Claude for Beginners

This course includes downloadable course instructor files to follow along.

Claude for Beginners introduces Anthropic's AI assistant and shows you how to use it for real business tasks, from quick answers to full reports. This course helps you move past casual chatting and start using Claude as a dependable part of your daily work. Many new users treat Claude like a search engine or leave it on default settings, missing most of what it offers. The training starts by explaining what Claude does well, where it can go wrong, and how free, Pro, Max, and Enterprise plans differ, so you know what to expect before you rely on it.

From there, you learn how to build practical skills. You explore how to navigate the interface, pick between the Opus, Sonnet, and Haiku models, and set an effort level that fits the task. Profile instructions, memory, and project settings let you personalize Claude, so it remembers context instead of starting fresh each time. You put these skills to work in real scenarios: uploading a report for Claude to summarise, researching a topic with citations, drafting a client email in the right tone, and building a document inside a project. Two guided exercises show how to combine projects, model choice, and prompting frameworks such as RACE and RISEN into a single workflow.

By the end, you will know how to set up Claude to suit your work, write prompts that get quality results the first time, and connect tools like Gmail or Drive for faster results. This course is suitable for any non-technical professional who wants a practical way to use AI at work.

In this course, you will learn how to:

• Create your Claude profile and account instructions.
