What you will be able to do
- Structure a prompt with context, task, constraints and output format
- Use examples to get a consistent style or format
- Break a big job into a chain of smaller prompts
- Test and improve a prompt with a few sample inputs
- Recognise prompt injection when AI reads untrusted text

About the teacher
Teaches AI basics and everyday prompting
3 tutors
I teach people who use AI at work but never had the basics explained. My tutors start from plain words, then move to habits you can use the same day: clear prompts, checking answers, and knowing when not to use AI.
