Put Claude to work — not just to use
Stop treating Claude like a search bar. This level teaches solo professionals exactly how to build organized Projects, craft prompts that land on the first try, and ship real deliverables — from social content to client-ready one-pagers — using a repeatable system you'll use every week.
My whole goal is that by the time you finish this course, Claude feels less like something you use occasionally and more like the most reliable person on your team.— LBD Academy

From One-Off Chats to Organized Work
Learners discover why unstructured, one-off chats limit results and learn how Claude Projects solve that problem. By the end of this module, they can create and configure a Project with custom instructions and reference files tailored to a real, recurring business need — laying the foundation for everything that follows.
- 1.1Why One-Off Chats Have a CeilingIncluded
- 1.2Setting Up Your First ProjectIncluded
- 1.3Custom Instructions That Actually WorkIncluded
- 1.4Managing and Maintaining Projects Over TimeIncluded
Prompt Refinement Techniques
Moves learners from vague, hopeful prompting to deliberate, structured prompting. They learn the core levers that control output quality — specificity, format, audience, tone, and examples — and practice iterating on responses rather than abandoning them. By the end, learners can reliably get a high-quality first draft without starting from scratch.
- 2.1The Four Levers of a Better PromptIncluded
- 2.2Giving Claude an Example to FollowIncluded
- 2.3Iterating Instead of Starting OverIncluded
- 2.4Follow-Up Prompts for Tone, Depth, and Audience FitIncluded
Working with Artifacts
Introduces Claude Artifacts as a distinct, reusable output format. Learners learn when Artifacts appear automatically, how to request them deliberately, and how to edit, iterate, and organize them within a Project. The module culminates in learners building a small Artifact library for a real, ongoing business use case.
- 3.1What Artifacts Are and When They AppearIncluded
- 3.2Editing, Iterating, and Polishing ArtifactsIncluded
- 3.3Building a Reusable Artifact Library in Your ProjectIncluded
Connecting and Using the Canva Integration
Walks learners through connecting the Canva integration inside Claude and using it strategically — not just to generate pretty graphics, but to produce design-ready, structured content that flows into Canva efficiently. Learners develop repeatable design workflows for their most common content types.
- 4.1Connecting Canva and Understanding What the Integration DoesIncluded
- 4.2Directing Claude to Produce Design-Ready ContentIncluded
- 4.3Social Content Batches and Repeatable Design WorkflowsIncluded
Putting It Together: A Real Workflow
The capstone module. Learners plan and execute a complete, end-to-end business workflow using everything from the course — a configured Project, refined prompts, iterated Artifacts, and Canva-ready design content. The goal is shipping one real, finished deliverable by the end of this module.
- 5.1Choosing Your Deliverable and Planning the WorkflowIncluded
- 5.2Executing the Workflow End-to-EndIncluded
- 5.3Reviewing, Refining, and Shipping Your DeliverableIncluded
Troubleshooting and Leveling Up
Equips learners to self-diagnose when Claude isn't working well for them and build habits that sustain quality over time. Covers the most common intermediate-level failure modes, gives clear decision frameworks for Project hygiene, and helps learners chart a path toward more advanced use.
- 6.1The Three Mistakes That Hold Intermediate Users BackIncluded
- 6.2When to Start a New Project vs. Continue an Existing OneIncluded
- 6.3Your 30-Day Action Plan and Next-Level PreviewIncluded

If you're here, I'm guessing you've had a taste of what Claude can do — and you can feel that you're only scratching the surface.
Maybe you've gotten some genuinely great outputs, but you can't always reproduce them. You start a new chat every time, re-explain your context, and get results that are good but inconsistent. Or you've heard about Projects and Artifacts but haven't quite figured out how they fit together into something you'd actually use every day. That gap between "I use Claude sometimes" and "Claude is woven into how I work" — that's exactly what this course is designed to close.
I built Claude Level 2 specifically for the solo professional who doesn't have a tech team, doesn't want to learn to code, and doesn't have hours to experiment. You need to know what works, why it works, and how to set it up once so it runs reliably every time you sit down to work. That's the standard I hold every lesson to. No fluff, no theory for theory's sake — just the features, techniques, and workflows that will genuinely change how you use this tool.
Here's what I want you to know about how this course is built: we move through the curriculum in the order your work actually unfolds. We start by getting your Projects set up properly — with real custom instructions and reference files that mean Claude already knows your context before you type a single word. Then we sharpen your prompting so you're pulling on the right levers (format, audience, tone, example) and getting professional output on the first try more often than not. From there we get into Artifacts, the Canva integration, and finally a complete end-to-end workflow where you build something real.
The last module might be my favourite, because it's where we talk honestly about the mistakes that quietly keep good users stuck — vague prompts, endless sprawling threads, not knowing when to start fresh — and I give you a clear 30-day plan so you don't finish the course and then drift back to old habits.
If you're ready to stop treating Claude like a search bar and start using it like the business tool it actually is, I'd love to walk you through it. Let's get to work.
