AI Prompt Engineering Foundations

AI Prompt Engineering Foundations

Prompt Engineering Foundations

Climb the Ladder from “Single Prompt” to Multi-Agent Mastery. This foundational program teaches you how to design, test, and secure prompts across six modules, progressing from baseline clarity to multi-agent orchestration. By the summit, you’ll be equipped to deploy reliable, ethical, and scalable AI outputs across any role or industry.

Learning Objectives

  • Articulate the baseline ingredients of a good prompt and demonstrate cheat-sheet tuning (tone, role, goal).
  • Employ concise 3-step frameworks (RTF, TAG, BAB) to create goal-oriented micro-content.
  • Inject context and examples with 4-step scaffolds (CARE, RISE, RACE) to cut hallucinations by ≥30%.
  • Build multi-section outputs (reports, SOPs) using 5-step frameworks (ROSES, COAST, TRACE, RACEF).
  • Expose and critique model reasoning with Chain-of-Thought, Chain-of-Destiny, and Playoff methods.
  • Orchestrate Tree-of-Thought, Society-of-Mind, SEPE loops, multimodal prompts, plugins, and red-teaming.

Who Should Enroll

  • Content strategists, copywriters, marketers: Turn AI into a 24/7 ideation partner for brand-consistent copy.
  • Product & UX managers: Rapidly prototype in-app copilots, conversation flows, and bots.
  • Developers, data scientists, AI engineers: Tighten model instructions, cut hallucinations, embed SEPE loops.
  • Business leaders & entrepreneurs: Spot ROI inflection points, mitigate risk, and build guardrails.
  • Educators & L&D professionals: Design adaptive prompts for personalized learning and integrity.
  • Compliance, risk & AI-ethics professionals: Stress-test models, adversarial prompts, and governance scaffolds.

Prerequisites

  • Clear written communication skills
  • Access to any modern LLM (ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini—free tier OK)
  • Basic computer literacy (copy-paste, research, file sharing)
  • Recommended: Prior chat experience, Markdown or spreadsheet comfort, access to multimodal or plugin models
  • No coding required (optional Python/API stretch goals provided)
