Claude Proficiency Lab

Most people judge their AI skill by whether a single prompt produces a good answer. Claude Proficiency Lab replaces that guesswork with a repeatable professional workflow you can use for real work.

In 15 short, focused video lessons, Dr. Emmanuel P. Bazile teaches the **six-stage proficiency loop** choose, brief, develop, review, verify, reuse — a disciplined method for producing trustworthy, review-ready output.

**What you'll learn**

- Choose the right tasks for Claude (and recognize the wrong ones)

- Write briefs that remove guessing, and control format, tone, and boundaries

- Develop work in stages, and correct Claude without starting over

- Use examples and counterexamples, and expose hidden assumptions

- Work with documents, build source-traceable research, and weigh options

- Turn your best results into reusable templates, Projects, and a personal system

**What's included**

- 15 narrated Full HD video lessons (watch online, ~34 minutes total)

- Learner Workbook with an activity for every lesson

- 9 reusable, professional prompt templates

- Quick-Reference guide and a 30-Day Action Plan

- Certificate of Completion

- Full text transcripts for accessibility

**Who it's for**

Anyone who already uses Claude and wants to work more clearly, efficiently, and responsibly — students, professionals, and researchers.

**Format**

Self-paced online course with lifetime access to the videos and downloadable resources.
