Participants need a laptop and a Claude Pro or better licence.
What skills will I gain after completing the Claude AI for Productivity course?
After completing the course, you’ll be able to explain what Claude is, how it differs from other AI tools and where it fits in a business environment. You’ll know how to write clear prompts that produce useful, professional output first time, and how to use Claude to draft, refine and respond to emails and other business communications.
You’ll also be able to work with Claude directly inside Word, Excel, PowerPoint and Outlook, upload and interrogate documents and spreadsheets, and use Claude-specific tools such as Projects, Artifacts, Skills, Design and Cowork.

Do I need to have previous AI or advanced IT skills to take this course?

Which AI tools do we cover during training?
The training focuses entirely on Claude AI, used across several environments. This includes the Claude interface itself, the Claude add-ins for Word, Excel, PowerPoint and Outlook, and Claude-specific tools such as Projects, Artifacts, Skills, Code, Design and Cowork.
The final section covers AI agents, including building custom agents to automate workflows.
Is any special license or software required to use AI during training?
Yes. Participants need a Claude Pro or better licence and a laptop.
The Word, Excel, PowerPoint and Outlook sessions will need access to Microsoft 365 and the Claude add-ins, and Cowork runs in the browser and Claude desktop app. In corporate environments, installing add-ins or desktop apps often needs IT approval, so it may be worth asking IT to check this before the day.
