Course Outline
Introduction to AI Prompting
This module introduces participants to the fundamentals of AI prompting and the concept of prompt engineering. Participants will learn how Generative AI systems interpret instructions and how prompts influence the quality and relevance of AI-generated responses. The session covers key elements of prompt structure, common characteristics of effective prompts, and examples of how prompts are used to guide AI systems in generating useful outputs. This module provides the foundation for applying prompting techniques in subsequent modules.
Prompting Structure and Techniques
This module introduces structured prompting techniques used to guide Generative AI systems in producing accurate and relevant outputs. Participants will explore different prompting approaches including zero-shot prompting, one-shot prompting, few-shot prompting, and role-based prompting. Through guided demonstrations and practical exercises, participants will practise applying prompting techniques to generate more structured and useful AI responses for workplace-related tasks.
Advanced Prompt Design Strategies
This module introduces advanced prompting strategies used to enhance the quality, accuracy, and relevance of AI-generated responses. Participants will explore techniques such as iterative prompting, multi-step prompting, prompt refinement, and output optimization. Through guided demonstrations and hands-on activities, participants will practice applying advanced prompt design strategies to improve AI outputs for workplace tasks including writing, research, and business analysis.
Prompt Optimization and Application
This module introduces advanced prompting strategies used to enhance the quality, accuracy, and relevance of AI-generated responses. Participants will explore techniques such as iterative prompting, multi-step prompting, prompt refinement, and output optimization. Through guided demonstrations and hands-on activities, participants will practice applying advanced prompt design strategies to improve AI outputs for workplace tasks including writing, research, and business analysis.
Prompt Library Toolkit Development (Assessment)
This module serves as the final practical assessment where participants apply the prompting techniques learned throughout the programme.
