This course introduces you to Claude, Anthropic’s AI assistant, and teaches you how to interact with it effectively through clear, structured, and responsible prompting.
Designed for learners who are new to Claude or want to improve the quality of their AI interactions, the course focuses on understanding how Claude interprets instructions, applies safety principles, and generates responses across everyday tasks such as summarization, reasoning, comparison, and content creation.
Through guided lessons and hands-on demonstrations, you will explore Claude’s core capabilities, learn how it processes prompts, and understand the role of Constitutional AI in shaping safe and reliable outputs. You will also practice working with long documents using artifacts and observe how prompt clarity directly impacts response quality.
The course then moves into effective prompting techniques, covering prompt structure, context setting, role-based instructions, tone control, and methods for reducing ambiguity. You’ll learn how to guide Claude more precisely to get accurate, consistent, and useful results.
In the final part of the course, you will apply these skills to everyday work scenarios, including creative tasks, decision-making, reasoning exercises, and basic coding and debugging using Claude Code.
By the end of this course, you will be able to:
- Explain how Claude interprets instructions and generates responses
- Understand why Claude may refuse certain requests and how safety principles guide its behavior
- Work effectively with long documents using artifacts
- Write clear, structured prompts using context, roles, and tone
- Improve response quality through better prompt design
- Apply Claude to common professional and productivity tasks
This course is ideal for students, professionals, educators, and anyone interested in using Claude effectively for daily work and problem-solving.
No prior AI or programming experience is required.
Join this course to build a strong foundation in Claude usage and effective prompting, and learn how to communicate with AI clearly, responsibly, and confidently.

Coaching a Colleague to Craft Better Prompts did not load. The final module 3 assignment did not include a rubric outlining how it would be evaluated. I was frustrated with unclear instructions, especially with the assignment. Hated the instructor saying Meet you in the next video.

Very unclear on where to get the course materials. I could not complete the course and just unenrolled. Anyone trying to learn API coding with Claude should look elsewhere.

This course starts too fundamental and then shows lots of code and does not give you access to any of the files needed to run the demo. What a waste of time.
