Course Description
Overview
This Claude Foundations, Accelerated course delivers the same learning outcomes as Claude Foundations in a single day, compressed for experienced LLM practitioners who need Claude-specific orientation rather than foundational instruction. Time otherwise spent on general LLM concepts is reallocated to Claude's distinctive surfaces — Projects, Artifacts, Skills, Connectors, MCP, and Claude Code.Please note: CL-100B is an alternative to CL-100A, not an addition to it.
Objectives
Upon completion of the Claude Foundations, Accelerated course, students will be able to:
- Describe the Claude ecosystem and identify which surface (API, Claude.ai, Claude Code) fits a given task
- Make Claude API calls with appropriate model and parameter selection for production-quality work
- Apply Claude-specific prompting patterns including structured output and few-shot for reliable results
- Use Projects, Artifacts, and Skills in Claude.ai to organize ongoing work and reusable instructions
- Configure Connectors and explain MCP's role in extending Claude with external tools and data
- Run Claude Code for terminal-based development tasks and explain when to reach for it
- Identify the practitioner-level decisions
Audience
Solution architects and developers with prior hands-on experience using large language models from any provider, beginning a technical Claude track and needing Claude-specific orientation without foundational LLM instruction.
Prerequisites
-
Demonstrated hands-on experience with at least one LLM API (Anthropic, OpenAI, Google, or equivalent), including prompting, tool use, and structured output. Working proficiency in Python or JavaScript.
