A live, hands-on programme for people who don't write code. Half of every class is taught. Half is real work, on your own files, with a mentor in the room.
Awarded for what you build, not for showing up. A graded capstone, assessed by a person, against real work from your own job.
The official Claude courses are free. Finishing one doesn't change how you work. The gap was never information. It's practice, on your own work, with someone watching.
So we built the four weeks that close it.
A repeatable loop, applied to your real work every single week.
We teach the part of the Anthropic curriculum that earns its place this week — no filler, no theory for theory's sake.
You apply it live to a task from your own job, with a mentor watching, correcting, and pushing the work further.
A 6-dimension rubric scores the work, not the attendance. One free resubmission. Human sign-off required.
Built from the official Anthropic courses — not all of them, just the parts that earn their place.
You learn the three-part prompt method Claude 101 teaches — set the stage, define the task, specify the rules — and use it on a task from your own work, today.
You learn the full 4D framework — Delegation, Description, Discernment, Diligence — and build a reusable, fact-checked template you trust.
You learn the Cowork task loop and how to build a reusable instruction set, then run a real, multi-step job on your own files.
You ship one real project end to end. It's assessed against the NBL Level 1 rubric, by a person, not a checklist.
No passive watching. The clock is structured around your output.
Quick check-in. Wins from last week's homework. One real blocker someone hit.
45 minutes of structured instruction on this week's slice of the Anthropic curriculum.
45 minutes applying it live to a real task from your own work. Mentor in the room.
Two or three learners show what they built. Group critiques against the rubric language.
Homework brief: the matched Academy module and one prep step for next week's build.
The official certificates show you finished a course. The NBL credential shows you can do the work.

Assessed capstone — graded against a 6-dimension rubric. Distinction at 21/24.
The credential is only worth what this rubric makes it worth. So we publish it.
Sound choices about what to hand to Claude and what to keep human.
Structured prompts, iterated to a better result.
Caught errors, verified facts, compared alternatives.
Handles data, transparency and ownership of the final output.
The finished artifact actually solves a real problem.
A reusable Project, template or workflow — not a one-off.
Runs the teach blocks and the live builds. Trained on the full Anthropic Academy stack — Claude 101, AI Fluency, Cowork — and brings real workflows from operating roles.
Owns the NBL Level 1 rubric and the resubmission loop. Every credential decision is signed off by a human assessor — never by a model alone.
Private pods of 8–15. Custom briefs drawn from your real workflows. Same teach-build-assess loop, scoped to your function — HR, finance, sales, ops, or a mixed-discipline pod.
Applied fluency for non-coders.
Vertical, applied projects in your field.
For Anthropic's engineering exam. A separate path.
No. Claude Lab is the non-coder track. If you can use a browser and a document, you can do this. The Coder track (Claude Certified Architect prep) is a separate path.
Roughly 45–90 minutes of free Anthropic Academy content between classes, plus your own build work. The capstone in week 4 is the heaviest week.
No. Claude Lab is an independent programme by Next Billion Lab. It prepares learners using freely available Anthropic Academy courses. Claude is a trademark of Anthropic.
You get specific feedback against the dimensions you fell short on, and one free resubmission. The standard doesn't move, but the door stays open.
Yes. Private pods of 8–15 from a single team, with custom briefs. Talk to us for a quote — typically lower per-seat than individual cohort pricing.
A Claude account (free tier is fine for most of the work; some weeks benefit from a paid plan). A browser, a document, and the real files from your job.
Apply free. Pay only once you're confirmed for a seat.
