Prompt Engineering Essentials 2025

From zero to confident: learn prompting

What you'll learn

Define prompting and use RTCCF (Role, Task, Context, Constraints, Format) to write clear prompts

Choose the right prompt type: instruction, role-based, question, creative, formatting, few-shot.

Turn vague asks into specific tasks with tone, length, do/don’t, and a clear output format.

Apply prompting to real work: study notes, marketing copy, email, and research.

Requirements

No programming or AI experience needed built for total beginners.

Description

Start from zero—no tech background needed. This beginner-friendly course turns prompt engineering into a reliable co-pilot for study, work, and business. You’ll learn a simple, repeatable structure that works for any task, how to choose the right prompt type for the goal, and how to control tone, length, and format so the results are clean and ready to use. By the end, you’ll brief AI clearly, get consistent outputs on the first try, and save your best prompts into a reusable library.What you’ll learnThe CLEAR checklist to tighten instructions (Context, Limits, Examples, Actions, Results)Prompt types: instruction, role-based, question, creative, formatting, zero-/few-shotQuality loops: critique-and-revise and step-by-step reasoning for accuracyEthical use: privacy awareness, bias reduction, and basic fact-checkingHow to build and maintain a personal prompt library for recurring tasksWho it’s forAbsolute beginners to AI, students and job-seekers, small business owners and marketers, teachers, and non-technical professionals who want practical wins fast.RequirementsNo prior experience required. A computer or mobile device with internet access is sufficient. Avoid sharing sensitive or confidential information in any prompts.OutcomeA practical, reusable workflow—write → run → refine → save—plus a starter library of reliable prompts you can apply immediately to research, communication, content, organization, and day-to-day problem solving.
