  • AlokDirector Product Manager, Aderant

    Hamza's Claude Code in Practice is one of the most useful Claude Code courses out there. He doesn't rehash the docs. The focus is on the workflow patterns that actually move the needle - CLAUDE.md design, hooks, MCP servers, locking down permissions, breaking work into subagents, and knowing when to step in vs. let the agent run. Every session is built around real problems he's solved. If you're a developer or PM and want to learn about getting more out of Claude Code, take this course. You'll leave with a setup you'll actually use.

  • YousufPrincipal AI Engineer, TEG

    Hamza starts from scratch and builds your mental model properly before asking you to use anything. By the time you're running sub-agents, you understand why the architecture works — you're not just copy-pasting commands. What makes this different is it doesn't stop at concepts. You learn skills, slash commands, and orchestration — but you also see what they actually enable. You come unfamiliar with Claude Code. and leave with Sprint Zero — a cloneable kit that takes any company URL and, through a chain of sub-agents, produces a full product spec and working codebase in one command.

  • MostafaSenior Data Engineer, Ejada Systems

    A hands-on, applied course that made using Claude Code feel easy and effective. We worked through real examples, explored several recent AI technologies for building powerful applications, and dove into evaluation — a standout section with rich, practical insights most courses skip. Beyond the content, Hamza and his team were generous with their knowledge and genuinely invested in their students' learning. Highly recommend it to anyone looking to get hands-on with Claude Code and modern AI development.

  • MurtazaSr. Director Product Management, SolarWinds

    Highly recommended! The course is exceptionally well-structured and easy to navigate. The standout feature for me was using Claude Code—it's powerful, intuitive, and worked seamlessly in the background. Applying it to simplify a complex repository structure during an assignment really highlighted the real-world utility of this course. A fantastic investment for practical learning.

    Well structured hands-on course that helps reinforcing my understanding of Claude Code. Will recommend to others.

    Explanation of the concepts is simply brilliant and the practical applications are really useful. Highly recommend.

  • YasmineSenior Program Manager, Tech Nation

    Strong program which delivers practical tools and learnings on how to build products using claude code. For someone who is new to vibecoding, I now have a solid grasp of how to build with AI. Hamza is a particularly knowledgeable instructor and is constantly up-to-date with the newest developments in the space.

  • KurtProduct Leader, Consultant

    Hamza delivers again. Claude Code in Practice is key for learning how to turn ideas into shipped products using AI-native workflows—especially for Product Managers ready to write the PRD and build the prototype themselves. Hamza will step you through the full arc—idea to PRD to MVP to deployed product—with Claude Code as your build partner. You will design sub-agents, orchestrate multi-agent workflows, and wire in MCP connectors. This course develops your skills to move from spark to ship, leaving you with a portfolio of real products rather than a stack of notes. Enroll and ship!

  • BirendraProduct Manager, Walmart

    Built a full AI-powered product in four weeks using multi-agent Claude architecture. What impressed me most: the hands-on approach. Hamza teaches you how to think about breaking complex problems into focused agents that talk to each other. I shipped IronMind (4 agents orchestrating a daily habit companion) with a working backend and full UI. The capstone structure forces you to understand what you built deeply enough to explain it - that's the real skill. If you want to learn Claude Code seriously, not just toy projects, this course is the one.

    Great instructor and amazing content!!!

  • TarikProduct Manager, Outscale

    I took Claude Code in Practice and I'm extremely satisfied with the experience. Hamza and Aishwarya make a fantastic teaching duo — clear, approachable, and genuinely passionate about what they teach. The course is very well structured, with a logical progression that lets you build skills without ever feeling lost. The practical exercises are particularly well designed — you learn by doing, and the examples are relevant to real-world use cases. One thing I especially appreciated: the course is fully accessible to non-technical people. You don't need to be a developer to follow along and get real value out of it — that's a genuine strength. Hamza and Aishwarya are also responsive and available to answer questions, which makes a real difference. And the community around the course is active and supportive — a great bonus. Highly recommended, whether you're technical or not. This is an excellent entry point for anyone looking to get hands-on with Claude Code.

    Exceptionnal course. Support materials are to the point, and the classes and teachers really focus on getting what matters through - teachers availability is also great. On top of learning I built real life and useful applications for my business during the course. Thank you

  • KellySr. Product Designer, Optimum

    As a product designer, I was already building great products in Claude using design and AI strategy, but I never quite understood how the inner workings came together. After taking Claude Code in Practice, I now understand how skills, subagents, and agent teams work, and how to build user flows that hold up. I am confident in what I build and can discuss the architecture and functionality with assurance.

  • JamaalInclusive Designer, Jamaal.digital

    Very insightful course in the overview of the current state of claude code would definitely recommend it for beginners or more seasoned vibe coddles

  • AbrahamAutoCAD Draftsman, Butler and Associates Inc. Professional Surveyors

    The course materials are clear, well-structured, and very easy to follow, which made the learning experience smooth and enjoyable. I especially liked working with Claude Code running in the background—it feels incredibly powerful and intuitive. One highlight for me was using it to turn a complex repository setup into a simple, understandable structure during one of the assignments. That experience really showed the practical value of the tools taught in this course. Highly recommended!

    Amazing course. Thanks, Hamza!

  • RajEntrepreneur, CoCreations

    Brilliant course - Hamza is a enthusiastic, knowledgeable and motivated teacher. The course well balanced spending time on the core fundamentals with also challenging us with practical tasks - actually building agents. I've done many courses before and none have struck this balance like this one did! As a complete non technical professional I now feel empowered to build my own agents and am thirsty for more! I would say to get the most out of this course make sure you block some time during the 3 weeks of this course to build/ get the most out of it, as the time does go fast!

    This is an awesome course :)

  • MarcinLead PM, BOLD

    I learned a lot during the course. Hamza has helped a lot in understanding the principles of starting with Claude. As a PM with no coding experience, it was a very eye opening course, looking forward to learning more and experimenting with Claude.

  • BushraI am a Freelancer, -

    Claude Code in Practice is a very practical and helpful course that makes it easy to understand the full process from idea to PRD to prototype. The reverse engineering of LennyHub RAG on GitHub was a standout part for me because it made real systems much easier to understand. I also really liked learning how to build a team of specialist subagents, which changed how I approach tasks with Claude. The capstone project and reflection sections helped everything come together in a simple and clear way. The support from the class team, Slack community, and office hours was also very helpful throughout the course. Overall, I would definitely recommend this course to future students because it is simple, hands-on, and very practical.
