Most people who try Claude get a few useful answers, then stop. The tool isn't the problem. The gap is knowing how to ask well, how to set Claude up for the way you work, and where it fits into the tasks you already do every day.

That's why JBI Training has launched three new Claude training courses. Each one is instructor-led, hands-on and built around real work: summarising documents, cleaning data, drafting emails, building reports and preparing presentations. All three run live online, at our London training centre, or on-site at your organisation.

Claude Essentials: your first day

1 day | Beginner | No AI experience needed

Claude Essentials is a practical start for complete beginners. You will set Claude up properly, learn what makes a good request (state the task, the audience and the format), and review your privacy settings, including how to use an incognito chat.

Then you put it to work on real tasks: summarise a document, reply to an email, create an Excel formula, build a presentation. The free Claude plan covers nearly all of the course.

Make Claude yours: Skills, Memory and Projects

2 days | Improver | Paid Claude plan (Pro or above)

Stop repeating yourself. On Day 1 you set your preferences once, so every chat starts knowing how you like things done. You will use a writing-style analysis to make Claude write more like you, turn on memory, and learn when to use a skill, a Project or an artifact. Then you build a skill of your own, so Claude follows your format every time.

Day 2 is a Projects workshop. You work through ready-made Projects, each with its own instructions and class files. Turn one spreadsheet into a dashboard, a Word report and a PowerPoint deck. Triage emails. Turn a meeting transcript into summaries and Planner tasks. Compare documents. You leave with 12 Projects to reuse at work.

Work faster in Office: Claude in Microsoft Office

2 days | Comfortable in Office | Any paid Claude plan

Claude can now work inside Excel, Word and PowerPoint, on the file you have open. Day 1 is Excel: clean messy data, ask questions in plain English and get insights, charts and PivotTables, and have formulas written, explained or fixed.

Day 2 moves to Word and PowerPoint. Go from blank page to first draft, rewrite for any audience, and add tables of contents, FAQs and glossaries. Then turn a document or web search into a presentation with an agenda, a summary and speaker notes, and make your slides more accessible.

The Office add-ins are not available on the free plan, so you will need a paid plan.

Which course is right for you?

• New to Claude? Start with Claude Essentials.
• Already using Claude or Copilot Chat, and want consistent results? Choose Skills, Memory and Projects.
• Spend your day in Excel, Word and PowerPoint? Choose Claude in Microsoft Office.

Many learners take them in that order. Each course can also be booked on its own, as long as you meet the level.

Built for teams

Every course is short, practical and instructor-led, with real tasks instead of slides. Privacy settings are covered from the start, so teams know how their data is handled before they use Claude on real work. We can tailor any course to your tools, documents and processes, and run it on-site for your team.
