Before you sign up

Suits developers who already use Claude Code and want to run it with less supervision, using hooks, permission modes, headless runs and CI. What stands out is the short length, about one hour across five modules. The main caveat is that the Beginner label sits awkwardly with prerequisites that include access to Claude Code and prior hands-on experience with it, and the Coursera price is not shown. A free alternative is the course of the same name on Anthropic's Claude Academy, which ends with a completion badge.
