Frequently Asked Questions
What is the CCAF exam?+
CCAF stands for Claude Certified Architect – Foundations. It is an entry-level certification that tests your ability to design and build agentic systems with Claude — covering the agentic loop, multi-agent orchestration, tool and MCP integration, Claude Code workflows, prompt engineering, structured output, and context management and reliability.
Is this CCAF study guide free?+
Yes. The full study guide — all 5 domains, all 6 scenarios, the cheat sheet, the Agent SDK config reference, and the English–Urdu glossary — is free and needs no sign-up. A free account only adds progress tracking and saved graded quiz history.
What are the 5 CCAF exam domains and their weights?+
Agentic Architecture & Orchestration (27%), Claude Code Configuration & Workflows (20%), Prompt Engineering & Structured Output (20%), Tool Design & MCP Integration (18%), and Context Management & Reliability (15%).
How should I study for the CCAF Foundations exam?+
Read each domain's concepts, then take that domain's practice quiz to check recall. Work through all 6 scenario walk-throughs, skim the cheat sheet and glossary the day before, and finish with the full mock exam under timed conditions until you are consistently scoring above the pass mark.
How many practice questions are included?+
The study track includes practice quizzes for every domain and scenario plus a full-length mock exam — 85+ questions in total, each with a detailed explanation and an Urdu translation for quick memorization.
What is the Claude Agent SDK and why does it matter for CCAF?+
The Claude Agent SDK is the toolkit for building Claude agents. The exam expects familiarity with two objects in particular: ClaudeAgentOptions (how you configure a run — tools, permissions, MCP servers, sessions, hooks, model and reasoning) and AgentDefinition (how you configure a subagent). The site includes an annotated config reference for both.
Does the study guide have Urdu translations?+
Yes. Every quiz explanation and study-guide concept includes a simpler everyday-Urdu (Nastaliq) translation for quick memorization, and there is a dedicated English–Urdu glossary of the exam's difficult terms.
