Anthropic’s Claude Academy Offers Free Courses for Claude Code, API and Agents

Anthropic launched Claude Academy, introducing a free education platform with courses and tutorials for learning how to use and build with Claude. The platform is open to anyone and offers material for different experience levels, ranging from introductory lessons to technical training on Claude Code, the Claude API, agents and other development tools.

Rather than putting users through a single curriculum, Claude Academy organizes its material around different areas of the Claude ecosystem. Its Build with Claude collection provides introductory resources alongside more technical courses covering the API, Model Context Protocol (MCP), agent development, skills and tool use. That structure gives people who are new to Claude a place to learn the fundamentals without requiring them to begin with developer-focused material. Users with more experience can move directly into courses related to programming, automation and application development.

Claude Code is a major focus of the initial course catalog. Claude Academy includes Claude Code 101, an introductory course covering the coding tool and its main workflows. The course consists of 12 lessons followed by a quiz and is intended for developers who are unfamiliar with Claude Code.

A separate course, Claude Code in Action, moves into more involved coding workflows. Its curriculum covers longer autonomous sessions as well as configuration, steering, automation and verification.

Anthropic has also created tutorials addressing individual Claude Code capabilities. Topics include agent skills, subagents, effort levels and remote control, allowing developers to focus on specific features rather than completing a broader course.

The curriculum extends beyond Claude Code. Developers looking to build around Anthropic's models can find material covering the Claude API, agents, MCP and tool use. Together, the resources provide a path from learning Claude's basic functionality to working with the components used to create applications and more advanced workflows.

Anthropic is making all of the courses and tutorials available without requiring users to purchase a training program. That allows learners to choose material based on their existing knowledge and work through it at their own pace.

Claude Academy gives Anthropic a centralized destination for teaching users about a product lineup that now extends beyond interacting with Claude through a conventional AI chat interface. With separate learning resources for coding, APIs, agents and related tools, the platform is designed to support both people getting started with Claude and developers looking to work with its more technical capabilities.
