# Get a personal course built for you, one stage at a time

> It checks your understanding before opening the next stage, like a private teacher who never gets tired.

Let Claude interview you, then build a self-guided course on any topic in stages. The key rule: you pass each stage before moving on. Keep it in its own Project so the course stays on track.

## The prompt

Fill in the parts in [square brackets], or leave them and the AI will ask you for them.

```text
Build me a self-guided course on [COURSE TOPIC, e.g. using AI in my coaching business]. First, interview me. Ask about who I am, what I do, what I already know, and what I want to be able to do when we're finished, one question at a time. Then design a course with [NUMBER OF STAGES, e.g. 8] stages, from the basics to real-world practice, each with a short lesson, an example from my work, and a hands-on task. One important rule: I'm not allowed to move to the next stage until I pass a short check on the current one. If I struggle, explain it a different way. At the start of each session, remind me where I am.
```

## Step by step

1. Create a new Claude Project named after the topic.
2. Paste the prompt and answer the interview questions.
3. Work through one stage a day in the same Project.
4. Ask it to explain again in a new way whenever a check trips you up.

## What you'll get

A personalized, staged course with lessons, examples from your own work, hands-on tasks, and checks you pass before moving on.
