Why CCAF is a partner-only credential
Proves production-grade practice
A 301-level exam for practitioners at partner companies who are ready to demonstrate deeper, applied expertise with Claude — not introductory knowledge.
Recognized by customers
Digital certificate recognized by companies using Claude, backed by Anthropic. A credential to stand behind on customer engagements.
First milestone to partnership
Certification is the first technical milestone on the Claude Partner Network (CPN) path — it unlocks the rest of the tiering and program benefits.
Study what you'll actually ship
Questions test practical ground: prompt engineering for tool use, managing context windows, multi-agent orchestration, and Human-in-the-Loop workflows.
One proctored session
60 multiple-choice questions, end-to-end, in a single 120-minute session. No external resources or breaks — this mock mirrors that flow.
Partner-only pricing
A fixed $99 discount is offered to approved Claude Partner Network companies. This practice exam is free — because your first attempt shouldn't be blind.

I just passed CCAF — and I built this mock from what I learned
I just got my results back and managed to snag the Early Adopter badge as well. Following up on my recent DP-600 certification, I really wanted to validate my architecture skills specifically on the Anthropic side. The exam covers a lot of practical ground on prompt engineering for tool use, managing context windows efficiently, and handling Human-in-the-Loop workflows — so I wrote up my full playbook and bundled the resources I actually used into the chips below.

Timed mock — 60 questions, 120 minutes, 1,000-point scale
Before you start
This mock mirrors the real exam exactly: 60 questions, a single session with no breaks, question nav + flagging, and a 120-minute timer. Length and timing are locked to match the real CCAF — pick Untimed practice mode below if you just want to study without the clock.
Rules
- Pass mark on the real exam isn't public — this mock flags 700 / 1000 as a working benchmark.
- Each question is weighted equally on the 1,000-point scale.
- You can flag and revisit questions from the palette on the right.
- Submitting early or running out of time both end the session.
- No external tools, notes, or tabs — this is a proctor-style simulation.
- Switching tabs blurs the exam and records a focus-loss event.
