Craft Prompts That Deliver Clear, Accurate AI Results

Course Description

This course equips learners with the practical skills to design and refine prompts that improve the quality, clarity, and relevance of AI-generated outputs. From foundational prompting types to advanced multi-step strategies, learners will gain hands-on experience crafting prompts tailored to various tasks, tones, and tools. 

Emphasising structure, iteration, and model adaptability, this course is ideal for professionals who want to boost productivity and reduce hallucinations or irrelevant responses in AI interactions. Learners will explore prompt engineering tools, test prompts across models like ChatGPT and Claude, and apply decision-making frameworks to real-world prompting scenarios.

Prerequisite

Participants should be comfortable using web-based tools and have basic familiarity with Generative AI interfaces such as ChatGPT, Gemini, or Claude. No coding is required.

Target Audience

This course is suitable for business professionals, marketers, content creators, project leads, and digital teams interested in leveraging Generative AI tools more effectively. It is especially relevant for individuals tasked with using AI for writing, summarising, ideation, decision support, or client interaction.

Course Highlights

  • Explore prompting types such as zero-shot, few-shot, conditional, and CoT
  • Learn structured techniques to craft, revise, and optimise prompts
  • Use AI prompt tuning tools for efficiency and output evaluation
  • Design prompts for different use cases, models, and stakeholder needs
  • Apply real-world frameworks to evaluate, troubleshoot, and improve AI outputs

Course Objectives

  • Identify prompt types and apply appropriate structures based on task goals
  • Craft well-structured prompts with tone, formatting, and clarity considerations
  • Apply iterative strategies such as chaining, scaffolding, and refinement to improve AI responses
  • Evaluate and troubleshoot weak prompts using performance feedback or diagnostic tools
  • Adjust prompt formats for different AI models and use model-specific configuration parameters
  • Design stakeholder-aligned prompts for real-world tasks across domains and scenarios

Certification

Certification of Completion by Equinet Academy will be awarded to candidates who have demonstrated competency in the Prompt Engineering course assessment and achieved at least 75% attendance.
