About the Course

Hands-on Claude developer training designed for the Claude Certified Developer – Foundations exam.

This Accumentum course prepares software engineers and technical builders to design, implement, and ship production-grade applications and agents using the Claude API, Agent SDK, tools, MCP, and Claude Code.

The Claude Certified Developer – Foundations (CCDV-F) credential validates that you can build, integrate, and ship Claude-powered applications and agents. It is the builder track in Anthropic’s role-based certification program and is intended for engineers who work with the Claude API, SDKs, Agent SDK, tools, and Model Context Protocol.

Accumentum’s training maps directly to the official exam blueprint. You will practice Claude API mechanics, application design, agent architecture and construction, tool and MCP implementation, prompt and context engineering, model selection and cost management, security and safety patterns, Claude Code operation, and evaluation and debugging techniques that mirror real engineering work.

Whether you are integrating Claude into existing systems, building new agentic products, or preparing for the CCDV-F exam, this course develops the practical engineering judgment required of a Claude Certified Developer.
