Description
“This course contains the use of artificial intelligence.”

Most people use Claude the way they use a search engine: type a question, copy the answer, then do the real work themselves. That habit is exactly why so many new Claude seats go unused. This course teaches the shift that changes your working week: treating Claude as a colleague you delegate work to, not a chatbot you interrogate.

It is built for non-technical professionals on Microsoft 365, and it is deliberately short. The shared core plus the one role track that matches your job takes under 80 minutes, and it ends with one real task you can hand to Claude the same day.

By the end of this course, you will know how to
- Pick the right surface for the job: Chat for quick answers, Projects for persistent context, and Cowork for delegated multi-step work

- Write a request as an outcome you hand off, with the context and output format Claude needs to get it right the first time

- Use Projects and memory so Claude carries your context instead of you re-explaining it in every chat

- Connect Microsoft 365 and know exactly what Claude can read (Outlook, SharePoint, OneDrive, Teams) versus what it can write (editable Excel workbooks, native PowerPoint slides, tracked-changes Word documents)

- Run a full cross-app workflow in one Cowork session: analyze a spreadsheet in Excel, turn it into a PowerPoint deck, and draft the Outlook email that sends it

- Verify Claude's output with a simple three-step habit, recognize the tasks you should never delegate blind, and follow sensible data and connector hygiene

- Set up recurring scheduled tasks and dispatch work to Claude from your phone
