The Claude Bootcamp
Three live sessions - from your first prompt to your first working tool.
Learn to use Claude the way people actually work with it. As a thinking partner. As a coworker that handles the repetitive work. And as a build partner that turns an idea into a working app. No technical background required.
Led by Valeriya Pilkevich, Founder of AI Made Simple, who has trained more than 10,000 professionals across Europe, the Middle East, and Asia.
Dates: November 3rd, 4th and 5th
Times: 11 am - 12:30 pm
Format: Online on Zoom
In partnership with:
WHAT YOU'LL WALK AWAY WITH
You build something in every session and keep it.
A personal context file that makes every future Claude output more relevant, in every tool you use it in
Your second brain Claude can actually operate inside, and your first CLAUDE.md
One repeatable workflow that runs on a schedule instead of on your memory
One small tool you built yourself, live
Full recordings and a resource guide for each session
“I liked that it was to the point. She explained the logic behind why something works and showed how to do it in a practical way we can implement immediately. Nothing was left as theory.”
-Participant, corporate Claude learning journey
WHO IS THIS FOR
Designed for professionals ready to move past experimenting.
Whether you are new to Claude, have only experimented with prompts, or seek to master advanced workflows, this bootcamp offers a practical roadmap for effective use.
New to Claude
You have opened Claude once or twice and it did not click. We start at the beginning and build step by step. Nothing is assumed.
Non-technical Professionals
You want AI doing real work: research, writing, reporting, admin. No code, no jargon, no prompt-engineering theory.
Already using Claude
You are past prompting and want structure. Repeatable workflows, automation that runs without you, and tools you build yourself.
WHAT'S INCLUDED
Three sessions - over consecutive days
Each 90-minute live session is hands-on and builds on the previous session. You will need a laptop, not a phone. You will be creating folders and files on your laptop.
Before you join: Sessions 2 and 3 use Cowork and Claude Code, which require a paid Claude plan (at least Pro). Upgrade before Session 2 so you can build along with us.
Session 1:
Claude Foundations
Tuesday 3rd November
11 am - 12:30 pm
Where Claude genuinely helps, and how to stop getting mediocre output from it.
You’ll learn:
The three Claudes: Chat, Cowork and Code, and how to tell which one a task needs
How to write a prompt that gets usable output the first time
Projects: give Claude your knowledge once instead of re-explaining yourself every session
Memory: teach Claude who you are
Skills: show Claude how you work so it does it for you
Connecting your tools safely
You'll leave with: your personal context file and your first Skill.
Session 2:
Claude Cowork
Wednesday 4th November
11 am - 12:30 pm
Stop asking Claude for advice. Start handing it the work.
You’ll learn:
What makes Cowork different and how the agent operates
Setting up your shared drive so Cowork has something real to work with
Giving your agent an identity with CLAUDE.md: step-by-step instructions
The Brief → Steer → Review → Capture loop that makes output reliable
Building a daily briefing, then scheduling it to run daily and deliver the output via Slack
What you should never let Cowork near, and how to set that boundary once
You'll leave with: a working folder structure and one workflow running on a schedule.
Session 3:
Claude Code
Thursday 5th November
11 am - 12:30 pm
Describe the tool you need. Watch it get built.
You’ll learn:
When a task crosses the line from 'help me do this' to 'build me something that does this'
Setting up your Vibe Coding Lab: a sandbox where failed attempts are the point
Plan mode: make Claude think before it builds, and review before you approve
Building something real with buttons and an interface: a tracker, a dashboard, an internal tool
What business teams actually ship with this: account briefs, policy Q&A tools, health dashboards, routing tools
The safety rules: what never goes in a prompt, and what always gets reviewed
You'll leave with: one working tool you built yourself, and a setup you can keep building in.
ABOUT YOUR TRAINER
Valeriya Pilkevich
Founder of AI Made Simple
Valeriya has trained more than 10,000 professionals across Europe, the Middle East, and Asia to use AI in their actual work. Not in theory, and not in a demo that falls apart on Monday morning.
Before AI, she spent her career in data: leading big data projects and marketing mix modelling at Kantar, working directly with CMOs at global brands including Allianz, Henkel and Siemens. Today she designs and delivers enterprise AI adoption programs for enterprises and speaks at conferences across Europe, the Middle East, and Asia.
Her approach is deliberately anti-hype. Every session ends with something you built and can keep using.
Forbes has recognised her work on practical AI implementation. She is a member of the German AI Association (KI-Bundesverband), holds an M.Sc. in Analytics, and hosts the AI Made Simple podcast.

No. Session 3 is built specifically for people who have never written a line of code. You describe what you want in plain English and Claude writes it.
Every session is recorded and sent to you within 24 hours, along with the resource guide. The sessions are hands-on, so live is where the value is, but you will not fall behind.
Yes, for Sessions 2 and 3. Cowork and Claude Code are not available on the free plan. You can subscribe to Claude Pro which starts at $17 / month.
Yes. The tool is Claude; the thinking is portable. The way you structure context, delegate work, and decide what to automate transfers to any assistant. For the Session 2 practice part you can use ChatGPT Work and for Session 3 ChatGPT Codex.
That is what the live format is for. Every session includes working time with support, and each resource guide includes the exact prompts so you can retrace any step afterwards.
