Claude Academy is Anthropic’s official, free online educational platform designed to help everyone from beginners to developers master AI collaboration, agentic workflows, and the Claude ecosystem. Featuring self-paced, video-guided courses with completion certificates, the platform covers everything from everyday prompting and workspace productivity to advanced API development, Claude Code, and Model Context Protocol (MCP) integrations.

As artificial intelligence moves rapidly from simple conversational chatbots into complex agents and autonomous workflows, understanding how to use these systems effectively is a critical skill. Anthropic created Claude Academy as an open-access training hub to bridge this knowledge gap, providing structured learning paths without requiring credit cards or paid subscriptions.
