Course overview

A focused course on writing, testing and maintaining prompts for production use. The course treats prompting as engineering work: version-controlled instructions, structured output, measurable quality and controlled cost. Techniques are practised across ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini and Perplexity so learners can see how the same prompt behaves on different models.

The final exercise is a documented prompt library for a chosen business function, with an evaluation sheet.

Who it is for
  • Anyone using AI tools daily at work
  • Marketers, analysts and support teams
  • Developers building AI features
  • Trainers and content teams
Prerequisites
No programming required. Comfort with web tools is enough.
How it runs
Learn → Practise → Build → Experience → Demonstrate, ending in a capstone. Delivered by practitioners from the engineering bench, in Madurai, Coimbatore and online.
