Beyond prompts and productivity tricks

Learn how experienced engineers approach AI implementation: when to use AI, when to use conventional software, how to control unpredictable outputs, how to validate results and how to build systems that remain reliable and secure.

What's included

A structured day of professional training, then a full day building one real project.

Day 1 · Professional Claude Training

A structured day covering Claude's core capabilities, advanced workflows, AI agents, OpenClaw and secure AI-assisted development.

Day 2 · Mentored Build Day

A full day to build one practical project from your own work, with experienced engineers available throughout the day.

Resources & Catering

Training materials, implementation templates, the Team 400 Claude toolkit, lunch, refreshments and assistance preparing your Claude account.

What we'll cover

Day 1 · Tuesday 18 AugustBuild practical Claude capability · 9am – 5pm · 50% hands-on

Learn how to use Claude confidently for serious work. The morning covers every Claude feature and digs into the important parts that not everybody teaches. The afternoon moves into AI agents, OpenClaw and secure AI-assisted development. You'll be hands-on throughout: you'll learn everything and get started building, with playbooks and exercises to grow your skills. The Build Day is where you take it further and build alongside others.

Morning · 9am – 12:30pm

Claude AI: Start to Finish

Every feature, end to end

A full tour of Claude for real business work. Every feature worth knowing, in the order you'll actually use them.

  • How AI actually works. No jargon, no hand-waving. Just enough to know what Claude's good at, what it isn't, and where it's worth your time.
  • Picking your Claude. Which plan and model fit which job, and how privacy works when you're using it for real work.
  • Prompts that hold up. Patterns and templates you'll lean on every day, so the output stops disappointing you on the third try.
  • Artifacts, Styles & Projects. Make things, iterate on them, sound like yourself doing it, and give Claude your own knowledge to work from.
  • Excel & PowerPoint in Claude. Let Claude do the slog through spreadsheets and slide decks while you do the thinking.
  • Skills, Connectors, MCP & your playbook. Plug Claude into Gmail, Drive, Slack and the rest of your day, then walk out with a playbook you'll keep using.
Afternoon · 1:30pm – 5pm

Advanced Claude AI & AI Agents

Where it gets interesting

Move beyond individual prompts and learn how to design AI workflows, agents and applications that can perform useful work without becoming unreliable or unsafe.

  • CoWork, the next level. Claude as an actual collaborator on the long, messy stuff. Not just one-shot prompts.
  • What AI agents actually are. Past the hype: what they do, how independent they get, and where they earn their keep in your business.
  • Designing your agent & AI coworker. We'll take a real use case from your work and design one together: scope, tools, guardrails, the lot.
  • AI agents in Claude. Skills, Projects, Connectors and MCP, used the way agents actually use them. Live, on the screen.
  • Meet OpenClaw. What it is, where it sits in the agent stack, and when you'd actually reach for it.
  • Vibe Coding. Building working software by chatting with Claude. No CS degree required.
  • Reliable AI systems. Understand the difference between deterministic software and non-deterministic AI: where AI should be given freedom, where it needs constraints, and how validation, structured outputs, fallbacks and human approval make systems dependable.
  • Secure AI-assisted development. Build software with Claude without blindly accepting generated code. We cover architecture, authentication, data handling, testing, permissions and the common security mistakes made during vibe coding.
  • From demo to production. Understand why an impressive prototype is not automatically a reliable business system, and what must be added before people can depend on it.
Day 2 · Wednesday 19 AugustThe build day · 9am – 5pm · 100% hands-on
Build Day · 100% hands-on

Choose a real project. Build it with expert help.

A mentor on your shoulder the whole day

Pick one project that matters to your work and build it, with experienced AI engineers in the room to guide you. Three tracks to choose from:

AI Employee or Workflow

Build an agent or AI coworker around a repetitive task from your role or business.

Website or Internal Tool

Use Claude to build and deploy a website, application or practical internal tool.

Marketing System

Build a repeatable campaign workflow covering research, positioning, content and production.

You'll select one primary project for the day. The scope of the finished result will depend on its complexity and your starting point.

Why two days?

Pick the day that fits where you're starting from. You don't have to do both.

Day 1: Training

Everything Claude can do, the whole lot, then straight into building with it. You'll walk away with a whole suite of playbooks and exercises to keep building with.

Day 2: Build Day

Already comfortable with Claude? Skip the learning and just build. We set up your toolkit and infrastructure, playbooks ready, mentors on hand, and a room full of people building.

Both Days

Do both. Learn it all, then build it for real with help in the room. The best value.

Frequently Asked Questions

Three options. Both Days ($2,500 + GST) is the full experience: the training day plus the build day. Day 1: Training ($1,500 + GST) is the one-day workshop on its own, both sessions from 9am to 5pm. Day 2: Build Day ($1,500 + GST) is the hands-on build day on its own. Every ticket includes tea, coffee and snacks through the day, lunch, the training materials and the Team 400 Claude toolkit, and a hand getting your Claude account ready before you arrive. Pick your option in the ticket section above.

Day 1 builds practical capability across Claude's most valuable features, roughly half teaching and half hands-on exercises. Morning covers Claude's essential features and workflows (prompts, Skills, Projects, MCP, the lot); the afternoon moves into AI agents, OpenClaw, reliable AI systems and secure AI-assisted development. Day 2 is 100% hands-on: choose one real project, whether an AI employee or workflow, a website or internal tool, or a marketing system, and build it with experienced engineers in the room. Day 1 develops the skills, Day 2 turns them into a working project. Most people do both.

You get plenty of hands-on time on Day 1. You'll learn everything to get fully skilled up across the whole AI ecosystem, and you'll get started building too, with playbooks and exercises that grow your skills as you go. Day 2 is where you take it further: a full day of building alongside other people, with mentors on hand and all the playbooks and support you need to build real things together. If you already know the content well and feel comfortable with Claude, CoWork and agents, you're welcome to come to just the Build Day.

On Day 1, the OpenClaw content is introductory: what it is and where it fits, rather than an extensive OpenClaw class. You'll still get plenty of hands-on Vibe Coding. Day 2, the Build Day, is where you go deep and build a real project, with experienced engineers in the room.

Yes. Buy Day 1 on its own, Day 2 on its own, or Both Days together and save. If you're new to Claude, Day 1 first makes the most sense. If you've already got the basics and just want build time with experts, Day 2 stands on its own.

Payment is by card through Stripe only; that's the single way to book. As soon as you pay, Stripe emails you a tax invoice. Tickets are transferable: you can reassign a seat to someone else in your team at no charge.

Please book rather than email to hold a place. Seats sell out, and the only way to lock one in is to purchase a ticket. If you've got a genuine question first, we're at [email protected], but a spot isn't held until it's paid.

A central Adelaide CBD venue, an easy walk from the major train stations. We'll email you the exact address the week before, once we've locked in final numbers.

A laptop and a Claude account (a paid one is ideal). We'll send a short checklist before the day and help you get your account sorted, so you're ready to go when we start.

Nope. This is built for business professionals, not developers. We start with how AI actually works and walk you all the way through to Skills, MCP, agents and, on the build day, making something real. No prior AI experience needed. If you've used ChatGPT once, you're more than ready.

Stick it out through the day. If by the end you reckon it didn't deliver on what's promised here, tell us before you leave and we'll refund your seat in full. No forms, no awkward chat.
