Head to head
Cred Farmer vs Tutorials Dojo: which should you use?
Tutorials Dojo is the better fit for readers who say “I learn from video or an instructor”. Cred Farmer scores higher for the other 6 profiles.
Cred Farmer publishes this comparison and is one of the two platforms in it. Every figure below links to Tutorials Dojo's own page and carries the date we read it. The verdict is computed from published weightings, not written by us.
- The site contradicts itself on where its Claude questions come from. The CCAR-F and CCAO-F practice-exam product pages and the CCAR-F course page all read 'CLEAR AND ERROR-FREE QUESTIONS – Every question is thoroughly reviewed for clarity, quality, and alignment with trusted Microsoft resources.' on Claude products, while five sibling pages (the CCAO-F, CCDV-F and CCAR-P practice-exam course pages and the CCDV-F and CCAR-P product pages) carry the same sentence ending 'trusted Anthropic resources' instead.
- Two SKUs display two different prices depending on which page a buyer lands on. The CCAR-P Practice Exams course page reads 'Take this Course $4.99 USD $4.99 USD' while the shop lists that product at '$ 14.99'; the CCAO-F Video Course page reads '$4.99' while the shop lists '$ 12.99'.
- The CCDV-F Study Guide eBook description names the wrong credential: 'Our Claude Certified Associate – Foundations (CCDV-F) Study Guide eBook contains the essential Claude concepts, practical skills, and foundational knowledge needed to help prepare for the certification exam.'
- The flagship CCAR-F practice-exam course carries a stale credential code throughout. Its URL slug is /courses/claude-certified-architect-foundations-cca-f-practice-exams/ and every quiz inside is named CCA-F rather than CCAR-F ('Claude Certified Architect Foundations CCA-F (Randomized Test) – Instructions', 'Section-Based – Agentic Architecture & Orchestration (CCA-F)' and seven more), while the product is sold as CCAR-F and its tag list is dominated by CCA-F tags.
- The Tutorials Dojo for Business page carries an unsourced success statistic: 'Proven Certification Success – 94% pass rate across AWS, Azure, and GCP certifications with our guided learning paths.' No methodology, sample size or date is given. It is scoped to AWS, Azure and GCP and is not claimed for the Claude exams, but it sits on the same purchase funnel.
- Raw front-end markup was published in the body text of all four Claude sampler descriptions (CCAR-F, CCAO-F, CCDV-F and CCAR-P), each beginning its Description block with '@w-sm /main:[--thread-content-margin:--spacing(6)] @w-lg/main:[--thread-content-margin:--spacing(16)] px-(--thread-content-margin)">', indicating copy pasted from an authoring tool without review.
Who wins, by what you need
Each row is that profile's published weighting applied to both platforms' criterion scores. Nothing here is hand-assigned: change the weights and the winners change.
| If you say… | Cred Farmer | Tutorials Dojo | Better fit |
|---|---|---|---|
| Balanced overall | 90 | 58 | Cred Farmer |
| I want one system for all four exams | 92 | 60 | Cred Farmer |
| I only need one exam | 92 | 52 | Cred Farmer |
| I want the best free option | 89 | 52 | Cred Farmer |
| I learn from video or an instructor | 52 | 66 | Tutorials Dojo |
| My exam is in two weeks | 96 | 52 | Cred Farmer |
| I am preparing a team | 82 | 66 | Cred Farmer |
What each one is better at
Where Tutorials Dojo is stronger
- Every one of the four Claude certifications has a free 20-question sampler in Timed and Review mode with bonus flashcards, including CCAR-P: the exam most providers publish nothing free for.
- The per-certification study guides and Claude cheat sheets on tutorialsdojo.com sit outside the login wall entirely, and the study guides carry fully worked sample questions with a paragraph explaining why each individual wrong option is wrong.
- The domain weights they publish match the certification exam guides exactly (CCAO-F at 14/21/12/16/12/15/10 and CCAR-F at 27/18/20/20/15), and their section-based test sets are cut along those same domains, so per-domain practice follows the real blueprint rather than an invented one.
- The video instruction is substantial rather than a token add-on: 99 lessons and 7+ hours for CCAR-F and 71 lessons and 4+ hours for CCAO-F, each carrying a full 60-question practice exam, with a course certificate on the CCAR-F course.
- Pricing is low and one-off ($14.99 a practice course, $12.99 a video course, $4.99 an eBook, with CCAR-F bundles from $18.49), and the practice-exam and video courses both publish a Slack support channel, with the practice-exam pages adding a stated 72-hour instructor response time.
