Claude AI for Developers: Building AI-Powered Applications Training Course

A two-day course designed for developers who already utilise AI coding tools such as Cursor, Claude Code, or Copilot. The curriculum covers delegating complete tasks to agents, constructing a personalisation stack (Rules, AGENTS.md, Skills, MCP, Agents), connecting and building MCP servers, executing agents in parallel, and implementing structured agentic workflows. The content is tool-agnostic and builds upon the Foundations course.

This two-day introductory course is designed for individuals new to AI-driven development, including those with minimal or no coding background. It explores the operational mechanics of these tools, techniques for guiding them through prompts, and practical applications for routine tasks such as creating a small project from the ground up, integrating with existing codebases, and evaluating outcomes. The curriculum is independent of specific software, making it applicable to platforms like Cursor, Claude Code, and Copilot. This course serves as a prerequisite for the Advanced Agentic AI Development: Workflows module.

By the end of this training, participants will be able to:

• Understand what Claude Cowork can do on its own
• Delegate research, document and file tasks
• Plan, review and correct delegated work
• Know limits and safe use

Claude Cowork is designed to manage comprehensive workflows—such as research, document creation, and file management—rather than responding to isolated prompts. This course guides you on how to craft effective assignments, monitor execution plans, and evaluate final outcomes. Throughout the training, participants will delegate three practical tasks and configure an automated schedule.

This live, instructor-led session in Botswana is tailored for knowledge workers, administrative assistants, and project or department leaders seeking to offload complete work processes to Claude instead of engaging in step-by-step conversations.

Upon completing this training, participants will be equipped to:

• Distinguish between interactive chat interactions and delegated workflows within Cowork
• Draft assignments that clearly define objectives, materials, constraints, and acceptance criteria
• Generate documents, spreadsheets, and presentations directly from a designated folder
• Manage the research process from initial inquiry through to a finalized report
• Leverage plugins, skills, and connectors within the Cowork environment
• Establish approval checkpoints, backup protocols, and secure folder access controls

Course Structure

• Duration: 1 day (7 hours)
• Interactive sessions featuring a trainer, open discussions, and hands-on exercises applied to participants' specific use cases
• Day 1 Deliverable: Each participant will have delegated three real-world tasks to Cowork, assessed the outputs, and established a recurring task schedule.
