Claude or ChatGPT for our team?
Whichever one you already pay for. If it's an open choice, I start non-technical rooms on Claude, because Projects, connectors, skills and agentic work stack in an order people can follow without touching code. ChatGPT has the broader ecosystem and more of your team will have tried it already. That's a preference formed from teaching, not a benchmark, and I teach both.
Do participants need a paid Claude plan?
For the Masterclass, yes. The pre-work note asks everyone to arrive with a paid Claude plan, confirmed in the pre-work note, and already logged in, because the agentic block needs one. For a private team session it depends how far up the ladder you want to go, so we confirm plan requirements on the scoping call before anyone's asked to pay for anything.
What will we have built by the end?
4 things, in the 3 hr Masterclass format. A Claude Project holding your own documents and instructions. Your tools connected. One custom skill written, and one real task handed over to Cowork end to end. That's what the Aug 2026 cohorts built. Shorter formats stop earlier on the ladder, and the scoping call decides how far we go.
How long is a Claude workshop, and is it in person or online?
The Claude Masterclass is a 3 hr evening session in Singapore, hands-on the whole way. Private team sessions run anywhere from 2 hrs to a full day, in person in Singapore or online. 2 hrs gets a room through chat and context. 3 hrs reaches a custom skill and a task handed to Cowork. For a full day I'd pick in person, because the build blocks go better when I can look over shoulders.
How many people can join a Claude workshop?
Up to 30 for an open Masterclass cohort, while private sessions are sized around your team. I've run a full day for a private team of 6 to 7, and a 3 hr session for 40+ senior managers at the BNF Group strategy retreat in March 2026. Bigger rooms need helpers walking the floor while people build, so we sort that out on the scoping call.
Can we use SkillsFuture credits for a Claude workshop?
No. These Claude workshops aren't SkillsFuture-accredited, so SkillsFuture credits can't be used for them. Private team sessions are invoiced to your company, so they can come out of your own training budget instead.
How much does the Claude Masterclass cost?
A seat on the open Claude Masterclass is S$349. Private Claude training for teams is scoped per team, with no rate card, because the number moves with group size, format length, how much prep goes into building on your own documents, and whether it runs in person or online. Send those on the contact form and you get a figure back.
