AI at WorkIntroduction to Skills in Claude

- Yes. Every course is free to read in full with no signup and no card, and finishing one lets you print a free certificate of completion or add it to your LinkedIn profile.

- No. LearnWithZavi is an independent school and is not affiliated with Anthropic. The courses teach practical use of Claude for non-technical people. For official product details, pricing and availability, check Anthropic's own website, since those change often.

- Do I need to know how to code?
- No. The courses are written for people who use Claude in everyday work, not developers building on Anthropic's API. The Skills course is the most technical of the set and is marked Intermediate.

- Start with Introduction to Claude Cowork if you want Claude to take on multi-step work with your files, or with Prompt Engineering if you want better answers from any AI assistant first.
