Domain weighting
7 domains. The proportions below are what the exam actually tests, so practice should mirror them.
Who it's for
Professionals who use Claude as a productivity tool, rather than building with it.
- Operations
- Marketing
- Project management
- Education
- Communications
Not for: Software developers building against APIs or designing agentic systems, and specialists in machine learning or advanced AI system design. That scope belongs to the Developer and Architect credentials.
Practise the real thing
A full question bank for CCAO-F, weighted to the blueprint above, so the proportion you practise matches the proportion the exam tests. Timed 60-question simulation with scaled scoring, plus a written explanation on every option, right and wrong.
One-time payment. Sitting CCAO-F itself costs $99, and a failed attempt means waiting 14 days before you can retake it.
