Is it worth paying for a Claude course for accountants?

The advice given was not to buy a paid Claude course for accountants (referencing courses priced around $1,500–$2,000), and instead to spend that money on Claude credits. The suggestion was to simply ask Claude directly to teach you things — for example, asking it to research and create a plan for a project (in this case, building an AI transcription service), then executing part of the plan yourself and handing remaining items to an engineering team. Recommended settings: turn the reasoning/thinking level up to at least 'high' when generating plans, ask Claude to do deep research so it checks its own output, and prompt it with follow-ups like 'ask me something I didn't ask before' to get better results through iterative prompt engineering.
