV-F exam guide (v1.0). Check the official guide before you book, as Anthropic can update it.
Anthropic's exam guide suggests 1 to 5 years of software engineering experience and at least 6 months of hands-on work with Claude or a comparable LLM system. The exam is meant for people who build, integrate and ship production apps, agents and workflows on Claude.
You should be comfortable with Python or TypeScript, REST APIs and the command line, as well as LLM basics, agents, context management and the Model Context Protocol (MCP).
Applications and Integration is worth 33.1% of CCDV-F, about a third of the exam and twice the size of any other domain. Model Selection and Optimization (16.8%) and Agents and Workflows (14.7%) are the next biggest.
After the exam you see a pass or fail result, your scaled score, and the percentage of questions you answered correctly in each domain. That breakdown shows exactly where to focus if you need a retake.
CCDV-F has 53 questions with a 120-minute time limit. It is proctored and can be taken online or at a test centre.
