Thank you to all who showed up in person yesterday and to @Ronan Keane for sharing his Claude secrets. The best part of this experience isn't just passing the exam, it's also everything we learn together as we go through the wealth of material. Here is the replay link in the classroom: https://www.skool.com/claude-certified/classroom/005ac1b7?md=bac13858d64842368696906453faba4d If you haven't already built an agent in Claude or any other AI tool, now is the time to start. Choose something simple and repetitive and observe how the agent behaves and the results you get. Building BAD agents before I even knew what the CCA-F was taught me a LOT about the pitfalls and made the exam material more practical and easier to understand.
