Claude Code for Beginners: 2 Day Launchpad

Avthar Sewrathan

AI Product Leader & AI Coding Educator

Go from FOMO to full of confidence with Claude Code

Claude Code is the most important AI tool to learn in 2026. This course teaches you the fundamentals in a hands-on, supportive environment.

You'll go from zero to feeling confident with Claude Code in a single weekend. You'll learn the fundamental features of Claude Code, how to plan and build with a repeatable system, and how to fit Claude Code into your existing tools and workflows.

Every topic is taught through live demos, followed by a hands-on activity to immediately put into practice what you learned. Plus help whenever you need it during in-class build time, live Q+A and async via Slack.

What you'll walk away with:

  • A working app, dashboard, landing page, or workflow you built during the course.

  • Repeatable systems for research, planning, building and testing you can apply to every future project.

  • Claude Code resources and systems for you to keep using after the course ends.

This course offers things that I can’t via YouTube like live Q+A, in-class support, and personalized help when you’re stuck. You’ll also get accountability and community from your cohort batch peers, which makes it a friendly, supportive environment.
