Anthropic Academy
Courses and hands-on training for everyone working with Claude — from first steps to production.
Built by Anthropic and Udacity
Curriculum designed by the team that builds Claude, in partnership with Udacity. Not a wrapper on docs — courses built around how people actually learn to use AI.
Claude teaches, not reads
Claude interviews you, builds a personalized plan, teaches concept-by-concept with hands-on exercises, and checks your understanding before moving on.
