Getting more out of ChatGPT, Claude or Copilot starts with better prompting. In this practical course you learn how to steer an AI so that it delivers exactly what you need. You leave with a workbook full of ready-to-use prompts and your own prompt library for your recurring tasks.
A good prompt is the difference between twenty seconds of work and half an hour saved. On this course you learn how large language models interpret your input, and which building blocks you can deploy to get better answers. You practise with all three of the most widely used AI tools: ChatGPT, Claude and Copilot.
You start with the fundamentals. What actually happens when a language model reads your prompt? Why do some formulations work and others don't? You learn the five building blocks (role, context, task, format and examples) and practise refining a prompt systematically rather than by trial and error.
The afternoon covers advanced techniques. Chain-of-thought for step-by-step reasoning on complex questions. Few-shot for consistent output across multiple tasks. You build prompts for writing, summarising, analysing and brainstorming. You also learn where the limits lie: you'll now spot hallucinations, bias and invented sources straight away.
You leave with a workbook full of practical prompts, a template for your own prompt library and a certificate of participation. The course is delivered in the classroom or online, with a maximum of 12 participants per group.
After this course you will know exactly how to get more out of ChatGPT, Claude and Copilot through better prompting. You understand why certain formulations work and others do not, and you have an approach for quickly building and refining new prompts.
Specifically, by the end you will be able to:
Are you already working with ChatGPT, Claude or Copilot and do you feel there is more to be gained? Then this course is for you. You shift the focus from experimenting with individual questions to working systematically with prompts that deliver what you need every time.
The course is intended for:
This course is entirely hands-on. You work along on your own laptop from the very first hour. Short pieces of explanation alternate with practical assignments in which you immediately apply what you have just seen. You practise with your own work tasks, so that by the end of the day you have a set of worked-out prompts that you can use straight away.
You work in a small group of no more than 12 participants, so the trainer has time for your questions. The course can be taken in the classroom or online. You receive a workbook with fifty ready-made prompts, a template for your own prompt library and a checklist for assessing AI output.
You have basic experience with at least one AI tool such as ChatGPT, Claude or Copilot. You know how to open a chat and ask a question. Programming knowledge is not required. It helps if you can bring along a number of recurring work tasks that you use AI for or want to start using it for.
Bring your own laptop and make sure you can log in to the AI tool you use at work. That way you can practise with your own tasks straight away.
Would you like to organise this training for a whole group or several groups? This can be cost-effective. For example, we can tailor the content entirely to your organisation, and training a whole group is also cheaper.
Are you looking at large numbers of participants or a complete academy? That involves a great deal. Consider planning and communication, for example, or identifying and agreeing the objectives and content of the training. Or differences in level, feedback mechanisms and safeguarding. Fortunately, Learnit has extensive experience in this field (more than 25 years) and we are happy to help you through this process.
The training is given in Dutch as standard. The trainer has a good command of English. English-language course material can be used. With a minimum enrolment of 3 participants, the training can also be given entirely in English.
At Learnit you will always find a course that takes you further. From (technical) IT skills to communication or personal leadership. You can also choose the training format that suits you best: a classroom course, a tailor-made course at your own office, an online course or an e-learning. We have the right course and the right format for everyone. Because learning in the way that suits you best delivers the best results.
Personal attention and a pleasant atmosphere. Whether you take a course with us, at your office or on your own PC, we make sure you feel at home enough to push your boundaries.
New opportunities arise when you get moving. Stay sharp. Keep taking new steps. We encourage you to take the plunge and really go for it.
Discover something new. Build on your strengths. And choose your own path. We help you grow with training courses and learning formats that genuinely suit you.
We always think in terms of possibilities and win-win. And every day we work on new solutions for tomorrow. By offering training courses that leave you well prepared for the future.
We don't make empty promises. What we do offer is quality, knowledge and experience. A broad range of courses, made possible by our inspired staff and trainers.
We listen to what matters to you. To what you need. Because that is where our solution, our tailored approach, begins. Understanding each other properly and communicating clearly: that is what we believe in.
Taking a training course at Learnit means learning together. Together with your experienced trainer, together with your course group or together with your colleagues. And whether you take the training at home, at your office or at one of our training locations, we are always available to help you. To share our knowledge with you in a way that is genuinely useful to you. Getting further together through personal attention and understanding each other well; that is what we believe in.
Learning theory from a book that you can then hardly use in your work? Not at Learnit! Whichever training you take with us, you can put it to use at your workplace straight away. Because of the unique learning objectives you set together with the trainer at the start of the training. Because of the alternation between theory and (interactive) practical assignments. And by bringing the challenges you face in your daily work along to the training.

You have basic experience with at least one AI tool such as ChatGPT, Claude or Copilot. You need to be able to open a chat and ask a question. Programming knowledge is not required. It helps if you have a few recurring work tasks to hand that you use AI for or want to start using it for. You'll use these during the exercises.
The course is intended for professionals who already work with ChatGPT, Claude or Copilot and want to get more out of them. Think of communications and marketing staff, HR professionals, IT specialists, consultants, policy officers and team leaders. In short: anyone who uses AI for writing, summarising, analysing or documenting and who wants to make their results more predictable and better.
You learn how large language models interpret your input and which five building blocks (role, context, task, format and examples) make up every strong prompt. You practise with chain-of-thought for complex questions and few-shot prompting for consistent output, and you build prompts for writing, summarising, analysing and brainstorming. You also build your own prompt library and learn to recognise hallucinations, bias and invented sources.
Yes. You can take the course in a classroom on location or online via Microsoft Teams. Both versions have the same content and working methods, and in both cases you work in a small group so the trainer has time for your questions. For teams we also deliver the course in-company, with a programme tailored to your working context if required.
Yes. After taking part in the course you will receive a certificate of participation from Learnit. This shows your employer or client that you have worked purposefully on prompt engineering and have mastered the five building blocks, chain-of-thought and few-shot techniques.
The course is entirely hands-on. From the start you work on your own laptop and practise with your own work tasks. Short blocks of explanation alternate with practical assignments. You take home a workbook with fifty ready-to-use prompts, a template for your own prompt library and a checklist for assessing AI output critically. The group size is a maximum of 12 participants.
Trying things out yourself works up to a point. Many people then get stuck in blind trial and error until something workable comes out. In this course you learn to build and refine prompts systematically, so that you get better output in less time. You also work with concrete techniques (chain-of-thought, few-shot) that are hard to discover by experimenting alone.
Yes. During the course you practise with your own work tasks, so you leave with fully worked-out prompts that you can put to use immediately. The fifty ready-made prompts in the workbook cover common office tasks such as drafting emails, summarising minutes, editing texts and brainstorming. You can also continue to add to your personal prompt library straight after the course.
An introductory course focuses on what AI tools are and what they can do. AI Prompt Engineering goes a step further: you learn how to direct an AI so that it delivers exactly what you need. That makes this course a logical next step if you already work with ChatGPT, Claude or Copilot and want to get consistently better results from it.
Certainly. HR professionals use the techniques from this course for job advertisements, phrasing feedback, preparing appraisals and drafting policy documents. Communication and content specialists use prompts for writing, editing, summarising and brainstorming. Because you practise with your own tasks, the programme ties in directly with the output you produce every day.
You learn where language models consistently go wrong: fabricated sources, plausible-sounding but incorrect facts and biases built into training data. You are given a checklist for systematically assessing AI output on substantiation, source referencing and consistency. You also practise prompt formulations that reduce the likelihood of hallucinations, such as explicitly asking the model to indicate uncertainty.
