All three are free, all three come straight from Anthropic (the company that makes Claude) and you can finish them this week. Here are the links, what each one teaches and the exact LinkedIn setup.
Jobs that need AI skills pay more. PwC’s 2026 AI Jobs Barometer found an average 62% wage premium for jobs requiring AI skills, up from 57% the year before, after looking at more than a billion job ads.
A few hours on these courses gives you something real to show on LinkedIn and talk about in interviews.
01
Claude 101
Start here, even if you’ve used ChatGPT for years. 14 short lessons on what Claude is, how to get better results, Projects, Artifacts, Skills, connecting your tools like email and docs, and using Research for deep dives. Ends with a certificate of completion.
02
AI Fluency: Framework & Foundations
The "how to think" course, and the strongest one for your resume. It teaches Anthropic’s 4D Framework. Delegation is deciding what to hand to AI. Description is how you ask. Discernment is judging the output, and Diligence is using it responsibly. About 13 lessons, then a final assessment and a certificate of completion.
03
Introduction to Claude Cowork
The hands-on one. Cowork is where Claude does real work on your files and apps. 14 lessons cover setup, Projects, Skills, Plugins, Claude in Chrome, Claude for Microsoft 365 and working safely, then a quiz. Heads up: Anthropic is merging Cowork into the regular Claude app ("Cowork is now just Claude"), and the course says everything you learn still works.
Take them in the order above. Want more? Anthropic has a full list of free courses, including Claude Code 101 if you want to build.
When you finish a course, save the certificate link. That’s what makes it verifiable instead of just a line you typed.
If a course doesn’t give you a certificate, add it under Courses instead (it’s under Add profile section, then Additional). LinkedIn lists certifications newest first. (LinkedIn’s help page)
A certificate gets you noticed. Being able to talk about it for 60 seconds gets you hired. Pick the angle that fits the role:
01
The framework
"I just finished Anthropic’s AI Fluency course. The part that stuck with me is Discernment: knowing when not to trust an AI answer. That’s changed how I check work in [your field]."
02
The workflow
"After the Cowork course, I set up a Project for [a task you repeat] with its own instructions and files. It cut that work roughly in half. I’d love to bring that here."
03
The mindset
"AI moves fast, so I treat it like a real skill. I took three Anthropic courses to make sure I’m the person on the team who actually understands these tools."
The Real Move
Have one specific example ready, even a small one, like "I have a Project that drafts my Monday report." The certificate proves you learned it. The example proves you use it.
