Every free Claude course from Anthropic, with the link and the order to take them

15 courses became 27

Anthropic kept adding courses. The 15 from the post are all still there, plus 12 new ones, and the whole library moved.

Three paths, in the order I would take them

Do not take all 27. That is 81.25 hours. Pick the path that matches you, start at the top, and only move down when the last course felt easy. Tap any course to open it.

Hours are Anthropic's own estimates on each course page, checked October 28, 2026.

The 4D framework, in one picture

Every AI Fluency course, from students to small businesses, teaches the same four habits. Learn them once and every other course gets faster.

The practice prompt: turn any lesson into real work

Use it after every lesson. Watching is not learning; using it on your own work the same day is.

Help me practise what I just learned in a Claude Academy lesson on one real task from my work.

The lesson I just finished: [lesson and course, e.g. Getting better results, Claude 101]
The 3 ideas I took from it: [e.g. give context, show an example, say the format you want]
My work: [what you do and for whom, e.g. I edit reels for 3 fitness coaches in Lahore]
One real task I have this week: [e.g. write captions for 5 reels from their transcripts]

Do this:
1. In 2 lines, tell me which part of this task I should hand to you and which part I should keep (Delegation).
2. Write the prompt I should use for the task, using the 3 ideas, with [brackets] for anything you still need from me (Description).
3. Give me a 4-point checklist to judge your answer before I use it (Discernment).
4. Name one thing I must check or tell the client before this goes out (Diligence).

Rules: ask me up to 3 questions first if anything is unclear. Do not invent facts about my clients, numbers or results. Keep it under 300 words.
Finish with the prompt from step 2 on its own so I can copy it.

From link to badge in five steps

Every course on Claude Academy works the same way.

The courses are free. Practising some of them is not.

Watching costs nothing. To do the exercises in a few courses you need a paid plan or an account somewhere else. Know this before you start.

Prices in US dollars from claude.com/pricing, checked October 2026. Claude.ai and the API are both on Anthropic's supported countries list for Pakistan, India, the UAE and Saudi Arabia. The Claude Certified Architect exam is a separate, paid exam ($125), not one of these free courses.

Every course: what it teaches, how long, who it is for

Tap who you are and the courses for you stay lit. NEW means it was added after my April post.