- Each study-guide eBook page offers a free downloadable preview snippet before purchase.
- Taught delivery: scores 4/5 against our 0/5.
- Team and operational readiness: scores 4/5 against our 3/5.
Where Cred Farmer is stronger
- Practice depth: we score 5/5 against their 2/5.
- Retention system: we score 5/5 against their 2/5.
- Evidence and transparency: we score 4/5 against their 1/5.
- Structured learning: we score 5/5 against their 3/5.
- Mock-exam realism: we score 5/5 against their 3/5.
- Diagnostics and personalisation: we score 5/5 against their 3/5.
- Certification coverage: we score 5/5 against their 4/5.
- Value and access: we score 4/5 against their 3/5.

| Cred Farmer | Tutorials Dojo | |
|---|---|---|
| Certifications covered | All four: CCAO-F, CCDV-F, CCAR-F and CCAR-P, in one account, each with five timed forms, drills by objective, a readiness score, a study guide mapped to the published domains and a flashcard deck.Evidence“Study guides mapped to every domain, spaced-repetition flashcards, and five timed forms per exam built to its published blueprint are available across all four tracks, and every timed form contributes blueprint-based practice evidence.” | All four Claude certifications have a paid practice-exam course at $14.99: CCAR-F, CCAO-F, CCDV-F and CCAR-P. The wider Claude catalogue is 12 paid SKUs (four practice-exam courses, four video courses, four study-guide eBooks), two of the video courses not yet being purchasable, plus four free 20-question samplers that sit in a separate free-practice-exams category.Evidence“Claude Practice Exams Showing all 4 results Default sorting Sort by popularity Sort by latest Sort by price: low to high Sort by price: high to low Claude Certified Architect Foundations CCAR-F Practice Exams $ 14.99 Add to cart Claude Certified Associate Foundations CCAO-F Practice Exams $ 14.99 Add to cart Claude Certified Developer Foundations CCDV-F Practice Exams $ 14.99 Add to cart Claude Certified Architect Professional CCAR-P Practice Exams $ 14.99 Add to cart” |
| Practice questions | 1,180, every option explained. 300 CCAO-F, 265 CCDV-F, 300 CCAR-F and 315 CCAR-P across the four gated banks, every item tagged to a published domain and objective and practised in the timed forms, in drills by objective or by domain, and in drills built from your own misses. A separate public set feeds the no-account practice papers and samples.Evidence“1,180 questions written to the published exam blueprints, five timed forms per exam at the real exam's length and time limit, and a reason for every option, right or wrong, so you learn from each mistake.” | Published per exam, but only in the free samplers' upsell copy rather than on the paid product pages: CCAR-F 100+, CCAO-F 80+, CCDV-F 70+ and CCAR-P 70+ scenario-based questions. Each free sampler is 20 questions. The paid course pages publish quiz counts instead of item counts: 12 quizzes for CCAR-F, CCAO-F and CCAR-P, 13 for CCDV-F.Evidence“To take preparation further, upgrade to the premium version of this course: Claude Certified Architect – Foundations (CCAR-F) Practice Exams — featuring 100+ high-quality scenario-based questions, multiple training modes, and expanded flashcards to ensure comprehensive readiness for the CCAR-F certification.” |
| Study material | Exam-focused study guides. One per certification, organised by the published domains and objectives, with written hands-on labs, a glossary and per-domain cheat sheets, and a public study guide per certification that reads with no account. Written material only: no video and no instructor.Evidence“Focused Study Guides Structured chapters mapped directly to the exam objectives.” | Recorded video courses at $12.99 exist for two of the four exams: CCAR-F (7+ hours, 99 lessons, one full 60-question practice exam, interactive flashcards, course certificate) and CCAO-F (4+ hours, 71 lessons, one full 60-question practice exam). The CCDV-F and CCAR-P video courses are listed with no price and their pages say the course is in development. Study Guide eBooks are $4.99 for each of the four exams (CCAR-F and CCDV-F 200+ pages, CCAR-P 300+ pages; the CCAO-F eBook page says it is in development). Free, no-login study-guide articles per certification and free Claude cheat sheets covering Claude Code, Claude API, Claude Managed Agents and the Claude Agent SDK sit on tutorialsdojo.com.Evidence“7+ Hours of Video Content 1 Full 60-Question Practice Exam 99 Lessons Interactive Flashcards Unlimited Access for 1 Year Slack support Course Certificate” |
