Big changes this week - launching Get720.com!
You helped us prove this works and we're launching a formal framework to help others get to 720 passing and obtain the CCAF! Here’s what’s next, and what it means for you. 1. The new site is live: https://get720.com It introduces the Claude Certification Success Bootcamp, launching November 1. Focused on helping non-technicals obtain the CCAF, we're taking all we've learned and putting together a structured program. There are a few ways through it: join the community for connection and questions, do a self-paced DIY, or a fast track with live meetings and intensive study sessions. Accessing the Skool community is free, upgrade to a paid for hands on training and resources. Founding members (anyone who joined before October 1, 2026) keep access to everything FOR FREE as long as you need it. If you hit anything gated, message Anita. 2. Free webinar: Tuesday, October 20 at 5pm ET Alice, Shin (Hsin-Chih’s preferred name going forward), and I will cover the CCAF, the Bootcamp, and our study framework. 120+ people are already signed up. Know someone who’s curious? Send them here: https://get720.com 3. New faces in the Skool group We’re admitting new members who’ll be part of the conversation and may be a part of the Bootcamp. Please welcome them. You’ve been where they are, and your experience is what they need to hear. 4. Claude Study Cards has its own home: https://www.claudestudycards.com Your survey feedback was consistent: the cards were a big help and an integral part of how you studied. They’re now $29/month as a standalone and included in the paid Bootcamp tiers. Again, Founding members keep free access for as long as you need it. Same login as before. Tell me if anything breaks. 5. Affiliate links are coming You’re the reason we know there’s demand for this, and you’re our best cheerleaders. Each of you will get a personal affiliate link that earns commission on the Bootcamp and Claude Study Cards. Watch for an email later this week with your link and the details, so you can share it before the October 20 webinar.

!! Certification exams update on Dec. 7th update will NOT affect CCAF
Quick heads-up on the Anthropic certifications update. The Dec 7 update does NOT affect CCAF / CCAR-F (Claude Certified Architect – Foundations), based on Anthropic’s announcement as of today. It does affect all their other certifications (see the image below). What we don’t know is when Anthropic will change the CCAF exam content and format – the earlier you sit the exam, the less uncertainty you’ll face. Join the Bootcamp and get certified by the end of January: https://get720.com/pricing Promo code: UNLOCK720 (ends in 5 hours)

I passed!
I know I'm late to the party 🎉 I had some unexpected things 'pop up' as they do this past fortnight but determined to push through. I thought I'd share what the real Claude Certified Architect - Foundations exam was like 💡 A few things surprised me. Sharing in case it helps anyone still preparing. 1. It was harder than the practice exams. The free practice sites are a good start, but they're unofficial. On the real exam, every wrong answer sounded believable. You can't spot the right one by elimination; you need to understand why it's right. 2. There were no "pick two" questions. Every question had one answer. Don't stress about that format. 3. Lots of questions are about choosing the best approach. For example: which setup fits this situation, when to plan first versus just do it, and which Claude Code setting to use for which job. Knowing what things are isn't enough. You need to know when to use each one. What helped me most: - Building real things with Claude, so the ideas made sense in practice - Keeping a list of every practice question I got wrong and going back over them - Practising with questions worded in new ways, so I learnt the idea, not the answer - Taking about two minutes per question and never leaving one blank The ideas that came up again and again: - If a rule must never be broken, enforce it with code (hooks), not instructions - When Claude picks the wrong tool, fix the tool description first - Give each agent only the tools it needs - Helper agents only know what you tell them, so pass everything in - A schema checks the shape of an answer, not whether it's correct - Message Batches are cheap but slow, so only use them when nobody is waiting Good luck, everyone. You've got this! 💪
