Dasow Academy: free AI courses for your actual job
Most AI training teaches you the tool. You finish knowing what a context window is, and you still have no idea what to do at seven on Monday morning when three bids are due.
Dasow Academy takes the other approach. Every course is built around one line of work, and every exercise uses the files, exports and awkward customer emails you already deal with. It is free, there is no sales call waiting at the end, and you can start right now at academy.dasow.pro.
What Dasow Academy is
Nineteen courses, each one aimed at a single trade or role. A course is broken into short stops instead of long videos, so you can finish one over lunch. Each stop hands you prompts written for someone who does your job, rather than generic templates you have to rewrite. At the end there is a quiz and a certificate.
The material is written for Claude. The thinking transfers to other assistants, the exact menu paths do not. Claude helped draft and structure every course, and a person at Dasow reviewed every stop before it went live.
Start at the level you are actually at
There are four rungs. Pick the one that describes your week, not the one that sounds impressive.
Beginner. You have never used Claude for work. You get your first real wins, the habits that keep client data safe, and one project you can point at.
Intermediate. You use Claude most weeks. This is the full workflow your job runs on, end to end, including files, Projects, connectors and scheduled routines.
Hard. You already run part of your job on Claude. Delegation, scheduled work, Claude in Chrome, Claude Code, and quality control you can measure.
Seriously hard. You want to build with Claude rather than just use it. Skills, connectors, agents, evaluation and a graded capstone. These are on the way.
If you are not sure, take AI at Work: Foundations first, then move to the course for your trade.
Six of the tracks
Construction. Plans to bid, bid to change order, without losing your evenings.
Accounting and bookkeeping. Categorize, reconcile and close a client month without giving up the weekend.
Home services. Run the board, price the job from the driveway, get home by six.
Law. One matter end to end, with privilege intact and every citation checked.
SEO. A month of multi-location organic search, from the raw export to the client report.
Sales. One deal from a cold list to a signed proposal, with the admin taken off your plate.
Thirteen more cover small business owners, home remodeling, social media, digital marketing at two levels, web and graphic design, Shopify stores, tech support and IT, everyday productivity, and a gentle track for kids.
The certificate, and the page that proves it
Pass the quiz and you get a certificate with its own verification link. Anyone you send it to can open the verify page and confirm it is genuine, which matters when the certificate goes on a resume, a LinkedIn profile or a capability statement attached to a bid. Nothing to pay, nothing to renew.
Where to start
Open the course catalog, filter by your trade or your level, and pick the course that matches the week you are having. The first stop takes a few minutes, and you can stop and come back whenever the phone rings.
