About AI First Training
AI First Training is the UK's dedicated Claude training company. We teach one tool, and we teach it properly. Most AI training spreads thin across many tools and leaves teams dabbling. We go deep on Claude, because depth is what changes how people actually work. Our flagship is Claude in 3 Days: a three-day, hands-on intensive capped at ten people, run in person in London and live online. Day one covers Claude, prompting, and system prompts.Day two covers Memory, Projects and Skills. Day three is Cowork and a Build Day, where each delegate builds working tools of their own. We also run one-day courses built around specific roles, including Claude for Sales, Marketing, Design and small business owners, plus bespoke in-house training shaped around a team's own work. The approach comes from a long training background. Founder Mark Young spent more than a decade running one of the UK's leading creative and software training companies, delivering classroom training to large brands and in-house teams across the country. AI First Training brings that same classroom-led, hands-on method to Claude. The focus is always on the outcome your business needs, with the depth of a single tool underneath. Delegates leave able to use Claude in their day-to-day work.
