Every question, answered straight.

No, and that is not a hedge. Day one is entirely about wiring Claude into how you already work, which requires no programming. Day two goes further into building, and roughly half of every cohort has never written production code. You will still ship something.

It is assessed on work, not attendance. You submit a build against a brief, applied to your own context, and it gets reviewed. Certificates that arrive automatically when the Zoom call ends are worth exactly what they cost to issue.

Fully. Two three-hour sessions, one per day, capped at twenty people. You can interrupt, share your screen, and get unstuck in real time. Recordings go out after, but the value is in the room.

Usually yes. Most companies cover this under an existing education or professional development budget. There is a page at /for-managers with the numbers and an email you can forward without editing.

Join the interest list and you will hear about the next cohort before it goes public. Cohorts run monthly, and seats in the current one are usually gone before the date is close.

A Claude account and a terminal. You get a setup checklist a week ahead, and there is a short pre-cohort portal that gets everyone to the same starting line so day one is not spent on installs.

Full refund up to seven days before the cohort starts. After that the seat is held and cannot be resold in time, so it becomes a credit toward a later cohort instead.

No. Claude Academy is independent training. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or operated by Anthropic. Anthropic runs their own free courses, and those are worth taking; this is a different thing, live and applied to your own work.

Parts of it, yes, and pretending otherwise would be dishonest in a field moving this fast. That is a large part of why the format is live: the curriculum gets rewritten between cohorts rather than recorded once and sold for two years.

Sessions are scheduled for US working hours, and the exact times are confirmed when you book. If attendance is impossible from your timezone, say so before paying rather than after.

Yes, sent after each session. They are a backup for something you missed, not a substitute for attending, since the value of a live room is being able to interrupt it.

Full refund up to seven days before the cohort starts, no explanation required. After that the seat cannot be resold in time, so it converts to credit toward a later cohort instead.
