Claude Code for Non-Technical Professionals: Advanced AI Work Without Programming

You do not need to write code to use Claude Code. This session shows non-technical professionals how to set up and use Claude Code safely — GDPR-compliant, for real tasks, with no programming required.

About this seminar

Claude Code is often described as a tool for developers. That description undersells it. For non-technical professionals who are comfortable with Claude.ai, Claude Code opens a new level of capability: longer tasks, persistent context, file management, and the ability to work with documents and data at a scale that the browser interface cannot match.

This full-day session is specifically designed for professionals without a programming background. We will not write code. Instead, we focus on what matters: setting up Claude Code correctly, configuring it for safe and productive use, and running a practical task from start to finish.

The session covers the four configuration elements that make Claude Code useful: CLAUDE.md (your standing instructions), Skills (reusable workflows), Memory (what Claude retains about you and your work), and folder structure (how to organise your AI workspace). We also address GDPR implications — what to configure and what to avoid when handling professional data.

Each participant leaves with a configured Claude Code workspace and at least one completed real task. The Working with Claude in Depth session (CL-B) is recommended.

  • Set up Claude Code in a safe, GDPR-compliant configuration without writing code
  • Configure CLAUDE.md, Skills, and Memory files for their professional context
  • Apply a logical folder structure to organise their Claude workspace
