About
A free course site about using Claude in the job you already do. Dasow builds it, Dasow pays for it, and there is nothing here to buy.
Three things, said plainly, so you can decide in a minute whether the rest of the page is worth your time.
Who we are
A marketing and business systems studio in Costa Mesa, California.
There is no education department here. The people who write these courses are the people who run the client accounts, which is why the examples are jobs rather than exercises.
Our vision
Your trade should not decide how late you get the tool.
The plumber, the paralegal and the bookkeeper should be working with AI as well as the software company down the road, this quarter, without a budget for it and without sitting through a course about the future of work.
Our mission
One free course per line of work, at the level you are actually on.
Teach the workflow that job runs on, with prompts you can paste the same afternoon. Have a person check every stop. Finish with a certificate anyone can verify. Charge nobody, gate nothing, and sell nothing at the last stop.
The studio
Our day job is running ads, building sites and wiring up the software small companies actually use. We put Claude into that work first, on our own accounts and then on client work. These courses are what we learned doing it.
The teams we work with kept asking the same question. Not what an AI assistant is, but what it does for a plumber, a paralegal, a bookkeeper or a marketer on a Tuesday morning. A generic course cannot answer that. One course per line of work can.
There are 41 courses across 26 tracks, at four levels: Beginner, Intermediate, Hard and Seriously hard.
Every course is a handful of short stops. Each stop gives you a prompt to copy, a quick check and one thing to do in your own Claude before you move on. 336 of those stops have a video as well.
Pick the level that describes your week, not the one that sounds impressive. Every line of work climbs the same ladder.
You have never used Claude for work.
Your first wins in this job, the habits that keep you safe, one Project and one real file to show for it.
You use Claude most weeks.
The workflows this job actually runs on, end to end: files, Projects, connectors, routines and artifacts.
You already run part of the job on Claude.
Delegation with Cowork, scheduled routines and Dispatch, Claude in Chrome, Claude Code, and quality control you can measure.
You want to build with Claude, not just use it.
Your own skills, MCP connectors, agents and evaluation, Claude Code end to end, guardrails and a graded capstone.
No ghostwriter, no licensed curriculum, and no pretending a model did not help.
Every course is one line of work at one level. The examples follow a person doing that job, and the prompts are the ones we would actually send.
Claude helped Dasow draft and structure every course. It is the fastest way to write about the tool, and we would rather say so than hide it.
A human at Dasow reviewed every stop before it shipped. A menu path that does not exist and a prompt that does not work are the two things we will not publish.
Things move fast, so every course says when it was current and links to support.claude.com where a feature may change.
Found something out of date? The Feedback button on any page reaches us, and support.claude.com is the place a changed feature shows up first.
Dasow Academy is not affiliated with Anthropic, and Anthropic has not reviewed or endorsed it. Claude is a trademark of Anthropic, PBC. We teach a product we pay for like anybody else.
The certificate is ours, not an industry accreditation. It says you finished a Dasow Academy course and passed its quiz. It is not a licence, a qualification or a claim that you are certified by anyone else.
Nothing here is legal, medical, financial or engineering advice. The courses show you how to do your own work faster. The judgement stays yours, and so does the responsibility for what you send out with your name on it.
The catalogue is open, free and needs no account. If the course for your trade is not there yet, tell us and we will look at it.
