Course Description
Generative AI: Prompting Foundations is a beginner-level course that teaches you how to craft effective prompts to get better results from AI tools like ChatGPT, Gemini, and CoPilot. Prompting is the foundation of using AI well—if your prompts are weak, your outputs will be too. This course shows you exactly how to write strong prompts with clarity, context, and specificity to unlock better performance from AI.
You’ll begin by learning what prompting is and why it matters. You’ll explore the difference between weak and strong prompts and see how prompt structure impacts results. Then, you’ll learn the true goal of prompting and how to approach it with the right expectations for human vs. AI input.

Next, you’ll build practical skills to improve your prompts. Learn how to write with clarity and specificity to eliminate vague or open-ended wording that leads to weak responses.

You’ll also explore how AI memory affects prompts and results, including how to check, customize, and work with memory to improve consistency. Finally, discover how to use AI to help you build stronger prompts. You’ll learn how to ask AI to co-create prompts with you, giving you more control over the detail, structure, and quality of your outputs.

This was the best training I’ve been to in a long time. The material was well presented and relevant. I look forward to putting the things I learned into practice!

Exceptional learning experiences. I have taken several Boot Camp Digital workshops, and the SEO Certification course. I have found all of them valuable to broaden my understanding of digital marketing and Artificial Intelligence (AI). In particular, I like that there are reference materials, as well as additional on-screen text highlights because they help reinforce what I saw and heard in the videos. As reinforcement, I have even created a folder of some of the quick reference materials for easy review on demand.

The plethora of information received from this course truly covered all aspects of social media. From the moment I started the course, I was able to start building out and implementing a plan for the company I work for immediately. I highly recommend this course to anyone that deals with social media. The content is comprehensive, well presented, and will guide you through making a solid strategy!

Just completed Boot Camp Digital’s online training, and I am stunned not only by the sheer amount of resources, but how much information they were able to squeeze in! Even though there was a lot to digest, the delivery made the content easy to absorb. The additional downloads alone are worth the price.

Loved this course! Very informative and easy to follow! This course was a game changer for me and my business.

Boot Camp Digital is very professional and knowledgeable. I learned more in 90 mins than I have in months of doing research on my own. I will recommend Boot Camp Digital to anyone looking to learn about digital marketing for sure!

I took the social media marketing and digital marketing certifications. The courses were the best I’ve ever took. I have 38 certifications in all, but I loved these. Just the context and breadth alone is amazing. They put a lot of effort in to make these courses. I recommend taking them instead of going to college to learn from someone that has never done it.
