Claude 101
The foundational course for working with Claude. Covers prompt engineering, model capabilities, and techniques for getting consistent, high-quality results. A good reference if you want to revisit core concepts or explore them from a different angle.
Building with APIs
Deep dive into API integration patterns. Covers authentication, streaming responses, tool use (function calling), structured output, and production deployment patterns. Especially relevant if your team plans to integrate Claude into its own products.
MCP (Model Context Protocol)
Everything about extending Claude Code with external tools and services. Covers server configuration, building custom MCP servers, the protocol specification, and connecting Claude Code to databases, APIs, and internal tools. This course will be valuable as your team builds custom MCP servers for internal systems.
Claude Code Skills
Advanced Claude Code techniques beyond what is covered in this training. Topics include complex multi-file refactoring, advanced debugging workflows, team configuration patterns, and performance optimization. A good next step after you have a few weeks of daily Claude Code experience.
AI Fluency
Building intuition for AI-assisted work. This is less about specific tools and more about developing a mental model for when to delegate to AI, how to evaluate AI output, and how to build effective human-AI collaboration patterns. Recommended for anyone mentoring others on AI adoption.
Official Documentation
Claude Code Documentation
The primary reference for all Claude Code features. Key sections to bookmark:
- Getting Started: Installation, authentication, first use
- Configuration: CLAUDE.md, settings.json, permission rules
- Skills: Creating and sharing slash commands
- MCP Servers: Connecting external tools and services
- Hooks: Event-driven automation (PreToolUse, PostToolUse, etc.)
- Subagents: Custom agent definitions and parallel work
- Best Practices: Tips for effective use
- Troubleshooting: Common issues and solutions
Anthropic Platform Documentation
The complete Anthropic documentation hub. Covers the API, SDKs, prompt engineering, model capabilities, and platform features. Useful when you want to understand the underlying capabilities that power Claude Code.
Prompt Engineering Guide
platform.claude.com/docs/en/build-with-claude/prompt-engineering/overview
Detailed guide to writing effective prompts. Covers techniques like chain-of-thought reasoning, few-shot examples, structured output, and system prompts. The skills here apply directly to how you write instructions in CLAUDE.md and when prompting Claude Code interactively.
Model Context Protocol (MCP) Specification
The official MCP specification and documentation. Useful when building custom MCP servers or evaluating third-party servers for your team.
MCP Server Registry
github.com/modelcontextprotocol/servers
Community-maintained registry of MCP servers. Browse available servers for databases, APIs, and services. Check here before building a custom server — someone may have already built what you need.

Advanced Topics to Explore
Once you are comfortable with daily Claude Code use, consider exploring these areas:
Custom MCP Servers
Build MCP servers that connect Claude Code to your internal systems — databases, monitoring tools, deployment pipelines, and internal APIs. The MCP TypeScript SDK makes it straightforward to expose any data source as a Claude Code tool.
- MCP TypeScript SDK: github.com/modelcontextprotocol/typescript-sdk
Claude Code Skills
Create reusable skill definitions that encode your team’s best practices into repeatable workflows. Skills live in .claude/skills/ and can be invoked with slash commands.
- Skills examples: github.com/anthropics/skills
CI/CD Integration
Integrate Claude Code into your continuous integration pipelines for automated code review, PR description generation, and test generation on changed files. Use claude -p (non-interactive mode) with --output-format json for machine-readable output.
API Integration
Build features powered by the Claude API using the Anthropic SDKs. Use structured outputs for reliable parsing, implement proper rate limit handling, and follow production best practices.

Recommended Learning Path
First Month After Training
Week 1: Focus on daily use. Refer back to the cheat sheets and before and after examples when stuck.
Week 2: Take the Claude Code Skills course on Skilljar. It will reinforce what you learned in training and introduce advanced techniques.
Week 3: Take the MCP course on Skilljar. Start thinking about custom MCP servers for your internal tools and databases.
Week 4: Review your productivity metrics. Take the AI Fluency course. Share results and insights with your broader engineering organization.
Month Two and Beyond
- Build a custom MCP server for one of your internal systems
- Contribute to and maintain the team CLAUDE.md
- Mentor other engineers on Claude Code
- Create custom skills for your team’s most common workflows
- Host a lunch-and-learn to share your experience with other teams
