Claude Certified Architect – Foundations

Upon successful completion of this training and certification, learners will be able to: 

• Design and implement agentic loop architectures using the Claude Agent SDK, applying model-driven control flow, stop reason handling, and multi-agent coordinator-subagent patterns for complex workflow orchestration. 
• Build and configure multi-agent systems with explicit context passing parallel subagent execution, programmatic workflow enforcement, and hook-based interception using the Claude Agent SDK. 
• Design and integrate MCP tools with precise tool descriptions, structured error handling, scoped tool distribution, and tool choice configuration to optimize LLM tool selection accuracy. 
• Configure Claude Code projects using CLAUDE.md hierarchy, custom slash commands, Skills, path-specific rules, and CI/CD integration to build reliable, team-ready development workflows. 
• Apply advanced prompt engineering techniques including explicit criteria design, few-shot prompting, structured output via tool use and JSON schema, retry-with-feedback loops, and multi-pass review architectures. 
• Implement context management strategies for large-scale agent workflows including context preservation, escalation patterns, error propagation handling, and information provenance with uncertainty tracking. 
• Evaluate and optimize agent system reliability by applying confidence calibration, human-in-the-loop routing, field-level validation, and structured claim-source mapping for trustworthy production deployments.
