Week 5
Exam prep

Why AI, why now
AI is no longer optional — and proven Claude skills are the scarce part
AI has moved from experiment to expectation. Enterprises are rebuilding support, research, engineering, and operations around it, and the work is shifting to people who can design and ship dependable AI systems — not just prompt a chatbot.
It changes every role
AI is becoming a baseline skill across engineering, product, marketing, and operations — not a specialist niche.
Demand outpaces proof
Plenty of people claim AI experience. A recognised certification plus real, hands-on builds is what employers and clients trust.
Early movers compound
The people who get fluent now shape how their teams adopt AI — and win the highest-value work that follows.
Career protection
Get certified in the AI skill employers are scrambling for — and future-proof your career
AI is no longer a side experiment — it's becoming core to how work gets done. The people who can design, build, and ship with Claude are the ones who keep their seat at the table and get pulled into the highest-value projects. This program gives you a recognised Anthropic credential and the hands-on proof to back it up, so you don't just keep up with AI — you accelerate ahead of it.

Common questions
Got questions?
Still have a question? Email claude@getaiready.ai and a real person will get back to you.
What exactly is this program?+
A five-week asynchronous, self-paced certification prep program that covers everything the CCAR-F exam tests — the Claude API and prompt engineering, MCP and tool design, Claude Code and Agent Skills, and agentic architecture with the Claude Agent SDK — through on-demand lessons, guided labs, and daily build challenges. You can fit it around your job: optional live office hours and a private channel let you ask questions and get clarifications on your own schedule. We finish with a group practice exam, and you register for and sit the Claude Certified Architect – Foundations (CCAR-F) exam afterward.
Why do I have to apply instead of just paying?+
I keep each group small and focused, so I personally review every application to make sure it's a good fit. It also means you're never charged anything unless you're accepted.
What do the courses cost?+
Each of the four tracks — CCAO-F, CCDV-F, CCAR-F or CCAR-P — is $99 for the asynchronous virtual training and certification prep, including all content, labs, mock exams, office hours, and channel support. Bundles bring it down: $149 for any two courses or $249 for all four together. The certification exam itself is a separate fee paid directly to Anthropic ($99 for CCAO-F, $125 for CCDV-F and CCAR-F, $175 for CCAR-P) — it is not included in the training fee.
What do I keep after the program ends?+
Your access is for life. As the CCAR-F exam is updated over time, I refresh the training and you always get the latest version — at no extra cost — so your certification prep never goes stale. You also stay in the GetAIReady Claude Community for good. Certify once, stay current for good.
Do I need to be in a particular city?+
No. The program is fully virtual and asynchronous. New content drops weekly, labs are available on demand, and optional office hours are recorded. You can learn from anywhere and on your own schedule — no need to quit your job or rearrange your life.
Which certification does this prepare me for?+
The Claude Certified Architect – Foundations (CCAR-F) certification. The curriculum is built around exactly what that exam covers.
Do I need to be a developer?+
Some technical comfort helps. The program is aimed at developers and technical builders preparing for the CCAR-F exam, but motivated learners who can keep up with the pace are welcome to apply.
What's the time commitment?+
Each week drops new recorded lessons, a guided lab, and self-paced daily build challenges. You can spread the work across the week however your schedule allows. Plan on a few hours of focused work per week, plus whatever extra practice you want to put in. Week five wraps with a practice exam.
How do I get help if I have questions?+
You'll have access to a private channel where you can ask questions, share doubts, and get clarifications from instructors and peers. Optional live office hours are also available every week for real-time help, and they're recorded if you can't attend.
What's the consulting opportunity?+
GetAIReady, my AI consultancy, is building a Claude practice. Members who pass the CCAR-F exam become candidates for our talent bench and may be hired onto client engagements as work comes in.
How do I register for the Anthropic certification exam?+
The Anthropic certification exam is a closed exam available only to a finite list of approved partners. GetAIReady is registered in the Claude Partner Network, so when you join the training we provide the credentials you need to register and sit the exam. The exam fee itself is paid directly to Anthropic and is separate from the training fee.
How long until I hear back?+
I review applications regularly and reply by email. Keep an eye on your inbox (and spam folder) for your decision and, if you're approved, your invoice.
