Question 1

What is a Claude Code workshop?

Accepted Answer

A Claude Code workshop is hands-on training in which your team applies Claude Code to its own codebase, rather than to a demo project. Claude Workshop is delivered by Harness Institute. It is independent training and not an official Anthropic programme.

Question 2

What will our team be able to do after the Claude Code training?

Accepted Answer

Plan changes with Claude Code before any code is written. Maintain a CLAUDE.md that keeps the whole team on shared rules. Apply subagents, hooks, skills and MCP where they add value. Review AI-written pull requests on evidence: tests, diffs and a clear summary. Leave with an adoption plan for the next sprint.

Question 3

How much does Claude Code training cost?

Accepted Answer

Workshops are priced at USD 1,000 per participant per day. Standard format: two days, ten to thirty participants. Minimum engagement: eight participants, or USD 8,000 per day. Example: twelve participants over two days is USD 24,000. The first month of Harness Pulse is included. Prices exclude VAT. Travel and venue are quoted separately. Full details are available on the pricing page.

Question 4

Is the training delivered on our own codebase?

Accepted Answer

Yes. All exercises take place in your repositories and with your approved tools, under NDA where required. Code and data remain within your environment.

Question 5

How long is the training and how many participants can attend?

Accepted Answer

Duration: two days as standard, one day for a narrower scope. Group size: ten to thirty participants, with a minimum of eight. Larger organisations are trained in multiple groups of up to thirty.

Question 6

Which delivery formats are available?

Accepted Answer

Onsite: at your offices, within your own environment. Offsite: at an external venue, away from day-to-day work. Remote: live sessions via Zoom for distributed teams. All formats are delivered by the same trainers with the same hands-on exercises.

Question 7

Is prior experience with Claude Code required?

Accepted Answer

No. Most organisations have licences and a few early adopters but no shared way of working. The programme establishes a common method across the team, regardless of starting level.

Question 8

Can product managers and designers participate?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Mixed groups are recommended. Product and design participants learn to specify work that Claude Code can execute and to assess the output; engineers learn to delegate and review.

Question 9

Is Claude Code the same as Claude.ai?

Accepted Answer

No. Claude.ai is the chat application. Claude Code is the coding agent that operates in your terminal, editor and repository. The workshop covers Claude Code. As product and design teams often use both, the programme clarifies where each applies.

Question 10

Does the programme cover CLAUDE.md, hooks and subagents?

Accepted Answer

Yes. These are the areas where most teams need support, so they are configured on your own repository: CLAUDE.md: the shared rules Claude Code reads in every session. Hooks: scripts that run before or after Claude Code acts, for example to block high-risk commands. Subagents and skills: reusable components for tasks such as review or test writing. Your team leaves with working configurations in place.

Question 11

Who delivers the training?

Accepted Answer

Every workshop is delivered by the two founders of Harness Institute: Rogier Muller, CTO at BlueMonks Group, who runs coding agents in production daily. Vasilis Tsolis, partner at Cognitiv+, who advises regulated organisations on AI adoption. Together they hold official ambassador roles for OpenAI, Anthropic, SpaceXAI (formerly Cursor), and n8n.

Question 12

Is the training suitable for regulated organisations?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Both founders have a background in regulated sectors, including financial services, compliance and legal. Delivery takes place under NDA, within your environment and with tools you have already approved. Approval responsibilities are documented, so your audit trail remains intact.

Question 13

What support is available after the workshop?

Accepted Answer

Rules and checklists are committed to your repository, so the way of working is retained after delivery. The first month of Harness Pulse is included: a shared Slack or Teams channel with both founders, a briefing every two weeks and a two-hour live session each month. Continuation is USD 1,500 per month.

Question 14

Is Claude Code training available for individual developers?

Accepted Answer

Yes, through the live cohort: four live sessions with a maximum of ten participants. Simple is USD 1,000 and Applied is USD 2,500. The cohort is delivered in Claude Code.

Question 15

Which AI coding tool should our team be trained on?

Accepted Answer

We recommend the tool your organisation already licenses. The method applies to every major tool. In addition to claudeworkshop.com, Harness Institute operates a dedicated workshop site per tool: cursorworkshop.com, codexworkshop.com, devinworkshop.com, gemini-workshop.com, githubworkshop.com.

Question 16

How do we arrange a workshop?

Accepted Answer

Schedule a 15-minute introductory call. We discuss your team, codebase and objectives, and follow up with proposed dates and a written proposal.

Train your team to build software with Claude Code.

Your team has AI tools. The work still gets stuck.

A few people move faster. The team does not.

Writing code is faster. Reviewing it takes longer.

The demo works. Your codebase is different.

The feature is built. The requirements are still unclear.

Your team is unsure what AI is allowed to do.

You pay for the tools. The return is hard to show.