| Full-length timed mocks | 20 full-length timed forms: five per certification at the real item count and 120-minute clock (60 / 53 / 60 / 63 items), each built to its published domain weights, four as mock exams and the fifth an objective-mastery form. The CCAR-F forms each present four of the six published scenarios with their items grouped under them. Flag items as you go, then review the reason for every option by domain and by objective.Evidence“In length, they match: every timed form in your account has the real exam's question count and time limit (CCAO-F 60 questions in 120 minutes, CCAR-F 60 questions in 120 minutes, CCAR-P 63 questions in 120 minutes and CCDV-F 53 questions in 120 minutes).” | Four training modes per practice-exam course (Randomized Test, Timed Mode, Review Mode and Section-Based Tests) packaged as 12 quizzes for CCAR-F, CCAO-F and CCAR-P and 13 for CCDV-F. CCAO-F, CCDV-F and CCAR-P each ship a quiz named Diagnostic Set in both Timed and Review mode; CCAR-F instead ships three timed and three review sets. The item count of each timed set is not published. The only full-length paper published at a real exam item count is the '1 Full 60-Question Practice Exam' inside the CCAR-F and CCAO-F video courses, which are separate $12.99 purchases.Evidence“This practice test course comes with four training modes: (1) Randomized Test, (2) Timed Mode, (3) Review Mode, and (4) Section-Based Tests.” |
| Flashcards | Yes: a rapid-recall deck per certification inside the account, served through a spaced-repetition drill, plus a 40-card open deck per certification with no account.Evidence“Flashcard drills resurface each concept right before you'd forget it.” | Yes, on all four exams. Every practice-exam course lists a bonus flashcard section in its description, Interactive Flashcards appears in the Course Includes block of the video courses, and all four free 20-question samplers include flashcards.Evidence“BONUS FLASHCARDS – Quick visual aids that help reinforce Claude architecture patterns, tool-calling behavior, agent workflows, configuration concepts, and prompt engineering strategies.” |
| Spaced repetition | Yes: an SM-2 scheduler, scheduling each card individually from a four-way rating, with lapses requeued inside the same session.Evidence“Study guides mapped to every domain, spaced-repetition flashcards, and five timed forms per exam built to its published blueprint are available across all four tracks, and every timed form contributes blueprint-based practice evidence.” | Not published |
| Diagnostics | Objective-level: every timed form is scored by domain and by objective, the weakest domains are ranked from measured results and linked to the chapter that covers them, and each objective you got wrong routes you to a drill on it. Drills can also be built by domain or from your own misses.Evidence“Beside the score, each objective you got wrong routes you to a drill on that objective.” | Every practice-exam course advertises a per-attempt test report for tracking progress and identifying weak areas, and three of the four courses (CCAO-F, CCDV-F, CCAR-P) ship a quiz explicitly named Diagnostic Set in both Timed and Review mode. Section-based test sets are cut along the certification's published domains (seven for CCAO-F and CCAR-P, eight for CCDV-F, five for CCAR-F), so a weak domain can be drilled directly. Whether the report breaks a score down per domain is not published, and no cross-attempt trend view is described.Evidence“INCLUDES A TEST REPORT – Track your progress, identify weak areas, and measure readiness for the official exam.” |
| Readiness / adaptive path | A per-certification readiness score gated on measured answers: 60% performance, 40% preparation (study path, objective coverage and streak). The first sitting of each form, guided or timed, sets the band and preparation moves the score only within it: below the pass mark it stays under 60, and Exam-ready (90) needs a first-sitting average of 800. Drills, re-sits and the diagnostic never count as evidence, and a study section counts only when its checkpoint questions are answered correctly. Set an exam date and the hours you can give, and a dated plan lays the work out day by day: sections to read, drills on objectives measured weak, and full-length mocks spread across the days before the exam. It says when the work does not fit, and it makes no pass prediction.Evidence“Study path progress, objective coverage and your streak move the score within that band, never past it.” | Not published |
| Free tier | All free during open beta: all four certifications, every study guide, every timed form and every drill. With no account: a timed practice paper, six sample items, a 40-card deck and a study guide per certification; the rest needs a free account.Evidence“Right now, Cred Farmer is completely free while we are in open beta.” | A free 20-question sampler is published for each of the four Claude exams, in Timed and Review mode with bonus flashcards, listed at FREE in the shop; it still goes through Add to cart and an account.

