WHY THIS COURSE?

Artificial Intelligence is rapidly becoming an essential part of the modern workplace. Across industries and professional disciplines, organizations increasingly value people who know how to communicate effectively with AI systems and obtain accurate, relevant, and consistent results.

AI Prompt Engineering develops the practical skills needed to formulate clear, structured, and effective instructions for today’s AI tools.

Whether you use AI for research, analysis, writing, problem-solving, ideation, productivity, customer communication, or creative work, learning how to structure better prompts can significantly improve the quality and reliability of the results you receive.

WHAT WILL YOU LEARN?

This course provides a practical introduction to prompt engineering for Large Language Models (LLMs), AI agents, and AI image-generation systems.

You will learn how to design, structure, test, and refine prompts to improve the quality, accuracy, consistency, and reliability of AI-generated outputs.

You will also develop an understanding of important limitations of generative AI, including hallucinations, context limitations, and the factors that influence how AI models respond.

The course is designed for professionals and learners from all sectors and educational backgrounds. No programming experience is required.

Important: This is a prompt engineering course, not a software-development course. Programming and software engineering are separate fields of study and are not prerequisites for this training.

KEY TOPICS TAUGHT

Upon completion of the course, you will have developed an understanding of:

AI & Language Model Foundations

• Large Language Models (LLMs) and the principles behind how they work
• Small Language Models (SLMs)
• Tokens, context windows, and their effect on AI-generated output
• The differences between online and offline AI models

AI Behavior & Limitations

• Model temperature and its effect on consistency, variation, and creativity
• AI hallucinations and practical techniques for managing them
• Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) and why it does not completely eliminate hallucinations

Prompt Engineering

• The essential components of an effective prompt for text generation
• The essential components of an effective prompt for AI image generation
• Practical techniques for improving prompt accuracy, reliability, and consistency
• Methods for refining prompts through testing and iteration
• How to communicate more effectively with modern generative AI systems

PROFESSIONAL CERTIFICATION

Learners also have the opportunity to earn a professional microcredential upon successful completion of the course.

An online examination is available at no additional cost, giving participants the opportunity to demonstrate their understanding of the course material and obtain certification.

Successful candidates receive an accredited certificate with digital badge functionality, making it easy to share and verify their achievement online and across professional platforms.

WHO IS THIS COURSE FOR?

This course is suitable for anyone who wants to use generative AI more effectively in a professional, academic, entrepreneurial, or creative environment.

No technical background is required. The course focuses on practical AI communication skills that can be applied across industries, job functions, and levels of experience.
