Your 8-week journey

Four courses. Eight weeks. One sisterhood.

Our curriculum is built on official, free video courses from Anthropic Academy — made by the company behind Claude. You'll complete four of them: three foundations everyone takes, plus one path you choose.

Week 8 — Graduation

🎓

You graduate with a real Anthropic certificate

Every course is official and free from Anthropic Academy. Finish all four and you'll hold a LinkedIn-ready credential — plus a community of sisters who get it.

After graduation

Ready to level up?

Your cohort is just the beginning. Anthropic Academy has eleven more free courses waiting — and you don't have to be a coder to benefit from most of them.

Anyone can try this
🤝

Connect Claude to everything

Model Context Protocol (MCP) lets Claude work with your apps, files, and tools. No coding needed to use pre-built connectors — just curiosity about what's possible.

Great for the curious
⚡

Let Claude write code for you

Claude Code can build scripts, automate tasks, and solve technical problems — even if you've never written a line of code. You direct; Claude does the coding.

For coders & career-changers
🛠️

Build real AI products

For graduates ready to go all-in: build Claude-powered apps and deploy them through AWS or Google Cloud. This one does require coding knowledge.

All of it is free on Anthropic Academy

SWAI graduates get a head start — you already understand how Claude thinks. The technical stuff is just the next layer.
