What does the Claude Code for Developers course cost?

You will find the current price at the top right of this course page, together with the schedule, location and delivery format. For in-company or bespoke courses we are happy to provide a quotation on request.

What prior knowledge do you need for the Claude Code for developers course?

You have at least two years of professional development experience and work with code every day. You are comfortable on the command line and use git and an IDE routinely. Experience with Python, JavaScript or TypeScript is useful, but other languages are fine too. No prior knowledge of AI, Claude or other LLMs is required; you learn that during the course.

Which developers is the Claude Code course suitable for?

The course suits software engineers, full-stack developers, DevOps and platform engineers and tech leads who want to become more productive with AI in their terminal workflow. You build features, fix bugs and carry out refactorings, and you want to use Claude Code as a pair programmer without handing over control. Senior developers who want to get their team working with Claude Code are also in the right place here.

What exactly do you learn in the Claude Code for Developers course?

You learn to install Claude Code and connect it to your IDE, to prompt effectively using file and line references, and to switch between agent mode and chat mode. You also practise with permissions and hooks, slash commands and custom commands, subagents for specialised subtasks and MCP servers for external tools such as a database, git, Jira and monitoring. Refactoring across multiple files, navigating large codebases and keeping an eye on your token budget are covered as well.

Can you also take the Claude Code for developers course online or in-company?

Yes. You can choose classroom training at our training venue, online via Microsoft Teams, or in-company at your own office. For in-company courses we tailor the content to your stack, codebase and team workflow. Contact us for a bespoke proposal.

Do you receive a certificate after the Claude Code for Developers course?

Yes. On completion you receive a certificate of participation from Learnit. You can add this to your LinkedIn profile or your personal development record.

What does the teaching method look like and what materials do you receive?

The course is entirely hands-on. You work on your own laptop on real tasks from your own codebase or on a sample project that we set up for you. The trainer actively looks over your shoulder in your terminal and gives immediate feedback on your approach. You receive a digital workbook with practice repositories and a reference card covering the most important commands, workflows and shortcuts.

Why learn Claude Code rather than simply carry on using GitHub Copilot?

Copilot is an autocomplete tool that offers suggestions in your editor. Claude Code works differently: it is an agent in your terminal that reads your codebase, edits several files at once, runs commands and completes tasks independently. That calls for a different way of working and directing. In this course you learn to master that agentic workflow, so you can handle larger refactorings and more complex features than with an autocomplete assistant alone.

Can you use Claude Code in your own project straight after the course?

Yes, that is the starting point. During the course you preferably practise with your own codebase, so you go home with a working setup, experience with your stack and concrete workflows you can put to use straight away. The reference card helps you quickly find the right commands and patterns in the first few weeks.

How does this differ from a general course on AI tools for developers?

A general AI course gives you an overview of tools, prompting techniques and use cases at a high level. This course goes into depth specifically on Claude Code: the agent architecture, MCP servers, subagents, hooks and the terminal workflow. If you want to know what is available on the market, choose a broader AI course. If you want to use Claude Code productively in your daily work, you are in the right place here.

Is the course suitable for tech leads who want to introduce Claude Code in their team?

Certainly. Team workflows are an explicit part of the course. You will learn how to share conventions, custom commands and subagents with colleagues, how to configure permissions and hooks so that the rest of the team can work safely, and how to make Claude Code part of your review and release process. As a tech lead, you will go home with an approach for rolling out the tool across the team.

How do you stay in control of what Claude Code does automatically in your codebase?

Staying in control is a central theme of the course. You learn to work with permissions (which commands and file operations the agent may carry out without approval), hooks (where you want to build in a manual check) and the difference between agent mode and chat mode. You practise with safety settings that suit different kinds of work: experimental on a feature branch, cautious on production code. That way you stay at the wheel, not the agent.

Claude Code for Developers course

Name: Claude Code for developers
Price: 2300.0 EUR
Availability: InStock

Claude Code brings Anthropic's agent to your terminal and changes the way you write, refactor and debug code. In this hands-on course you learn to use the tool productively in your daily development work, with you as the developer firmly in control.

