The deal

Your registration path runs through Remotely's whitelisted domain

Anthropic whitelisted Remotely's @network.remotely.works domain. That's the email you'll use to register. We cover the cost — including the $99 if Anthropic's free window has closed.

Use your @network.remotely.works email

Our domain is cleared by Anthropic. Don't have your alias yet? Sign up via the form and we'll set it up for you.

Try the first-5,000 free window

Anthropic offers the first 5,000 attempts free during early access. Worth trying — if yours comes through at $0, even better. Either way, we've got the cost covered.

$99 reimbursement, no friction

Pass the exam, forward the result, add the expense with the receipt to the platform. We reimburse on your next invoice.

Deadline: July 15, 2026

Extended from June 30. Take and pass the exam before the deadline to qualify for full reimbursement. After that, the offer closes.

First in line for Claude work

The technology companies we talk to are starting to require proof, not promises. CCAF on your profile means you surface first in client searches — and you negotiate from a stronger position when the offer lands.

Registration: clau.de/CCAF

Once you've completed the 4 Foundational courses, register at clau.de/CCAF with your network.remotely.works email. Heads up — see the workaround note below.

From Remoters who already passed

Real lessons, not marketing copy

Three Remoters who cleared CCAF, in their own words. Read this before you register — you'll save yourself a chunk of prep time.

I'd been building with agents for a while, so harnesses, skills, all that came naturally. The piece I had to study was the Agent SDK — two or three days, then I took the exam and passed. Hands-on experience matters more than memorizing.

The exam leans heavily on business cases — context windows, MCPs, agents and skills, and the "why" behind each. There's a study guide that unlocks with the track, plus a couple of online practice exams that give you the flavor.

Hit 900/1000 on the practice exam before attempting the real one. Anthropic's suggestion is valid — the certification is more complex than the practice. And put a UPS on your router: I had a power outage mid-exam, and if my internet had dropped it would have failed automatically.

First Architects on the Remotely network

Four Remoters already hold the Claude Certified Architect — Foundations badge. You'll meet them in our cohort sessions.

Exam day reality

What they don't tell you in the official guide

Practical lessons pulled directly from Remoters who already cleared CCAF. Read this before you register — it'll change how you prep.

Score 900/1000 on the practice exam first

Anthropic's recommendation, confirmed by every remoter we talked to. The real exam is more complex than the practice. Don't book your slot until you're consistently clearing 900.

Take it within days of finishing the courses

Material fades fast. Several remoters waited two-to-three weeks after the Foundational Track and regretted it. Schedule the exam while concepts are still sharp.

One attempt. Six months to retake.

Fail and you wait six months before you can sit it again. This is not a "try it and see" credential — prepare seriously, or wait until you're ready.

Put a UPS on your router

The session is proctored with camera and mic on. A power outage or dropped internet during the exam can fail you automatically. One of our remoters survived an outage because of a UPS — yours might not.

Hands-on beats reading

The hardest questions are scenario-based. Wire up an MCP server. Build a multi-agent loop. Write five tool descriptions. The exam tests what you'd do, not what you've memorized.

Results in days, not weeks

Anthropic publishes a 7-business-day window. In practice, scores often come back in 2-3 days, with a section-by-section breakdown so you know exactly where you landed.

Why this credential

The benchmark companies will look for

The first real Anthropic credential

The first official technical certification for solution architects building production AI applications with Claude. A real, proctored exam — not a badge for watching videos.

Few people in the region hold it

This is a first for LATAM. Get on the leaderboard early — companies hiring AI architects in 2026 will look for this credential before anything else.

CCAF is the new default ask

Across the hundreds of technology companies we talk to every week, CCAF is moving from "nice to have" to non-negotiable. AI-ready talent without proof is starting to read as an empty claim. Certified developers on the Remotely network land Claude engagements first — and at stronger rates.

Study what you'll actually ship

Prompt engineering for tool use, context management, multi-agent orchestration, human-in-the-loop. Practical ground — not theory.

LinkedIn badge, 1-year validity

Shareable credential that signals AI-ready talent to anyone scanning your profile. Renew before it expires.

The free window is closing

The first 5,000 attempts are free. After that, $99. The cert launched days ago. Move now.

Two tracks

Pick the one that fits where you are

Some of you are basically ready today. You know who you are. Others need the four free Foundational courses first. Both paths are below.

Track A · Never touched the courses

Start with the four free courses

  1. Go to anthropic.skilljar.com and create an account with your @network.remotely.works email.
  2. Work through in order: Claude 101, Building with the Claude API, Claude Code in Action, Introduction to MCP.
  3. Self-paced. ~10-15 hours total. Most people finish in a weekend.
  4. Upload each certificate to your profile at platform.remotely.works/profile.
  5. Then jump to Track B.
Track B · Ready to sit the exam

Register, take it, get reimbursed

  1. Register at clau.de/CCAF using your @network.remotely.works email — we're a cleared domain.
  2. Score 900/1000 on the practice exam before booking the real one.
  3. Take the proctored exam and pass it before July 15, 2026.
  4. Submit your passing certificate and the $99 receipt to Remotely.
  5. 100% reimbursement on your next invoice. No approval gate — pass the exam, get paid back.
Workaround if registration blocks you:

Log out and back in using an incognito window with your @network.remotely.works address, then go to clau.de/CCAF and try again. We're tracking this with Anthropic — let us know via the form if it still fails.
