What Our Students Say About Vertical Institute
Fion Heu
Generative AI Course Alumni, Sep 2025
This course sharpened my AI skills through hands-on practice with ChatGPT, Copilot, and Claude, while strengthening my prompt engineering techniques. I also explored advanced methods like Tree/Graph of Thought prompting and Custom GPTs. Grateful to Vertical Institute for a comprehensive course.
Boon Peng Yeo
Generative AI Course Alumni, Sep 2025
I love how the course focused on prompt engineering concepts: from zero-shot prompting to chain-of-thought reasoning, where you guide the AI through step-by-step logic. My instructor didn’t just teach us to use these tools; he made us understand that prompt engineering is part psychology, part linguistics, and part strategic thinking. Very useful for my consulting career.
Michael Lim
Vertical Institute Alumni
Excellent Gen AI course for beginners. Came with zero knowledge. At the end of the course managed to leverage on GenAi to complete the Capstone project. Thankful for my instructor and teaching assistant.
