“I came in with literally zero coding experience and walked out two days later with a working cultural intelligence app — editorial design, AI analysis pipeline, 92 tests, the whole thing. The course teaches you to build YOUR thing, which makes everything stick.”

Reviews from past students
This course I NEEDED. I was overwhelmed with where to start and this bootcamp was exactly the thing I needed to overcome mental barriers I had. I came in with literally zero coding experience and walked out two days later with a working cultural intelligence app — editorial design, AI analysis pipeline, 92 tests, the whole thing. The course teaches you to build YOUR thing, which makes everything stick. If you have a real problem you want to solve, this is the fastest path from idea to working prototype I've experienced. THANK YOU THANK YOU!
The course gave me something I didn't expect: not just tools, but judgment. I could have learned Claude Code on my own, but it would have taken much longer to reach the same level of confidence. Avthar condenses the learning in a way that helps you understand how to think with the tool, not just how to use it. That difference is huge.
Claude Code Launchpad is a top class course taught by Avthar, who is a phenomenal instructor and one of the best in the industry. I learnt a great deal, and anyone serious about learning about Claude Code should not miss this course.
There are many courses available in the marketplace that teach lot of good concepts, but the value I gained from this course far exceeded my expectations. I sincerely thank Avthar for generously sharing his knowledge with his students.
This was an excellent course. Over the two-day session, I gained a tremendous amount of knowledge. I came in with a lot of uncertainty, and I'm walking away with real confidence in using Claude Code for my everyday work — and no more FOMO Avthar had very open mind for teaching and the material were very clear.
The course is well structured and provides a clear, straight forward path to learning Claude Code.
The course is well organized, goes at a great pace and includes valuable resources to get you started as an AI Native. Avthar is an excellent instructor, he breaks down the concepts into actionable steps along with demo's and clear explanations. I recommend this course 100%. I learned a lot and worth every penny and time I spent this weekend.
Two focused days made more progress than weeks of scattered YouTube videos. Highly recommend for anyone non-technical who wants to actually ship something.
The mindset framing at the beginning of the course was the biggest shift for me - build to get confidence, stop waiting to feel ready.
By end of day 1 I had a working app. Day 2 extended it with Skills and Plugins and also learnt about Claude workflows.
The cohort format helped more than expected. Others were at a similar beginner level, which kept things grounded.
Avthar and his course assistant were approachable throughout, and the pre-course checklist along with the Q&A sessions were super helpful in making progress.

Common questions
Do I need to know how to code?
You don’t need any coding or software engineering experience. You’ll learn how to use Claude Code to pick up the technical concepts you need along the way. Many past students with zero coding background successfully built and shipped apps during the course.
What if I don’t have a project idea?
That’s okay! You’ll get sample project ideas and prompts before the course, and we’ll help you choose one that fits your goals during the first session.
What do I need to join?
A laptop or desktop computer, and a paid Claude Pro ($20/mo) or Claude Max ($100–200/mo) subscription to access Claude Code.
What’s the difference between Core and Ultra?
Core includes the essentials you need to learn Claude Code. Ultra includes everything in Core, plus more personalized support from Avthar to turn what you learn into lasting results.
When are the live classes and what if I miss one?
Live sessions are on Saturday, November 14 and Sunday, November 15 from 12–4 PM ET. There are optional setup and installation office hours on Friday, November 13, from 12–1 PM ET.
All sessions are recorded and available within 24 hours, so if you miss a session, you can watch the recording. That said, attending live is strongly encouraged as the course is built around live demos followed by hands-on practice, and you get the most out of it by building in class.
Why only two days?
The hands-on, live group structure of the course is designed to help you make more progress in 2 focused days than in weeks of spread-out content. Long, multi-week courses sound nice, but life often gets in the way. All you need is two focused days to build the foundation that will last you for years to come.
I’ve watched AI with Avthar on YouTube. How is this different?
This course is the next step to put what you learn on YouTube into practice. In addition to live demos and a practical curriculum, this course offers things that I can’t via YouTube like live Q+A, in-class support, and personalized help when you’re stuck. You’ll also get accountability and community from your cohort batch peers, which makes it a friendly, supportive environment.
Can my company pay for it?
I recommend asking your manager to get the course expensed or covered under your budget for Learning or Professional Development. I also recommend you pick a work project or problem as your focus for the course as you’ll get immediate ROI and walk away with a relevant project / Skill you can use at your job.
Here’s a ready-to-copy reimbursement letter you can send to your manager.
Do I get help after the course?
Yes. For 2 weeks after class, you get Slack help for any Claude Code questions. Keep building after the course and get answers in Slack when you get stuck.
Are there discounts available?
For the November cohort, you can use code CLAUDE100 for $100 off the Core package or code CLAUDE200 for $200 off the Ultra package.
What’s the refund policy?
While I’m confident the course will be transformational, if you don’t feel it’s worth it, you can get a 100% refund before the start of Day 2 of class. That means you can attend the first day, decide if it’s a fit, and if not, you can get your money back. The Core package is covered by the Maven Guarantee.
