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
