Course overview

The complete Claude Code programme, combining the 101 and 201 into one intensive week. Begin by building your first simple tools and finish able to create custom integrations and MCP servers.

Built for technically curious professionals who want to build with Claude properly, with every session applied to real projects and capped at six delegates for genuine hands-on attention.

Who's It For?

  1. Technically curious professionals who want the full journey
    and prefer one continuous week over two separate courses with a gap between them

  2. Freelancers and operators who want to build independently
    without relying on developers for every tool or automation they need

  3. Those who would otherwise book both courses anyway
    and want the momentum of doing it all in one block

  4. Anyone starting from scratch who wants to go all the way
    no coding background needed to begin, no ceiling on where you finish

What you'll learn

By the end of this course, you will be able to move from your first Claude-assisted build to connected tools, custom integrations and MCP servers. Expect to automate data tasks, link tools to external services, test and debug with more confidence, and leave with several working builds plus documentation ready for future development.

Building real tools with Claude Code
from first principles through to compound, connected tools that span multiple services

Automating data and file tasks
process and transform data without manual effort or developer support

Connecting to external services
use APIs to link your tools to email, Slack, spreadsheets and more

Building custom MCP servers
create connections the standard Connectors do not cover

Testing, debugging and handoff
make your tools reliable and document them so others can use them

About AI First Training

AI First Training is the UK's dedicated Claude training company. We teach one tool, and we teach it properly. Most AI training spreads thin across many tools and leaves teams dabbling. We go deep on Claude, because depth is what changes how people actually work. Our flagship is Claude in 3 Days: a three-day, hands-on intensive capped at ten people, run in person in London and live online. Day one covers Claude, prompting, and system prompts.Day two covers Memory, Projects and Skills. Day three is Cowork and a Build Day, where each delegate builds working tools of their own. We also run one-day courses built around specific roles, including Claude for Sales, Marketing, Design and small business owners, plus bespoke in-house training shaped around a team's own work. The approach comes from a long training background. Founder Mark Young spent more than a decade running one of the UK's leading creative and software training companies, delivering classroom training to large brands and in-house teams across the country. AI First Training brings that same classroom-led, hands-on method to Claude. The focus is always on the outcome your business needs, with the depth of a single tool underneath. Delegates leave able to use Claude in their day-to-day work.
