Vanderbilt University ยท on Coursera
Claude Code: Software Engineering with Generative AI Agents is a paid beginner course from Vanderbilt University, online. It's paid; the price is not recorded yet.
It takes about 5 hours and ends with a certificate.
Suits software engineers and tech leads who want to hand larger pieces of work to Claude Code and keep quality under control. What stands out is the focus on parallel work, with several git branches and subagents at once. The main caveat is cost on two fronts: it needs a paid subscription that includes Claude Code as well as Coursera's paid Certificate experience, and no price is shown. A free alternative is Claude Code 101 from Anthropic.
Vanderbilt University course on Coursera, taught by Jules White, on using Claude Code as a development team: big prompts, generating several versions of a feature to compare, CLAUDE.md files, command libraries, parallel work across git branches with subagents, and quality checks on AI-written code. Six modules and two assignments, with a shareable certificate.
