What you'll learn

This course shows you how to use Claude confidently, safely and effectively across everyday AEC work, from structured prompting in Chat to delegating whole pieces of work to Cowork.

You move from “I've tried it a bit” to confident, capable Claude use, with practical patterns you can repeat across your project week.

What can AEC teams do with Claude AI?

  • Stop wrestling with prompts and start getting output you can actually use on a project.
  • Catch inconsistencies across drawings, specifications and tender documents before they cost you.
  • Turn scattered standards, project files and client packs into searchable Projects Claude works from
  • Build reusable Skills and delegate whole pieces of work to Cowork, getting back finished reports
  • Know where to trust the output and where your professional judgement is non-negotiable

Who it's for

AEC professionals who want to get real value from Chat and Cowork across drawings, specifications, reports and tenders. No technical AI background needed.

Engineers and architects
You spend considerable time checking drawings against specifications, writing up reports and reviewing tender documents. This course shows you how Claude cuts the repetitive work while your professional judgement stays front and centre.
Project and design leads
You want your team using Claude consistently across bids, progress reports and design reviews. This course gives you the fluency to lead adoption and identify the highest-value use cases for your projects.
Practice and AI adoption leads
You're rolling out Claude across your practice and need a course that moves people from account holders to confident users, fast, without compromising on professional standards or liability.

Course structure

A single project  - dummy Q3/Q4 sales data  - runs through both modules. Module 2 builds the technical tool. Module 3 produces the work you'd actually send to people.

Module 1· 28 September, 12pm- 1pm
Setup, safety and first prompts

You arrive ready to work, not troubleshooting access. We confirm your Claude plan, check the desktop app, Chat and Cowork, and make sure everything runs from the first minute of the deep dive.

Module 2 · 5 October, 12pm - 2pm
Get fluent in Chat

You personalise Claude to be your desktop assistant, creating always used preferences and guardrails.

You assemble Projects from your own standards, project documentation and client packs so Claude works only with your sources, not the open web.

We build structured prompts that check drawings against specifications, cross-reference tender documents and produce project dashboards you can share.

You agree where Claude output should never reach a client or a contract without a human check and where information needs to be redacted before upload.

Module 3 · 12 October, 12pm - 2pm
Hand the work to Cowork

You create reusable Skills that capture your voice, practice standards and recurring tasks like progress reports, bid analysis and document QA.

You delegate multi-step work to Cowork so reporting, tracking and handoffs happen without the manual stitching.

We explore Claude connectors: enabling you to link Claude to your existing tech stack.

Module 4 · 19 October, 12pm - 1pm
Build your workflows

No new teaching. Bring a live problem from your own desk, a tender answer, a stalled design review or a client report due Friday, and build it out with Claude.  

Facilitator-led support and peer learning across construction, engineering, architecture and quantity surveying. Everyone leaves with a working output they can use the next day.

Agent Build
This course is where it starts, not where it ends. For those who are ready to go further, the AI Institute works directly with estate agency teams to build automations  - listing workflows, tenant screening pipelines, client communication sequences  - and hands them back through targeted training so your team can run and maintain them without depending on outside support.

"At the start of the first session, I was told I'd build a working dashboard before the two hours were up. I have zero coding skills. Mention the word "code" to me and I glaze over immediately. Not only did I build that dashboard within the session, two days later I sat down on my own and replicated the entire exercise from scratch - no instructor, no hand-holding. That's the measure of how these courses are designed. The content is genuinely practical, the delivery is clear and encouraging, and the results speak for themselves. Worth every penny — and I'll be back for more."

About the instructor

James Cussen
Claude Code + Cowork specialist

James has built a deep practical fluency with Claude's agentic capabilities - not in a lab, but solving real business problems. He specialises in helping non-technical professionals get the most out of Claude Code and Cowork: building tools, automating workflows, and producing outputs that would normally require a developer. He brings clarity to complex topics and a relentless focus on what's actually useful at work.

Frequently asked questions
Do I need a coding or technical background to take this course?

None at all. Our courses are specifically designed for working professionals, executives, and design teams who want practical AI skills, not a computer science lecture.

  • If you are taking a Copilot course, basic familiarity with standard Microsoft 365 apps (Word, Excel, Outlook) is all you need.
  • For Claude Code, Claude handles the actual coding while you direct it using plain English.
  • For visual or industry-specific paths like Nano Banana or Built Environment, we focus entirely on practical workflows, layout options, and project management—never complex programming.
Is my project and financial data secure, and can I use my own files?

Yes, absolutely. Security and confidentiality are our highest priorities, especially for our AEC and Finance cohorts:

  • Data Privacy: Microsoft Copilot and Claude enterprise plans respect your existing corporate IT permissions. The AI only sees data you are already authorized to access, and your inputs are never used to train public models.
  • Course Work: Live workshop sessions use anonymized dummy data so you can focus entirely on mastering techniques in a safe environment. You will then be given clear frameworks to confidently apply those exact same prompts to your live, proprietary project files between modules.
How is this training different from free courses or generic AI tutorials?

The market is flooded with generic "how to write prompts" videos. Our edge is entirely different:

  • Live, Expert Facilitation: You are learning in real-time alongside an executive-level peer group, guided by practitioners from companies actively deploying AI in the real world.
  • Always Up-to-Date: The second an AI model drops a new feature, we rebuild our exercises. You are getting a cutting-edge playground, not stale theory.
  • Workflow Integration: We don't just teach tools in a vacuum; we show you exactly how they talk to your existing ecosystem - whether that’s integrating Claude with Microsoft 365 or feeding Nano Banana concepts downstream into Revit, Rhino, and Photoshop.
