Segment Finding
Capgemini's NPS (+65, n=20, 0 detractors) was driven by a genuinely foundational-level room - 41% early/foundational AI experience. Promoters cite the hands-on format as what landed for them. Mirror image of cohorts where advanced practitioners find material too basic.
Analyst Note
Passive rate ran +4pts above programme average (43%). No single driver - mix of advanced practitioners wanting more depth, some feeling hands-on time was rushed, and light corporate-environment friction. Not a satisfaction problem: 0% detractors cohort-wide.

8Absolute eye opener on som many assumptions and preconceived ideas we have about how LLM s operate and are to be used and refined for use cases10
9Smooth, well presented, informative and more importantly very helpful presenters.10
10Great level of depth. Often these courses don’t touch on detail. Candid discussions around trade offs. No correct answers10
11The training touched real world relevant topics10
12hands on experience and practice that studying for an exam alone would not necessarily give you10
13It completely changed how I think about building AI solutions it was practical, hands-on, and covered concepts like context engineering and evaluation that I’d never been exposed to before.10
14Learning by using the Claude’s capabilities10
15I think it’s not only a getting started program. Even if you use AI in daily basics with your clients in production, you’ll learn tips and hints on how to improve your systems; haiku capabilities, warming up cache, etc10
16It's a good foundation to get up to speed quickly. Then people can take their own time to sharpen their skills.10
17Good breath of knowledge, very well run course. Enjoyable9
18Excellent starter9
19Useful content for working with anthropic products, but also on the path to certification9
20The training session was informative, educative and insightful. It was accompanied by practical examples and use cases.9
21Very beneficial in clearing miss conception about the power truck and compliance of AI especially claude9
22Many things that actually I was not sure about implementing solution using Claude code. It was great experience working on different exercises9
23I loved it! The only reason I didn't give it a 10 is that the content, while great and very well organized, can be a bit basic for many of my colleagues at my company. But I would recomend it anyway9

4Good pace of lessons, engaging with the hands on activities using jupyter8
5Great learnings, especially for engineers working on agentic systems/use cases.8
6A good starter and good depth go material. Some of the notebooks were hard to use and not always that intuitive8
7Good foundation8
8I am a newbie in the domain and I feel to confident to start now.8
9I understand different levers to pull to improve solution accuracy , cost or speed, and appropriate ways to build multi agent systems8
10Very hands on and useful to get into working with Claude Code. Depends on if the colleague is working on project with Claude available.8
11Interesting topics that keeps you up to date with AI8
12I think it can be too basic. But it’s the right level for a basecamp I think8
13I think it gives you a great overview of anthropic capabilities and also it gives you useful tools for the real production environments such as the evals and infernce optimization8
14It was a good mix of hands on and information. However time for the hands on sessions was to short to really get into it. I had to rush too much to keep pace.8
15Interesting content, very hands on.7
16Fun course7
17Depends on knowledge level if helpful. Trained architects - not very helpful. Beginner - very helpful. For myself, I would like ultimate deep dive / black belt training7
18day 2 with evals and inference was really good. end of day 1 needs a little tightening7
19Would be a 10 if there where ready to use sandboxes instead of having to work around our corporate configurations :D7
20Most of my direct colleagues are not developers7
21Good content, but wasn’t what I was expecting. Would like to have built something from scratch - still no idea where to start with that! Would also been better to have a getting started project I could have downloaded and run up in advance, so I wasn’t spending the firm morning talking to my helpdesk to get going7
22This course will help to start building the knowledge and practice around using Claude and its tools like code7

15Excellent stuff. Explore ….
16There absolutely are low hanging fruits in saving tokens
17If something is wrong it is not usually the model, it's the stuff around it
18It’s not always about improving model , it’s about improving the implementation of the model
19All models are good what you do with them makes the difference
20It’s not always the model that’s at fault. 🙂
21evals are required before taking AI apps to production
22Interview yourself and build a skill Context management is everything and it’s all tradeoffs The prompt rescue notebook. Best tutorial notebook structure and style I’ve seen. Very intuitive.
23Do not just switch to the advanced model and hope everything will workout better
24A good framework can make Haiku give Sonnet results.
25context engineering as a concept
26AI success depends more on the quality of the context you provide than on the model you choose.
27That system prompts can be repaired if you look at the entire AI solution.
28Claude can do amazing things
29AI can make your life easier
30AI prompting
31More powerful models != better model choice
32The solution is rarely changing the model, but the harness around it
33Half is the model, half is the context/harness. Sometimes, mostly maybe, we have to fix that instead of change model
34The same max tokens tip
35even if you hit 100% on evals you may be using a model too expensive and inference optimization is the other useful tool to pair with evals before production
36Basically the same things I said in the previous question
37I'll do a prsentation about the basecamp and continue to distribute knowledge how to use agenti ai efficiently

19A demo
20Complete the Hackathon to have a UI

22Use specific skills to tune output. build evals to verify quality

24a persistent + growing memory agent
25Evals, cost and latency comparisons
26The advisor concept for a smaller model.
27use of sub-agents with better curated, trimmed and targeted context
28Apply context engineering and evaluation techniques to improve our AI agents and deliver more reliable outputs.
29I want to leverage MCPs and agents to do life admin tasks (meal prep ideas or even doing a wardrobe audit)
30Using Claude everyday
31I don't really work with AI
32Incorporating evals in work flow taking away some brilliant ideas
33Some multi agent personal workflows
34Cache warm up, and give it another opportunity at little haiku as I think now that it’s more capable than we thought before
35Just keep doing as now, building tools and skills that will help me and my team to improve efficency in coding
36The caching with max tokens set to zero
37evals and inference optimization
38All three hecathon demos and certification
39Mainly the things I learned that are tricky to learn by yourself or they are counter intuitive. These two: - The prewarming of the cache before launching parallel requests. - Using Haiku confidently with the right harness. It can be almost as capable as bigger models
40Agents whon can memorize and improver their skills
