Our take

Based on the ratings of 240 students and a sample of their written reviews, as the course stood in September 2026. No course pays to be reviewed.

This is a bank of six timed practice exams for Anthropic's Claude Certified Developer Foundations certification, built by Frank Kane of Sundog Education. Each exam has 53 multiple-choice and multiple-response questions with a 120-minute limit, and every answer comes with an explanation. Topics are weighted like the official blueprint, so applications and integration takes the biggest share at 33.1 percent. There are no video lessons. The listing expects working engineers with some hands-on Claude time, and it notes the real certification is currently open only to employees of Anthropic partner organizations.

Most reviewers are happy. Of 240 ratings, 198 are four or five stars and only 11 are one or two. One student says they passed with 920 out of 1000 after using the tests. The complaints are pointed, though. A reviewer who had already passed the real exam calls the questions repetitive, heavy on use cases and light on concepts. Another says the exams are no better than free options online and doubts the author has sat the exam. Two reviews in a small sample prove little, but they hit the thing that matters most in a practice test: how close the questions feel to the real one.

The course is new. It went up in July 2026 and was refreshed in September 2026, and about 6,500 students have joined. It works best as a final readiness check after you have studied Anthropic's own documentation, not as the only prep. Try one exam early to judge the question style yourself, then decide whether the rest are worth taking. If the questions feel realistic, six timed sets at this scale are a sensible way to find weak domains before test day.

Best forWorking engineers with Claude API experience who have a CCDV-F date booked and want timed practice.

Skip it ifYou want video lessons that teach Claude, or you need proof the questions match the real exam.

Pros

Six full exams of 53 questions each, timed at 120 minutes like the real test
Domain weights follow the official blueprint, so your score should track the real mix
Each answer comes with an explanation that shows why, not just what was right
One reviewer reported passing with 920 out of 1000 after using these tests

Cons

One reviewer calls the questions repetitive and unlike the real exam
Practice questions only, so there are no lessons to fill knowledge gaps
Newly launched, and one reviewer says free online options are just as good

I took the CCD-F and utilized these practice tests. Passed with a 920/1000.

Listed as all levels, but the exam guide expects 1 to 5 years of engineering and 6 months with Claude.

What you will learn

Prepare for the Claude Certified Developer - Foundations (CCDV-F) exam with 3 full-length, realistic practice tests.
Test your knowledge across all 8 CCDV-F domains, weighted to match the official exam blueprint.
Practice building agents, integrating the Claude API, and designing custom tools and MCP servers.
Review detailed explanations covering prompt engineering, model selection, and security best practices.
Identify weak areas in Claude Code configuration, evaluation, and debugging before exam day.
Build the confidence and time-management skills needed to pass the CCDV-F exam on your first attempt.

Who it is for

The instructor says it suits

AI/ML engineers, technical leads, and senior software engineers who build, integrate, and ship production-grade Claude-powered applications and agents. Ideal for candidates preparing to sit the Claude Certified Developer - Foundations (CCDV-F) exam who want a realistic, rigorous readiness check before test day.

What you need before you start

There are no mandatory prerequisites, but the official CCDV-F exam guide recommends 1-5 years of software engineering experience and 6+ months of hands-on experience with Claude or a comparable LLM-based system.
Proficiency in Python and/or TypeScript and fluency with REST APIs and CLI tools is recommended to get the most out of these practice exams.
For additional preparation, review Anthropic's official courses and documentation for the Claude API, Claude Code, Skills, and MCP.

Course Description

This course contains the use of artificial intelligence.

Walk into your Claude Certified Developer – Foundations exam with confidence — not guesswork.

This course gives you 6 full-length practice exams built specifically for the Claude Certified Developer - Foundations (CCDV-F) exam. Each exam mirrors the real test: 53 multiple-choice and multiple-response items and a realistic 120-minute time limit - so exam day feels familiar instead of intimidating.

Every question comes with a detailed explanation, so you're not just finding out what you got wrong - you're learning why, and closing the gap in your understanding before it costs you on exam day.

Please note: Anthropic certifications are currently only available to employees of Anthropic Partner organizations.

Built by Frank Kane, founder of Sundog Education

These exams were created by Frank Kane, a former senior engineer and senior manager at Amazon with 9 years of experience building recommendation and machine learning systems, and the holder of 26 issued patents in the field of machine learning. Frank has taught over 1.2 million students worldwide through his Sundog Education courses on AI, machine learning, and data engineering.

Grounded in the official exam guide

Every question was built and technically validated directly against the official Claude Certified Developer - Foundations exam guide and official Anthropic documentation for the Claude API, Claude Agent SDK, Claude Code, Skills, and MCP - so what you practice on maps directly to what the real exam actually tests.

"The mock material & the answer explanations you put together were really helpful in guiding through the nuances of the exam" - Rahul V.

What the exams cover, weighted to match the official blueprint:

Agents and Workflows (14.7%)
Applications and Integration (33.1%)
Claude Code (3.1%)
Eval, Testing, and Debugging (2.6%)
Model Selection and Optimization (16.8%)
Prompt and Context Engineering (11.0%)
Security and Safety (8.1%)
Tools and MCPs (10.6%)

Each domain appears in the same proportion as the real exam, so your score is a reliable predictor of your outcome - not a random sample.

Why practice exams matter

Knowing the material is only half the battle. The CCDV-F exam tests your ability to make real engineering tradeoffs - batch vs. real-time API calls, prompt-injection defenses, MCP server design, model selection under cost and latency constraints - under time pressure. These practice exams train that skill directly, so you walk into the exam having already experienced its pace, phrasing, and pressure.

Take these exams, review every explanation, and go into your Claude Certified Developer – Foundations exam knowing exactly where you stand.
