A comprehensive new video course on prompt engineering promises to transform complete beginners into professionals—without the hefty price tag of corporate certifications.
The course, available for free on YouTube, covers the full spectrum of prompt engineering, from foundational AI concepts to advanced expert strategies. It is designed for working professionals, students, and anyone preparing for a Prompt Engineer job interview.
What the course covers:
- The Science Behind AI: Transformer architecture, large language models (LLMs), tokens, and context windows
- Core Prompting Techniques: Zero-shot, few-shot, and chain-of-thought (CoT) methods to reduce hallucinations and solve complex problems
- Advanced Frameworks: The RCTNO framework (Role, Context, Task, Negative Constraints, Output) for structured prompting
- Expert Strategies: ReAct framework, Tree of Thoughts (ToT), and Directional Stimulus Prompting
- Real-World Applications: Practical use cases across ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, and NotebookLM for data extraction, coding, and image generation
- Future of AI: Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) for providing AI with its own knowledge base
The creator notes that while companies like IBM, Google, and Microsoft offer expensive certifications, this course delivers equivalent content for free. A downloadable prompt engineering guidebook and detailed notes are also available.
