Claude Certified Developer – Foundations

For developers integrating Claude into applications and workflows with SDKs, structured output, streaming and tooling.

A hands-on developer credential. Our material is code-first: every module has runnable examples, a failure case and a debugging exercise, because integration bugs — malformed tool schemas, truncated streams, retry storms — are what actually cost teams time.
