What you will learn

By the end, you will be able to

  • Write a prompt with four parts: the task, the context, an example and the format you want back
  • Give the AI the background it needs without pasting in information you should not share
  • Use examples to get the tone, length and style you want
  • Ask for the output in a form you can use straight away, such as a table, a list or a draft email
  • Improve a weak answer with follow up prompts instead of starting again
  • Build a small set of reusable prompts for tasks you do every week
Always updated

AI changes every week. Don't worry, so do we.

A course recorded last year can teach menus that no longer exist. We built this course to keep up with the tools.

  • Checked every week against the latest AI tool updates, the law and guidance
  • Updated when something changes, usually the same week
  • Every update included in your 12 months of access

Made for people at work

FAQ

Questions, answered

Something else?

We answer every message ourselves, usually the same working day.

Which AI tool do I need for this course?

Any of them. The methods work the same way in ChatGPT, Microsoft Copilot, Claude and Gemini, including the free versions. You can practise in whichever tool your organisation allows.

Is this a prompt engineering course?

It is prompt engineering for everyday work, not for developers. You will not write code. You will learn a simple, repeatable way to ask AI for what you need and get it in fewer attempts.

How is it different from free videos online?

It is short, structured and tested. Each lesson makes you practise the skill on a realistic work task, an 8 question quiz checks you have it, and you get a certificate. We also check it every week, and when the tools change, the course changes.

Do I need to take AI at Work: The Essentials first?

It helps, because it covers what information is safe to put into an AI tool, and it is free. But Prompting That Works stands on its own if you are short of time.

Can I buy it for my team?

Yes. All Access is £39 a person for 5 or more people (until 31 January 2027 everyone pays the £29 launch price), and we quote for 50 or more. Get in touch and we will set it up for you. The course is also in All Access, with every other course.

Can I get a refund?

Yes, if you have not started the course: ask within 14 days of buying and we will refund you in full. Once you start a course the sale is final, so if you want to see how our courses work first, try AI at Work: The Essentials, which is free. Your statutory rights are not affected.

Is this course up to date?

Always. AI changes every week, and so do we. We check this course every week. When an AI tool, the law or the guidance changes, the course changes, and the update reaches you straight away. The date of the last check is shown on this page, and every update is included in your 12 months of access.
