Anthropic releases free educational curriculum including Claude Code and MCP Mastery courses

Anthropic has released its complete educational curriculum for free access. The curriculum includes multiple structured courses covering their AI tools and technologies.
Course offerings
The free curriculum includes four main components:
- Claude Code courses
- MCP Mastery courses
- API courses
- AI Fluency courses
According to the source, the MCP Mastery and Claude Code courses are particularly noteworthy on their own. The curriculum is described as a "proper university-level program" that provides structured learning compared to the "random tutorials on YouTube" approach many developers use.
Access and context
The curriculum is available at https://anthropic.skilljar.com/. The source notes that this represents a different approach from competitors, with Anthropic giving content away openly while others maintain premium content behind walls. One user mentioned previously spending "hours tinkering with Claude Code through the terminal, trial and error" and wishing this structured resource had been available earlier.
The curriculum provides what the source describes as "a cleaner starting point" for those who haven't tried these tools yet.
