Prompt Engineering for Professionals
AI tools like ChatGPT and Claude are becoming standard workplace tools. But most people use them at 20% of their potential because they do not know how to communicate effectively with them.

You will learn to write prompts that produce consistent, useful, professional-grade outputs across writing, analysis, research, and planning tasks.
