The difference between a toy and a tool is the instruction.
Prompt engineering became a punchline because most of it was folklore — a list of magic phrases traded on social media. The engineering part is real and it is unglamorous: writing an instruction that is specific enough to be testable, then testing it, then keeping it working when the model changes underneath you. Three weeks, in the evenings, on doing it properly.
- Duration
- 3 weeks · around 12 hours
- Mode
- Live online — real sessions, not recordings
- Timing
- Evenings, designed around a full-time job
- Cohort size
- 30–40
- Recordings
- Every session recorded, yours to keep
Who this is for
- Anyone whose AI output is inconsistent and who cannot say why
- Developers wiring model calls into an application
- Product, support and operations people writing the instructions a team depends on
- Content, marketing and research teams who need repeatable quality, not lucky answers
Anyone looking for a list of prompts to copy. This program is about method, and the method outlasts any list.
Prerequisites
- None, though comfort with a spreadsheet helps in week 2.
No coding is required for weeks 1 and 2. Week 3 shows prompts inside an application; the code is provided and reading it is enough.
