The Syllabus
One skill a week. Nothing overlaps, nothing rushes.
Each week has a clear focus and a lab that ends with something finished on your own work. This is a working plan — it gets adjusted with you as the cohort progresses.
- 1 Week 1
Think with Claude
Prompt engineering
Meet the Cowork mental model — Claude as a collaborator rather than a search box — and learn what makes a good delegation prompt. We separate what Claude is genuinely good at from what people expect it to do.
Lab work
Write your first briefing document, plus a personal shortlist of 5 tasks you will delegate this month.
- 2 Week 2
Get Organized
Files and permissions
Give Claude access to the right files without giving it access to everything. Covers folder permissions, trusted workspaces, and the ask-before-acting discipline that keeps work safe.
Lab work
Organise a real folder and receipts into an expense sheet or an inbox briefing you will actually reuse.
- 3 Week 3
Research
Without copy-paste
Work through the capability ladder: connectors, then the built-in browser, then computer use — and know which one to reach for. Emphasises sources you can cite and verify.
Lab work
Build a competitor or supplier table with sources. Adapted per industry: marketing pacing, a sales account brief, or finance reconciliation.
- 4 Week 4
Communicate
Notes to something sendable
Turn raw notes and research into something a client or colleague would take seriously. Structure, tone, and the unglamorous work of a final pass.
Lab work
Bring your Week 3 research and leave with a 6-slide deck or a one-pager you would actually send.
- 5 Week 5
Automate
Projects, schedules and plugins
Where memory lives, what projects are for, and how /schedule, mobile and dispatch fit together. Set up automation you can trust to run unattended.
Lab work
Create 1 Project and 1 recurring task — for example every Monday at 08:00 Europe/Rome generating briefing.md — and install a role plugin.
- 6 Week 6
Safety & Capstone
Confidence and a 30-day plan
Plain-language safety: trusted folders, reviewing diffs, stopping a runaway task, keeping sensitive data out of previews. Closes with ROI stories and your showcase.
Lab work
Showcase: Before → Prompt → After → hours saved, plus a 30-day plan for continuing alone.
Inside Every Session
Two hours, same rhythm every week
Total: 2h of structure (120 minutes), so there is always enough time to actually practise rather than watch.
- 15m
Recap
Where you got to, what got stuck, quick wins.
- 30m
Concept + demo
One idea, shown live on a real example.
- 45m
Guided lab
You work, I coach in real time.
- 20m
Industry breakout
Tailored to your sector and your actual files.
- 10m
Homework
One concrete task before next week.
A baseline rather than a rule — batches per week and time splits can be changed to suit the group.
What you need
- → A laptop you can install software on
- → A Claude subscription (free and paid tiers both work)
- → One real piece of work you want Claude to handle better
What’s included
- ✓ Two hours of live coaching each week
- ✓ Lab work reviewed and tightened on your own files
- ✓ Between-week support if you get stuck mid-task
- ✓ A 30-day continuation plan at the end
