6 min read · Updated January 2026

Who issues it

The Certified Claude Code Architect (CCCA) credential is issued by Anthropic Academy through Skilljar. The assessment and the credential itself are Skilljar's. Get My Claude Coach is not the issuer; we are one of several independent training partners.

Who it's for

Senior engineers, staff and above, and consultants with real production Claude work behind them. It is a portable signal of practice, not a beginner cert.

What it costs

Our two-day preparation cohort starts at $2,500 per seat and runs in our five US hubs. The Skilljar assessment fee is separate and is paid to Skilljar directly.

Why prep with an independent partner

The credential is portable; the practice is not. A good prep cohort gives you the mental model, an eval rubric you can take back to your team, and answers to the questions the assessment will test.
