Anthropic's first AI classes with Coursera are here (www.businessinsider.com)

Anthropic and Coursera launched two new AI courses aimed at accelerating workplace AI literacy: a developer-focused specialization, "Building with the Claude API Specialization" (built in‑house and taught by Anthropic engineer Stephen Grider), and a broader course series, "Real-World AI for Everyone," produced with Advancing Women in Technology and taught by Nancy Wang and former Anthropic manager Dan Mellott. The developer track covers hands-on topics such as test automation, code editing, metadata management and practical use of the Claude API, while the generalist series (three light-weight courses with 3–4 modules each) teaches everyday Claude workflows—email editing, recipe generation, interview simulation—and progresses toward building agents. Anthropic emphasized safe, effective usage throughout; the company and Coursera spent two months refining material before launch. The release matters because employers increasingly expect AI fluency: Coursera CEO Greg Hart argues every job is being impacted by generative AI, and demand backs that up—AI-course enrollments have surged to 14 people per minute (up from 8/min in 2024 and 1/min in 2023), and Coursera now hosts over 1,100 AI-themed courses. For practitioners, the specialization offers concrete API-level skills for integrating Claude into development workflows; for professionals, the generalist path lowers the barrier to productive, safe collaboration with AI. The partnership also underscores Coursera’s growing role as a distribution channel for major model providers (Anthropic, Google Gemini, OpenAI), shaping how AI skills are standardized in the workforce.
