Claude Academy
Also: Anthropic Academy, academy.claude.com
Anthropic's free training platform at academy.claude.com, launched on August 20, 2026. It holds 355 resources: 22 courses, 119 tutorials, 148 role-specific use cases, and live webinars, with badges and completion tracking. `anthropic.com/learn` redirects there. The catalog covers AI fundamentals through the AI Fluency courses, product training for claude.ai, Cowork, Claude Code, Claude Tag, and the Platform, and task recipes by department. Everything is open to anyone with an email address. It is distinct from the **Claude Certification Program** — four proctored Pearson VUE exams costing $99 to $175 that require a work email at a Claude Partner Network organisation, which excludes most independent practitioners.
In practice
A new AI Agent Manager takes Claude 101 and AI Capabilities and Limitations in their first fortnight — about six hours — and stops guessing at why the model behaves the way it does. What Academy will not teach them is what to do in month six, when adoption has plateaued at 30% and the CFO wants the spend justified.
