Prompt Engineering Course: Get Reliable Results from ChatGPT, Claude and Gemini

Before you start

• A free account on ChatGPT, Claude or Gemini (any one is enough)
• Comfortable reading and writing English; no coding needed
• Real tasks from your own work or studies to practise on

Curriculum

Lesson 1 is free to read, no account needed. The rest unlock the moment you buy.

1. 1 ChatGPT tutorial — your first good prompt Preview free What ChatGPT, Claude and Gemini are, how to start in five minutes, and the three parts every good prompt has — with before-and-after examples you can try right now. 3 min
2. 2 What is actually happening — and why AI makes things up How a language model produces text, what tokens and the context window are, why answers can be confidently wrong, what "knowledge cutoff" means, and a simple rule for when to verify. 3 min
3. 3 A prompt framework you can reuse for anything Six building blocks — task, context, audience, constraints, format and examples — turned into a fill-in template, with a worked example and the common mistakes each block fixes. 3 min
4. 4 Examples — show, don't tell Why one good example beats a paragraph of instructions, how to pick examples that cover the tricky cases, using your own past work as a style guide, and the trap of examples being copied too closely. 3 min
5. 5 Break big tasks into steps Why one giant prompt produces a mediocre result, asking for a plan before the work, prompt chaining across turns, asking the model to reason step by step, and keeping long jobs on track. 3 min
6. 6 Get the output in the shape you need Tables with named columns, checklists, templates with placeholders and JSON — how to ask for structure, how to keep it consistent across many items, and moving the result into Excel, Google Sheets or code. 3 min
7. 7 Working with your own documents Summarise, compare, extract and question PDFs, reports and spreadsheets — how to give the document to the AI, keep answers grounded in it, ask for quotes and page references, and handle long files. 3 min
8. 8 Writing and editing in your own voice Use AI as an editor, not a ghostwriter — drafting from your notes, editing for clarity and tone, feedback on your writing, keeping your own voice, and the phrases that make text sound machine-written. 3 min
9. 9 Research and analysis you can verify Use AI to explore a topic fast without believing everything it says — asking for sources and checking them, getting the other side of the argument, analysing options and data, and a verification routine. 3 min
10. 10 Prompting for code and technical work For developers and non-developers alike — spreadsheet formulas, scripts and code: writing a spec the AI can follow, asking for tests and explanations, reviewing what comes back, and debugging with AI. 3 min
11. 11 Safety, privacy and honest use What never to paste into an AI tool, how data settings and company policies work, bias and fairness, prompt injection in documents and web pages, and using AI honestly at work and in study. 3 min
12. 12 Your prompt library and everyday workflows Turn what worked into reusable prompts — a simple library, custom instructions and projects, testing a prompt before you rely on it, weekly workflows for common jobs, and where to go next. 3 min
