  • Quality Evaluation : End-of-session satisfaction questionnaire to measure the relevance and effectiveness of the training as perceived by participants.

Frequently Asked Questions

Business professionals who apply generative AI to everyday tasks and want to get consistently better results from large language models.
A search retrieves existing documents from keywords; a prompt asks a model to produce something from your instructions and context. One module is devoted to that comparison and to the benefits of prompting.
You will be able to explain what generative AI can do, tell prompting apart from search, apply prompt design best practices, and use concrete approaches to improve the accuracy of the responses you get.
The course ends with a quiz and a summary module that consolidate the prompting practices covered during the session.
