Course Overview

What this course covers

Generative AI and Prompt Engineering is a hands-on programme for learners who want to move beyond basic AI usage and write structured, repeatable prompts for real professional tasks. The course focuses on the practical skill of communicating clearly with generative AI tools so the outputs are more useful, accurate, and aligned with your intent.

Throughout the programme, you will work through realistic scenarios from research, communication, content planning, and problem-solving. You will learn how to design prompts for different tasks, refine outputs through follow-up prompts, build small reusable prompt templates, and review AI-generated content for accuracy and tone. Each module combines short explanations with guided practice.

By the end of the course, you will have a personal library of prompt patterns you can apply immediately in your work or study. The programme is suitable for professionals, graduates, and entrepreneurs who already use AI tools occasionally and want to use them with more intention and consistency.

Learning Outcomes

What you will learn

By the end of this programme, you will be able to:

  • Write clear, structured prompts

    Construct prompts that include role, context, task, format, and constraints so AI outputs are more predictable and useful.

  • Refine outputs through follow-ups

    Iterate on AI responses with targeted follow-up prompts to correct tone, fill gaps, or restructure content.

  • Build reusable prompt patterns

    Create a small library of prompt templates for recurring tasks such as summaries, emails, outlines, and analyses.

  • Handle complex multi-step tasks

    Break a large request into a chain of prompts and use the output of one as the input for the next.

  • Review outputs critically

    Apply a verification routine to check AI responses for accuracy, missing context, bias, and tone mismatches.

  • Apply prompts to real professional tasks

    Use prompt patterns for research, writing, planning, and communication tasks relevant to your own work.
