    How models work, their architecture and limitations.
    Tool & model selection
    Evaluate and choose the right approach by task requirements.
    Prompt writing
    Clear goals, context, format; zero-shot, few-shot, role-based techniques.
    Prompt refinement
    Iterative loops, chain-of-thought, prompt chaining for complex tasks.
    Risk & ethics
    Spot hallucinations, bias, and privacy issues; apply verify-and-edit workflows.
    Task scoping
    Know what AI can and can't do; match tools and modalities to business needs.

    Your learning path

    This course runs only in a self-paced format. All materials available immediately. No deadlines, no group sessions — learn at your own pace.

    Module 1 · Basics of AI and Prompt Engineering
    Introduction to AI, generative AI, and LLMs: what they are, how they work, where they help and where they don't. Key myths, first practice with simple prompts, and an overview of risks. A deeper look at how LLMs process text, their limitations (context window, memory), and how to choose between different models and tools with data security in mind.
    Module 2 · Prompt Engineering
    A practical module on prompt engineering: types of prompts, core elements of a good prompt, zero-shot and few-shot techniques, common pitfalls, and how to verify AI outputs. Includes basic ethics and data-sharing rules.
    Module 3 · Best Practices for Prompt Engineering
    Advanced, practice-focused techniques: iterative refinement, Chain of Thought, prompt chaining, Tree of Thoughts, and business-oriented formats (role-based, tone-specific, markdown-structured prompts) for complex multi-step tasks.
