Prerequisites

  • Comfortable writing and running code (Python is used in the examples).
  • Familiarity with a terminal and Git.
  • No prior experience with AI coding tools required.

What you'll learn

  • Direct Claude Code with confidence instead of just prompting it
  • Write specs and tests that keep AI output precisely on track
  • Build reusable skills and MCP connections for your own workflow
  • Deliver a production-ready repository built with AI assistance

What you'll learn, module by module

  1. 1

    From Prompting to Context Engineering

    Why Claude Code is different, understanding the tool loop, installing and your first project, verifying output, and writing a testable CLAUDE.md.

  2. 2

    Spec-Driven Development

    Prompt errors and scope, the specificity ladder, debugging with evidence, breaking down tasks, and refining specifications with plan mode.

  3. 3

    Skills & MCP

    From sessions to systems, the spec-driven build loop, automated tests, settings and hooks, context hygiene, and delivering a production-ready repo.

Option 1

Through your employer

We can invoice your employer directly, with 30 days to pay. If it helps, we'll give you a training plan to discuss internally.

Option 2

With a government contribution

A UWV training voucher or a municipal voucher can cover (part of) the cost. We're on the approved lists, CRKBO-registered, and glad to help with the application.

Training with colleagues? Your employer may be able to use the SLIM subsidy; we're happy to do the application together.
