Every cohort opens with a live welcome from the Clay team. Meet the people who built the product and named the practice.
Build hands-on from day one
You are in a real Clay table from the first minute. No passive lectures; you build as you learn.
Learn with ambitious peers
Each cohort is a small pod of operators working in the open. You trade workflows, swap feedback, and leave with a community.

Build your outbound engine
Outbound Orchestration Foundations
Build an outbound campaign you can run more than once. Start with an audience worth targeting, enrich only what the campaign needs, use real signals to improve timing and relevance, and test each step in Clay before you scale it.
GTM operators running outbound today: SDRs, AEs, and growth leads who want an engine they can rerun instead of a list they rebuild every month.
11 days4 modulesAsync plus liveBeginner

What our graduates had to say
“
Finally, not just another mind-numbingly simple online course with a bogus certification at the end. Challenging, informative, and you'll leave with real skills you can apply immediately.
Andrew SigartoMarketing Ops Manager, Huntress Labs“
The biggest value for me was clarity. It helped simplify how to think about building TAM lists in a structured way, especially sourcing signals before enriching everything. It felt less like tool training and more like a shift in how to architect smarter GTM systems.
Lexi KelseySr. Director of Growth Marketing, NTT Data“
The cohort was great, really tested and pushed my knowledge. The chat between participants was so helpful and gave me plenty of ideas and feedback to move forward: it's a great community to be a part of.
