Generative AI tools are increasingly being used to support everyday tasks, from drafting and summarising content to analysing information and creating images, audio and video. The quality of these results often depends on how clearly and effectively users communicate with Generative AI tools.
To help individuals and organisations develop these practical skills, CeADAR’s European Digital Innovation Hub for AI programme has developed this accessible, self-paced online course.
This course will help you:
- Understand prompts and prompt engineering
- Create clear, structured and effective prompts
- Apply prompting techniques and advanced patterns
- Prompt Generative AI tools across text, image, audio and video
- Evaluate, refine and improve AI-generated outputs
- Use generative AI safely, responsibly and effectively
Open to all Irish enterprises and public-sector organisations, this self-paced online course includes five modules. No previous technical knowledge or experience with prompt engineering is required.
This course is fully funded and supported by the European Digital Innovation Hub for AI programme, funded by Enterprise Ireland and the European Commission.
