Half-day workshop and hackathon

Claude for Business

A morning of hands-on Claude training for business teams, run as a team challenge. You learn a new part of Claude at each stage, then use it straight away to build something real, and leave with work you can use on Monday and a room of people from other companies to compare notes with.

Who it's for

You use Claude at work, or you're about to, and you want to do more than ask it questions. No coding. Managers and people in operations, finance, marketing, HR and transformation roles all fit.

What you'll leave with

  • Claude projects and connectors set up, so Claude works with your context and your tools
  • Your own skill, built from a task you repeat every week
  • A way to use Claude as a thinking partner, from first idea to finished document or slides
  • A hackathon build you can demo to your team

SubjectRequest: Claude for Business training on Friday, 6 November 2026

Hi [name],

I'd like to attend Claude for Business, a half-day, hands-on Claude course run by Kowalah. It's on Friday, 6 November 2026, 9:00 to 12:00, in the City of London, near Liverpool Street.

The morning is run as a team challenge, so it's practical rather than theory. By the end I'll have:
- Claude projects and connectors set up for my own work, so Claude has the right context and tools
- My own skill, built from a task I repeat every week
- A way to use Claude as a thinking partner, from first idea to finished document or slides
- A working build I can demo to the team

I'll use what I build in my own work straight away, and share it with the team afterwards.

The cost is £495 + VAT (£594 in total), including lunch and a Claude account for the day. Kowalah issues a VAT invoice when I book and a certificate of attendance afterwards for our training records. If the date stops working, I can move to another date free of charge up to 7 days before.

Could this come out of our learning and development budget?

Thanks,
[your name]

Questions

Before you book.

Do I need my own Claude account?

No. We give every attendee a Claude account for the day in a shared Kowalah workspace, with projects set up for the hackathon. Before you leave, we show you how to take what you built with you.

What should I bring?

A laptop with a current web browser, and its charger. A personal laptop works best, because work laptops sometimes block new sign-ins. Bring two or three tasks you do every week: you'll build on them.

Can my employer pay?

Yes. Use the draft approval email above to ask your manager or L&D team. You get a VAT invoice when you book, with space for your company name and VAT number, so you can claim it back or pass it to finance. Booking three or more seats for a team? Contact us and we'll invoice the company.

Is this official Anthropic training?

No. Kowalah is a UK Anthropic implementation specialist: we help companies roll out Claude and get measurable value from it. This is our own course, built from the work we do with clients.

What if the date stops working for me?

Transfers to another date are free up to 7 days before. If we cancel, for example because too few people have booked, you get a full refund.

Where is it?

In the City of London, a short walk from Liverpool Street station. We confirm the venue on this page and email the address with your joining instructions a week before.

Training a whole team?

We'll run it for your company.

Private sessions at your offices, built around your own processes and data. Kowalah is a UK Anthropic implementation specialist.
