Overview
- Anthropic launched a developer-focused Specialization called Building with the Claude API and a broad-learning track titled Real-World AI for Everyone on Coursera.
- The developer program, built in-house by Anthropic and taught by Stephen Grider, covers prompt engineering, Model Context Protocol, retrieval-augmented generation, Claude Code and computer use, and agentic workflows.
- Real-World AI for Everyone is a three-course Specialization created with Advancing Women in Technology, guided by Nancy Wang and Dan Mellott, and centers on practical prompting, collaboration, and automation with Claude.
- Anthropic’s head of education, Maggie Vo, said the offerings aim to help people work with AI safely and effectively by building confidence from first prompts to agent-building.
- Coursera frames the launch as a workforce upskilling effort, noting over 1,100 AI-themed courses on the platform and that only about one-third of workers report receiving AI training.
