Course Overview

What this course is designed to develop

Prompt Engineering for Business turns trial-and-error chatbot use into a repeatable discipline. You will learn the named frameworks professionals rely on — role prompting, few-shot examples, chain-of-thought, and the RTCF structure — and apply them to emails, reports, analysis, and customer communication. By the end you will own a tested prompt library and a scoring rubric for evaluating AI output before it reaches a client.

Learning Outcomes

What the learner should be able to understand, build, or execute.

01

Construct prompts using the RTCF framework (Role, Task, Context, Format) for any business request

02

Apply few-shot prompting with 2-3 worked examples to lock tone, structure, and quality

03

Use chain-of-thought and step-back prompting to improve reasoning on analysis and decision tasks

04

Build and version a reusable prompt library with variables and clear naming conventions

05

Evaluate AI output against a 5-point quality rubric and run structured iteration loops

06

Reduce hallucination and bias through grounding, constraints, and verification prompts
