On-site 3-hour workshop · UK-wide
Claude AI training delivered on-site at your offices
A practical, jargon-free 3-hour workshop where your team uses Claude on their own emails, reports and spreadsheets - and leaves with a prompt playbook they will still use next month. Run at a time that suits you, fully tailored to your team's requirements.
Outcomes
What your team can do by the end of the session
Write prompts that work first time
A simple four-part structure - Task, Context, Format, Constraints - that replaces trial and error.
Cut hours off email and documents
Draft, rewrite and summarise in your company's tone, and turn rough notes into clear action lists.
Use Claude alongside Excel
Explain formulas in plain English, clean messy data and review spreadsheets for errors.
Build a reusable team assistant
Projects and custom instructions set up once, so every answer matches how your team works.
Know what is safe to share
A traffic-light rule for company and customer data, plus a usage policy you can adopt the same week.
Leave with a personal playbook
Everyone walks out with 15–20 saved prompts built around their own role, not a generic handout.
What we cover
Nine hands-on modules in a focused 3-hour workshop
Every module ends with your team actually doing the task - using their own emails, documents and spreadsheets, with a trainer in the room.

Module 1 - How Claude Actually Works (Without the Jargon)
Goal: Build the right mental model in 30 minutes, so nothing later feels like “magic” or “risk.”
- What Claude is (and isn't) - a writing/thinking assistant, not a search engine or a database of your company
- Why Claude sometimes gets things wrong (“hallucinations”) and how to spot it
- The one habit that prevents 90% of AI mistakes
- Hands-on: everyone logs in, sends their first message, tests Claude on something from their own job
Module 2 - The Prompting Framework: Getting Useful Answers, Every Time
Goal: Replace “trial and error” with a repeatable structure anyone can follow.
- The 4-part prompt structure: Task, Context, Format, Constraints
- Before/after: a vague prompt vs. a well-built one, using a real example from your industry
- Giving Claude examples of what “good” looks like
- Follow-up prompting - treating it like a conversation, not a search box
- Hands-on: each participant rewrites 3 of their own weak prompts and compares results
Module 3 - Claude for Everyday Work: Email, Documents & Meeting Notes
Goal: The tasks every single employee does every single day, made faster.
- Drafting and rewriting emails in your company's tone
- Summarising a long email thread or document into 3 bullet points
- Turning rough meeting notes into a clear action list with owners and deadlines
- Proofreading and tightening writing without losing your voice
- Hands-on: participants bring a real email/document/notes file and process it live
Module 4 - Claude Inside Excel: Your Bridge From Formulas to AI
Goal: For teams already using Excel daily, this is the highest-value module in the room.
- Using Claude to explain what a formula does in plain English
- Cleaning messy data (inconsistent dates, duplicates, blank cells) with natural-language instructions
- Asking Claude to build a formula or summary table from a plain description
- Spotting errors in a spreadsheet by asking Claude to review it
- Hands-on: participants bring a real (anonymised) spreadsheet and clean/analyse it live
Module 5 - Build Your Team Assistant (Projects & Custom Instructions)
Goal: Move from “one-off questions” to a reusable assistant set up for your team's actual work.
- What a “Project” is and why it remembers your context
- Setting custom instructions once, so every answer matches your company's tone and format
- Building one shared Project template your whole team can copy
- Hands-on: each participant builds one working Project tailored to their own role
Module 6 - Claude for Analysis & Decisions: Reports, Comparisons, Summaries
Goal: Using Claude as a thinking partner for decisions, not just a writing tool.
- Summarising a long report or policy document into an executive brief
- Comparing two documents and getting a clear pros/cons table
- Asking Claude to challenge a plan and find gaps or risks before you present it
- Where to stop trusting Claude and bring in a human expert
- Hands-on: participants run a real comparison or summary task from their own workload
Module 7 - Working Smarter: Speed, Cost & Efficient Prompting
Goal: The module that pays for the course. Most teams waste time and budget through inefficient use.
- Why vague, back-and-forth prompting costs more time and usage than a well-built prompt
- Reusing prompts instead of rewriting from scratch every time (the Playbook habit)
- Batching similar tasks together
- Choosing the right tool for the task - using Claude where it saves time, skipping it where it doesn't
- Hands-on: a “before and after” time trial - the same task done the slow way and the smart way, timed
Module 8 - Using AI Safely: Data, Privacy & Company Policy
Goal: Confidence, not fear - a clear, simple rule set your team will actually remember.
- The “traffic light” rule: what's safe to paste in, what needs anonymising, what should never go in
- Customer data, personal data and confidential business information - practical do's and don'ts
- How chat history and data retention work, explained simply
- A short, customisable “AI Usage Guidelines” handout your company can adopt immediately
- Hands-on: group exercise sorting 10 real tasks into “safe,” “anonymise first,” and “don't”
Module 9 - Build Your Personal Prompt Playbook
Goal: Make sure Monday morning isn't the day everyone forgets the training happened.
- Each participant compiles their best 15–20 prompts from the session into one reusable document
- Everyone leaves with a personalised, role-specific reference - not a generic handout
- Team leads get a combined “team playbook” merging everyone's best prompts
Fully tailored to you
Your Tailored Deep-Dive
Built entirely around your team, after we understand what you need. This is not a fixed module picked from a list. Once we know your team's role, tools and day-to-day work, the second half of the session is built specifically around it - real workflows, real examples, and real exercises using your own material.
Workflows specific to your role
The actual reports, documents, communications or analysis your team produces every week, rebuilt live using Claude.
Reusable automations
A Project or Skill built together in the room, so your team's exact format, tone and process is captured once and reused from then on.
Connectors relevant to your tools
How Claude can work alongside the systems your team already uses (spreadsheets, shared drives, messaging tools and more), demonstrated live so your team sees exactly how it fits before deciding to connect anything themselves.
Judgement calls specific to your work
Where Claude genuinely helps, and where a human decision must always stay a human decision.
Hands-on practice throughout
Every exercise uses your team's own (anonymised) documents, data or examples, not generic samples.

The content is tailored to your requirements, so every example comes from the work your team actually does.

What people say
Rated 5.0 on Google by UK learners and teams

FAQ
Questions teams ask before booking
Do I need any technical background?
No. The course is written for non-technical business teams. If someone can use email and Excel, they can complete every exercise in the room. No coding, no APIs, no jargon.
Is this different from just watching YouTube tutorials?
Yes. This is a hands-on workshop using your team's own emails, reports and spreadsheets. Every session ends with participants having actually done the task, with a trainer in the room to correct them - and everyone leaves with a saved prompt library built around their own role.
How is this different from ChatGPT training?
The workshop is built specifically around Claude - Projects, custom instructions, document handling and Claude's behaviour with spreadsheets. The prompting framework transfers to any AI tool, but the hands-on work is done in Claude.
Can this be customised for our team or industry?
Always. A short 5-minute survey is sent to your team beforehand, so the day's examples use your industry, your document types and your real workflows - not generic demos.
Is my company's data safe during training?
Module 8 covers exactly this: a simple traffic-light rule for what is safe to paste in, what needs anonymising and what should never go in. Exercises use anonymised documents, and you leave with a customisable AI usage policy handout.
Can I book this for just myself?
No - the minimum group size is 3, so this is a team or company booking rather than an individual course. If you are an individual learner, get in touch and we can point you to other training options.
