This repository holds study materials for the Claude Certified Architect, Foundations certification, an official credential program from Anthropic. It is aimed at people preparing to take that exam rather than at developers looking for a code library, so most of the content here is documentation rather than software. The certification itself is currently limited to members of the Anthropic Partner Network, and applicants need to register with a verified partner company email address. It is free for the first five thousand partner company employees, after which general access will cost ninety nine dollars. A link is provided in the README for requesting access to the official course and exam portal. The bulk of the repository is a study guide translated into fourteen languages, including English, Spanish, Russian, Chinese, Japanese, Urdu, Arabic, Hebrew, Korean, Italian, Traditional Chinese for Taiwan, Vietnamese, Turkish, and French. Each guide is available as a markdown file, a PDF, and an EPUB, so readers can pick whichever format suits them best. There are also Anki flashcard decks for a practical test in six of those languages, meant to help learners rehearse topics like tool design, integration with the Model Context Protocol, structured output, context management, and reliability. The README also lists thirteen free courses and certificates offered separately by Anthropic Academy, covering topics such as using Claude for everyday work, building with the Claude API, Claude Code, and Model Context Protocol servers, plus courses aimed at students, educators, and nonprofit organizations. For someone wanting to use this project, the suggested approach is simple: open the guide written in your own language, work through its scenarios and questions, and use the practical exercises section to rehearse before attempting the certification exam itself. People can contribute new language translations by adding markdown files, and PDFs are generated automatically once a pull request is merged. The maintainer links to their LinkedIn and X profiles for anyone who wants to follow their other Claude related guides.
