Claude Code 101 is a free course from Anthropic, online. It takes about 1.5 hours and ends with a free badge. We rate it beginner level; the provider doesn't say.
Suits developers, new or experienced, who have not yet worked with a coding agent and want a structured start with Claude Code. It is free, Anthropic lists it at 1.5 hours, and passing the quiz earns a completion badge. The main caveat is that following along needs a paid Claude plan (Pro, Max, Team or Enterprise) or an API key. A free next step is Introduction to agent skills, also from Anthropic.
Free Claude Academy course from Anthropic on Claude Code, its agentic coding tool. Covers how the agent loop, context window, tools and permissions work, setup in the terminal, IDEs, desktop and web, the explore, plan, code and commit workflow, CLAUDE.md files, subagents, MCP servers and hooks.
