The idea behind the course

You are about to hire a genius

Claude is a little like the most overqualified assistant you will ever bring into your business. Brilliant, tireless, absurdly well read. And on day one it knows nothing about you: your clients, your voice, your rules, what it may touch and what it must never touch.

The course walks that hiring, step by step. A reference check, a contract, an onboarding, keys cut one door at a time, and a probation review at the end. Every lesson is one step of that story, and every step comes with the safety decision made in advance, by you.

The journey

Eleven lessons: from chat to agent

The course starts with the safe foundations for using Claude in chat. It finishes with agents working on their own while you are away. The first part builds the judgement the second part needs.

In chat · Claude responds to you

Lesson 1Intro: Why Claude The tool you choose is your first privacy decision. The reference check, before anyone gets hired.

Lesson 2The safe setup A few toggles that outrank every tip you will ever read. The contract, signed before day one.

Lesson 3Personalisation: Make it yours Personalisation and memory: Claude learns how you work, and you decide what it keeps.

Lesson 4Everyday chat Uploads, screenshots, model choice, saving your outputs.

Lesson 5Projects: A room for every domain Projects give each area of your work its own room: own instructions, own documents, own memory, without overlap.

Lesson 6Artifacts Real documents, tables and pages you refine in conversation and keep.

Lesson 7Skills: Your procedures manual Package a repeating job once as a Skill, then reuse it forever. Your first taste of building.

Lesson 8Connectors: Keys, handed carefully What to share, what to redact, and the first time Claude reaches into your email and files.

the line: chat becomes agents

Up to here, Claude answers when you ask. Beyond it, Claude works while you are away.

Beyond the line · Claude acts for you

Lesson 9The night shift Watch a scheduled task write your morning brief overnight, inside a Drive that holds nothing else.

Lesson 10An agent at your desk Multi-step work on your own files, sandboxed to the one folder you allow.

Consolidation

Lesson 11Checklist: The probation review Audit your whole setup against the Safe Command checklist, then complete the capstone.

Page 12The quiz Twenty questions across everything you built. Eighty percent clears the way to your certificate.

Page 13Your certificate Add your name and generate your personalised certificate of completion.

Nothing switched on before you understand it.

Every lesson has the same rhythm: what we are about to do, the idea behind it, a walkthrough on a real account, something to practise, and what changed. No lesson asks you to enable a feature before you know what it does and what it costs.

One story runs through the whole course. Ana runs a small marketing studio, and her Monday meeting notes travel with you from Lesson 4 to Lesson 9: pasted into a chat, then inside a client project, then through a saved Skill, then straight from her inbox, and finally overnight while she sleeps.

Before you decide

The practical questions

What do I need before I start?

A computer and an email address. You do not need a Claude account yet: Lesson 1 helps you decide why Claude, and Lesson 2 walks you through setting the account up safely from the very first screen.

Do I need a paid Claude plan?

The free plan carries you through most of the course. The two agent lessons near the end demonstrate features from the paid plan (Claude Pro, about €20 per month at the time of writing), and Lesson 9 is built so you learn the idea fully even if you stay free. The course tells you plainly when the paid plan starts earning its keep.

Is it technical?

No. It is written for solo professionals, workers and small teams, with no code anywhere. Technical terms appear where they help, get explained once in plain language, and are never assumed.

How is the course delivered?

Within minutes of payment an email arrives with your personal access link. Click it and the course opens in your browser, on any device. There is no account to create and no password to remember, and the only thing we hold about you is the email address the link went to.

How long do I have access?

For as long as the course exists, updates included. It is self-paced with no drip schedule and no expiry: buy once, read whenever, come back before you switch anything new on.

I mostly use ChatGPT. Is this for me?

The safety habits transfer to any AI tool. The walkthroughs, though, are unapologetically Claude. Lesson 1 makes the case that the tool you choose is itself a privacy decision, and lets you weigh it with open eyes.
