Course Overview

Streamline your workload by learning custom projects, document analysis, and app integrations with Claude.

Claude for Beginners shows you how to use Anthropic's AI assistant for everyday business work, from quick questions to polished documents. The course covers the interface, model choices, personalization settings, and prompting techniques that sharpen every response. You also learn how Claude handles files, images, and web searches, plus how projects and artifacts keep long-form work organized. Two hands-on exercises turn these ideas into habits you can repeat on the job.

By the end, you can set up a profile that saves you from repeating context, choose the right model for a task, and write prompts that get useful answers the first time. Uploading a report for a quick summary, building a project for recurring work, or drafting a client email in the right tone all become routine. You also know how to check Claude's limits and connect it to tools like Drive, Microsoft 365, Gmail or Slack.
