Become a Claude Certified Architect — before the door closes.
Anthropic's first official technical credential for AI architects. Your only registration path runs through Remotely's whitelisted domain. The first 5,000 attempts are free until July 15, 2026. We reimburse anything that lands on the paid side of that line.
What you're walking into
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.
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.
First Architects on the Remotely network
Four Remoters already hold the Claude Certified Architect — Foundations badge. You'll meet them in our cohort sessions.
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.
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.