Description

In this two-day hands-on course you work with Claude Code, Anthropic's agentic developer tool that runs in your terminal. You learn how to use this AI CLI in your day-to-day development work: from navigating your codebase and refactoring to writing tests, debugging and proposing commits. You stay in charge as the pair programmer.

You work on your own laptop with either your own project or an example codebase supplied by us. Day one focuses on installation, setup and the basic workflows: prompting effectively in code context, the difference between agent and chat mode, and configuring permissions and hooks. On day two you go deeper into slash commands, subagents, MCP servers and working with large codebases. Team workflows, refactoring across multiple files and keeping an eye on token budget and costs are also covered.

The course is entirely practice-based. You do work that you would genuinely do the same way tomorrow, while the trainer looks on and guides you. The small group of no more than eight participants leaves plenty of room for personal attention. The course is given in the classroom or online and is also available in-company.

Result

After this course you will work independently with Claude Code in your terminal and use the tool effectively in your day-to-day development work. You know how to install Claude, connect it to your IDE and MCP servers, and how to configure permissions and hooks safely.

Specifically, by the end you will be able to:

Adding features, fixing bugs, writing tests and reviewing code with Claude as your pair programmer
Prompting effectively in code context with file and line references
Switching between agent mode and chat mode at the right moment
Creating slash commands and custom commands for recurring workflows
Using subagents for specialised subtasks such as security checks or test generation
Connecting external tools such as databases, Jira, git and monitoring via MCP servers
Navigating large codebases and applying refactorings consistently across multiple files
Setting up team workflows and sharing conventions with colleagues
Keeping an eye on your token budget and using Claude Code cost-effectively

Target audience

This course is intended for experienced developers who want to become more productive with AI in their terminal workflow. You work with code every day and want to use Claude Code to build features faster, fix bugs and carry out larger refactorings without giving up control.

The course is intended for:

Software engineers and full-stack developers
DevOps and platform engineers
Tech leads and senior developers who want their team to work with Claude Code
Back-end and front-end developers working in Python, JavaScript, TypeScript or other languages
Developers who already have experience with AI tools such as Copilot and want to take the step towards agentic coding

Teaching method

This course is entirely hands-on. You work on your own laptop on real tasks from your own codebase, or on a sample project that we set up for you. You will not come across slides-only hours here.

The trainer looks over your shoulder as you use Claude Code in your terminal: installing, prompting, refactoring, writing tests and debugging. You receive immediate feedback on your approach and learn from what your fellow participants are doing in the group.

With a maximum of 8 participants per group, there is plenty of room for personal guidance and questions about your specific situation. The course can be followed on location (in the classroom) or online. In-company is also an option — in that case we come to you.

You will work with a digital workbook containing practice repositories and a reference card with the most commonly used commands and patterns. Claude API credits for the course days are included, so you can get started straight away without having to arrange anything yourself.

Prior knowledge

You have at least two years of professional development experience and work with code on a daily basis. You are at home on the command line and work routinely with git and your IDE. Experience with Python, JavaScript or TypeScript is useful, but other languages are fine too. Prior knowledge of AI or Claude is not required. You arrange an Anthropic account with an API key during the course.

Comments

Nothing special required. You work on your own laptop with Claude Code in the terminal; we provide the API credits for the course days. For the classroom version we take care of coffee, tea and lunch; for the online version you follow the course via a video meeting.

In-company

Would you like to organise this training for a whole group or several groups? This can be cost-effective. For example, we can tailor the content entirely to your organisation, and training a whole group is also cheaper.

Are you looking at large numbers of participants or a complete academy? That involves a great deal. Consider planning and communication, for example, or identifying and agreeing the objectives and content of the training. Or differences in level, feedback mechanisms and safeguarding. Fortunately, Learnit has extensive experience in this field (more than 25 years) and we are happy to help you through this process.
