Claude is Anthropic's AI assistant and excels at reading long documents, reasoning critically and writing consistently in your tone of voice. In this course you will learn how to use Claude.ai for your daily office work, from reports to risk analyses.
Description
Claude.ai feels different from ChatGPT or Copilot. You get longer answers, more extensive reasoning and an assistant that easily processes 100 pages of PDF without losing the thread. It is precisely these qualities that make Claude strong for work involving a lot of reading, analysing and writing.
You are introduced to the three core features of Claude.ai: Projects (fixed working environments with their own instructions and knowledge files), Artifacts (documents, letters or mock-ups that Claude builds alongside the chat) and file uploads for PDFs, spreadsheets and images. In the morning the focus is on prompting and setting up Projects; in the afternoon you apply everything to realistic work situations.
You work with your own files and cases, so you practise directly in the context of your own work. The trainer gives personal feedback and shares patterns that do and don't work for Claude. Privacy and business use are also covered: what stays within your organisation and what does not.
By the end of the day you have a working way of using Claude. You know when to choose Claude over Copilot or ChatGPT, and you have Projects and prompts ready to use straight away on Monday.

Result
After this course you will work independently with Claude.ai for your daily office work. You will know when Claude is a better choice than Copilot or ChatGPT and you will make the most of its strengths: processing long documents, reasoning critically and writing consistently in your tone of voice.
Specifically, by the end you will be able to:
- prompting effectively in Claude with the right tone, structure and examples;
- writing and rewriting reports, emails and proposals in your own style;
- uploading long PDFs, spreadsheets and images and having them analysed;
- Setting up Projects with your own instructions and knowledge files, so that Claude remembers your context;
- using Artifacts to build and adjust documents, letters and mock-ups directly in Claude;
- using Claude as a sounding board for counterarguments, blind spots and risk assessments;
- summarising long documents while retaining source references;
- make deliberate choices about what you do and do not process in Claude from a privacy and business use perspective.
Target audience
This course is intended for people who regularly write, analyse or substantiate decisions in their work and who want to use an AI assistant that thinks along critically and handles long documents well. No prior knowledge of AI is required; basic skills with web applications are sufficient.
The course is intended for:
- managers and team leaders who draw up reports, notes and decision documents;
- policy officers who do a lot of reading, summarising and advising;
- consultants and advisers who write analyses and proposals;
- lawyers working through contracts and case files;
- marketers and communications staff who write in a consistent tone;
- employees who want to use Claude as an alternative to, or in addition to, Copilot or ChatGPT.
Teaching method
You work in Claude.ai all day with realistic cases from your own job. After a short introduction on what sets Claude apart from Copilot and ChatGPT, you get started straight away: prompting, uploading files, setting up Projects and building Artifacts.
In the afternoon you apply what you have learned to writing, summarising, analysing and sparring. You bring along a working file of your own, so that you experience straight away how Claude works in your daily practice. The trainer gives personal feedback and shares patterns that do and do not work for Claude.
The group has a maximum of 8 participants, so there is plenty of room for questions and your own cases. You can take the course in the classroom or online (via a video meeting). Afterwards you will receive a digital workbook with practice files, a prompt cheat sheet for Claude and a certificate of participation.
Prior knowledge
You do not need any prior knowledge of AI. Basic skills with web applications are enough. A Claude account (free or Pro) will do; if necessary, Learnit will arrange a test account for you.
Comments
Bring a laptop and a work file of your own (a report, proposal, contract or other text you are working on), so that you can practise straight away in your own working context. A Claude account is sufficient, either free or Pro.

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.

You can find the current price at the top right of this course page, along 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 I need for the Claude for Office Work course?
You do not need any prior knowledge of AI. If you are comfortable with web applications and work with documents, email and Office programs on a daily basis, you can take part straight away. Experience with ChatGPT or Copilot is useful, but not a requirement. A Claude account (free or Pro) will do; if necessary, Learnit will arrange a test account for you.
Who is the Claude for Office Work course suitable for?
The course suits anyone who writes, reads or substantiates decisions a great deal in their daily work. Think of managers, policy officers, consultants, lawyers, marketers and communications professionals. If you regularly work with long documents or are looking for an AI assistant that thinks along with you critically, Claude will fit your work well.
What exactly will you learn in the Claude for Office Work course?
You will learn to work in Claude.ai: prompting with the right tone and structure, setting up Projects with your own instructions and knowledge files, building Artifacts and uploading files for analysis. You will also practise writing and rewriting in your own style, summarising long documents, analysing critically and using Claude as a sounding board for decisions. Privacy and business use are covered as well.
Can I take the Claude for Office Work course online or in-company?
Yes. You can take the course in the classroom at one of our locations or online via Microsoft Teams or Google Meet. Both variants have the same content, the same trainer and the same small group size. In-company at your own location is also possible, with the option of tailoring the programme to the work situations of your team.
Do I receive a certificate after the Claude for Office Work course?
Yes, afterwards you will receive a digital certificate of participation from Learnit. It states the course name, the date and the duration. The certificate is a useful addition to your CV or LinkedIn profile and shows that you can work independently with Claude.ai.
Which teaching methods and materials do you use in the course?
The course is largely hands-on: you work in Claude.ai with realistic cases and your own work file. The trainer alternates short explanations with exercises, live demos and feedback moments. Afterwards you receive a digital workbook with practice files and a prompt cheat sheet that you can use at work straight away.
Why should I choose Claude and not ChatGPT or Copilot?
Claude excels at three things: processing long documents (100+ pages without losing the thread), critical reasoning and writing consistently in a specific tone. ChatGPT and Copilot are strong in other scenarios, such as image generation or Office integration. In the course you learn exactly when to choose Claude and when another tool is a better fit.
How do I apply Claude in my daily work after the course?
You will leave with working Projects, prompts and Artifacts that you can put to use straight away. For recurring work such as reports, e-mails, contract reviews or advisory notes, you set up a Project with the right instructions and knowledge files. For one-off jobs, you upload files and work with sharply written prompts. You will also learn where the limits lie: which information you should and should not share with Claude.
What is the difference with the Learnit ChatGPT or Copilot course?
The Claude for Office Work course focuses specifically on Claude.ai and the Projects, Artifacts and file upload features. Our ChatGPT and Copilot courses cover those tools and their own strengths (such as GPTs, plug-ins and Microsoft 365 integration). Many participants take several courses so they can choose the right tool for each situation. Our advisers will be happy to help you find a suitable learning path.
Is the course suitable for lawyers who work with confidential documents?
Yes, and the section on privacy and business use is particularly important for lawyers. You learn what Claude does and does not do with your input, how to handle confidential documents and which settings are relevant for business use. You also practise contract analysis, summarising case files and drafting legal correspondence in a consistent tone.
What about privacy and the security of my documents in Claude?
Anthropic applies different terms to business subscriptions than to consumer use: on business plans, your input is not used for model training by default. During the course we discuss which subscription suits which situation, which data you are better off not putting into an AI tool and how to make agreements about responsible use within your organisation. This allows you to make informed choices about what you do and do not share with Claude.
