Anthropic Courses is a collection of free, self-paced courses on the Anthropic developer portal covering prompt engineering, API basics, and building AI applications with Claude. Courses include hands-on exercises with real Claude API calls. After finishing, you understand Anthropic's approach to AI and can build applications. The courses range from beginner (Prompt Engineering for Everyone) to advanced (Multimodal Capabilities). The main limitation: the course collection evolves; not all courses have the same depth of content.
About This Course
Anthropic's open-source course catalogue covering the Claude API fundamentals, prompt evaluations, real-world prompting, prompt engineering, and tool use. Each course is a hands-on Jupyter notebook series.

Frequently Asked Questions
Are Anthropic's courses free?
Yes, all official Anthropic courses are free.
What's the order to learn them?
Start with Prompt Engineering for Everyone, then Intro to the Claude API, then pick advanced courses based on your interest (Vision, RAG, etc.).
Do I need API credits?
The courses use a limited free tier. You can work through most examples without paid credits.
How does this compare to other AI courses?
Anthropic courses go deep on Claude-specific techniques. For broader AI knowledge, pair this with Andrew Ng's AI courses.
What should I build after this?
An AI agent that solves a real problem: a chatbot, a data analysis tool, a content generator. Use the Claude API.

Hugging Face LLM Course
Learn to build and deploy with transformers and large language models in this 12-chapter course from Hugging Face. You'll start with NLP fundamentals, then move into modern LLM techniques: tokenization, fine-tuning, reasoning models, and building shareable demos. By the end, you'll know how to use pre-trained models, customize them on your own data, and integrate them into real applications. Best if you have some Python experience; the course assumes basic familiarity with machine learning. Fair warning: LLM chapters move fast, so budget time for rereading.
