Claude Certified Developers, On Every Project
CCA-F, Claude Certified Associate: Forward, is the internal standard every AppUnik engineer clears before they touch a line of client code. Here's what it actually verifies.
A standard, not a badge
CCA-F is assessed against real delivery, not a multiple-choice test about Claude's API docs.
Claude-native engineering
Every certified developer is assessed on building with Claude specifically, tool use, structured outputs, context management, not generic LLM trivia.
End-to-end ownership
Certification requires owning a build from architecture through production support, not just the implementation slice between two handoffs.
Outcome accountability
Every certified engagement starts with a business metric. The certification is re-validated against delivery, not a one-time exam score.
Six-discipline coverage
AI/ML engineering, cloud-native architecture, full-stack delivery, DevOps, data/MLOps, and security, the full stack a real build touches.
Built for the moment you need proof, not promises
Hiring for a Claude build
You want proof a developer can actually ship on Claude, not a resume that lists it as a keyword among ten other models.
Vetting an agency
CCA-F is AppUnik's internal bar every engineer clears before touching a client project, a concrete standard you can ask any vendor to match.
Scaling an existing Claude product
Your first version worked. Now you need developers who can extend it without breaking the parts that already work in production.
