Prompt Engineering
Go beyond basics with advanced prompt engineering techniques. Learn roles, few-shot learning, chain-of-thought, and proven patterns that professionals use.
What You'll Learn
- Construct prompts using the RACE framework (Role, Action, Context, Examples)
- Design effective personas that shape AI behavior and tone
- Apply few-shot learning to teach AI new patterns through examples
- Use chain-of-thought prompting to improve reasoning accuracy
- Implement proven prompt patterns for common use cases
- Analyze and optimize prompts that aren't working as expected
Course Syllabus
Prerequisites
- AI Fundamentals course (or equivalent knowledge)
- Basic experience using AI assistants
You’ve learned the basics. You can write a clear prompt and get decent results. But sometimes you need more than decent.
Maybe you’re building AI-powered workflows. Maybe you need consistent, reliable outputs every time. Or maybe you’ve hit the ceiling with basic prompting and want to level up.
This course teaches you the techniques that professional prompt engineers use. Not theoretical concepts—practical methods you can apply immediately to get dramatically better results.
By the end, you won’t just write prompts. You’ll engineer them.

Frequently Asked Questions
What's the difference between this and AI Fundamentals?
AI Fundamentals teaches the basics of prompting. This course goes deeper into professional techniques like few-shot learning, chain-of-thought, and systematic prompt patterns.
Do I need programming skills?
No programming required. While some examples show structured outputs like JSON, you don't need to code to apply these techniques.
Will these techniques work with any AI?
Yes! These are universal prompt engineering principles that work with ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and other AI assistants.
How is this different from prompt templates?
Templates give you ready-to-use prompts. This course teaches you HOW to create effective prompts from scratch for any situation.
