Description

Write better prompts, use proven prompt techniques and templates to get better results from AI tools you use at work.Transform the Way You Use AI at WorkArtificial Intelligence is changing how we work but most people are not getting the results they want.Why?Because they struggle to write effective prompts.This course will teach you how to use prompt engineering to unlock the full power of AI tools like ChatGPT, Google Gemini, and Claude.The key idea:Better prompts = Better AI results = Better work outcomesAnd the best part?Everything you learn can be applied to any AI tool, not just one platform.What student are saying about Steve’s AI courses”I love that the sessions are in bits. These make the sessions easy to follow and understand.” -Owalabi O”I enjoyed the instructors positive attitude and personality. Kept me engaged.”-Bridgett”I consider myself an intermediate user of ChatGPT, but it was the tie-in to business that was really helpful. I have recommended this course to professional friends who are interested in ChatGPT.” -Neil C”Really liked all of the different examples that were shown on how to actually use the program” -Gregory SWhat Makes This Course DifferentThis is not a technical course.This is a practical, real-world course designed for:Business professionalsLeaders and individual contributorsAnyone who wants to use AI more effectively at workYou’ll learn how to think, structure, and write prompts, not just copy random examples.What You Will LearnBy the end of this course, you will be able to:Write high-quality prompts that produce clear, useful AI outputsUse prompt engineering techniques to guide AI responsesApply prompt patterns and templates you can reuse again and againImprove AI results for real tasks like writing, planning, and decision-makingTurn AI into a true productivity tool—not just a noveltyCore Topics CoveredThis course is structured to take you from foundations → systems → real-world
