Applied Prompt Engineering Associate
A free Prompt Engineering course from insiderOne University, in English, that takes about 2 hours. Get reliable work out of a model, and check it before you send it. It ends in one assessed project. The course and the certificate are free. Anyone can verify the certificate at its own link, without an account.

What you will be able to do
- Write prompts with a clear task, context, audience, constraints and output format for everyday work
- Build few-shot prompts and structured tables that show a gap instead of filling it
- Break a large task into a chain of checkable steps, with the arithmetic kept in a spreadsheet
- Produce a line by line check of model output that catches invented figures, causes and citations
- Redact a work document so a chat assistant can help without seeing personal data
- Build a reusable prompt template and test it on several inputs before the team relies on it
Students, freshers and early career professionals in any role who already use a chat assistant for college or work and want output they can put their name to.

The Monday depot update

About 125 minutes in total.
Two levels
Finish the units and the project and you get the Certificate of Completion. Pass the live skill challenge on Prompt Engineering at Practitioner level or above and it becomes a Verified Certificate, which anyone you send it to can check for themselves.
Questions
What does it cost?
Nothing. The course and the certificate are free, and so is verifying it.
Can an employer check it?
Yes. Every certificate has its own page, and the code printed on it resolves there without anyone needing an account.
Do I need any experience?
No. These are written for students and people in their first job, and they assume nothing.
What do I actually walk away with?
The certificate, and the piece of work you made for the project. That goes into your insiderOne profile as a proof item, private until you choose to show it.
Know someone studying this?
The course and the certificate are free, and anyone they send it to can check it.
