Course Overview
Why Learn Prompt Engineering?
This course teaches you to write those prompts on purpose rather than by trial and error. You learn structured frameworks like COSTAR, few-shot and chain-of-thought prompting, and how to turn your best prompts into reusable “prompt functions”. Every technique is practised live with an instructor, on tasks like summarising reports, drafting documents and researching a topic.

Which Prompting Frameworks Will You Learn?
Modules
What Does Each Prompt Engineering Lesson Cover?
How large language models read your prompt, why vague prompts fail, and how to add roles, constraints and evaluation checks.
Write structured prompts that give you usable answers.
Prompting for specific jobs: summaries, Q&A and analysis, using the ACROSTIC and COSTAR frameworks.
Reuse one prompt structure across your common work tasks.
Zero-, one- and few-shot prompting, chain-of-thought reasoning, and getting answers back as CSV, JSON or document templates.
Pick the right prompting method and output format for each task.
Tree-of-thought prompting, working with reasoning models, prompting as programming, and responsible AI-assisted research.
Build reusable prompt functions and check AI research before you rely on it.
What Else Will You Learn Beyond Prompt Engineering?
This prompt engineering course is part of our WSQ Generative AI Course, so you also learn to put your prompts to work:
Give AI your own documents to work from (retrieval-augmented generation), and set up a Custom GPT that runs your best prompts for you.
Send prompts to AI models through the OpenAI API, adjust settings like temperature, keep API keys secure and compare providers.
The other side of prompting: prompt injection, jailbreaks and other LLM attacks, plus the safeguards and ethical checks that protect you and your organisation.
- Written Assessment: An open-book written assessment of 4 short questions, plus a take-home project you submit on the last day and present to an assessor.
Entry Requirements
- A laptop, a stable internet connection and an email address
