Learning Context

Students learn what each of the three Claude desktop modes actually is – Chat, Code, and Cowork – what each one can do, and how to choose the right mode for any given task or workflow.

How this course works: each lesson explains the skill in plain language, shows a worked example, and ends with a student task you complete in Claude and a short quiz. The final assessment checks that you can apply the skill, not just remember it, and your saved prompts and results become reviewable training evidence.