Which to choose
Choose Tutorials Dojo if…
- You are sitting CCAR-F or CCAO-F and you learn by being taught rather than tested: their $12.99 video courses run 99 lessons / 7+ hours and 71 lessons / 4+ hours, each with a full 60-question exam. Cred Farmer publishes no video and no instructor at all, and scores 0 on taught delivery because of it.
- You want to read a real study guide and worked question explanations before creating an account anywhere: their per-certification study guides and Claude cheat sheets have no login wall, while Cred Farmer opens a public study guide and six worked samples per code but keeps its full guides behind a signup.
- You are buying for a team and need per-seat pricing and a management dashboard now: Tutorials Dojo publishes an Enterprise plan at $99.99/mo or $599.99/yr with team management and progress tracking, though you should confirm with their sales team that the Claude products are included in a seat. Cred Farmer's organisation layer is a pilot set up on request, with no seat pricing.
- You prefer to study from a book you download and keep rather than a web app: their study-guide eBooks are $4.99 for 200-300 pages with a free preview snippet, and the CCAR-F video-plus-practice-plus-eBook bundle is $26.48.
Choose Cred Farmer if…
- You want to practise the way the exam is sat: five full-length timed forms per exam at the real item count and clock, with a reason for every option when you review.
- You want each study session chosen by what you got wrong: every missed objective routes you to a drill on it, and you can drill by domain or from your own misses.
- You have booked an exam and want an honest read of your practice results, from a score capped by your first sitting of each form rather than by activity, and a dated plan that lays out each day until the exam.
- You want to sit a free timed practice paper for your exam right now, with no account, and see a raw score by domain.
- You expect to sit more than one Claude certification and want one setup for all four.
- You are preparing other people and want to see who is measurably ready, with each person opting in, before you fund an exam.
What Tutorials Dojo does not offer
- No spaced repetition or scheduled review is published anywhere on the Claude pages; flashcards are described as a bonus section per course.
- No adaptive difficulty and no readiness score are published: 'adaptive' does not appear on any Claude page, and the only progress feature named is a per-attempt test report.
- Video courses are purchasable for only two of the four exams: the CCDV-F and CCAR-P video course pages both read 'This video course is currently in development.'
- The CCAO-F Study Guide eBook is on sale at $4.99 while its own page says it is currently in development and will be available soon.
- The published item counts (CCAR-F 100+, CCAO-F 80+, CCDV-F 70+, CCAR-P 70+) appear only in the free samplers' upsell copy, not on the paid product pages a buyer is checking out from.
- No full-length paper at a real exam item count is published for CCDV-F or CCAR-P; the only '1 Full 60-Question Practice Exam' sits inside the CCAR-F and CCAO-F video courses, which are separate purchases. The practice-exam courses do not publish how many items a timed set holds.
- Everything interactive is behind an account: all six Claude course pages present a login wall, and even the $0 samplers require Add to cart and checkout.
- Paid practice and video courses are time-boxed to 12 months rather than permanent; the four free sampler pages publish no access term at all.
- The Business Enterprise plan never names the Claude certifications, not in the plan card, not in the feature matrix, and not in its own answer to which certifications it covers.
Observable gaps in what the site publishes, not judgements about quality. We have run no blind review of anyone's questions, including our own, so nothing here compares how good the content is, only what each platform offers.

Common questions
Is Tutorials Dojo better than Cred Farmer?
Tutorials Dojo is the better fit for readers who say “I learn from video or an instructor”. Cred Farmer scores higher for the other 6 profiles. Under the balanced weighting, Tutorials Dojo scores 58 and Cred Farmer scores 90 out of 100. The weightings are published and adjustable, so the honest answer depends on which exam you are sitting and what you can spend.
Is this comparison independent?
No. Cred Farmer publishes it and is one of the two platforms in it. That is why the rubric is published, every figure links to Tutorials Dojo's own pages with the date it was checked, and the verdict above is computed from those published weightings rather than written by us.
Is Tutorials Dojo an official Anthropic product?
No. Neither is Cred Farmer. Anthropic publishes the exam guides and Pearson VUE delivers the exams; every platform in this comparison is independent of both.
How current are these figures?
Everything here was read on Tutorials Dojo's own site on 3 September 2026. Prices, question counts and free tiers change without notice, so follow the source links before you rely on a figure, and email hello@credfarmer.com if you find one out of date.
