This final step is about consolidating what you have learned and deciding how you will use prompt engineering in your own projects.
Reflect on your progress
Take 5–10 minutes and write down, in plain text:
- Which kinds of tasks you now feel confident prompting for (content, code, analysis, etc.)\n- Which patterns you find yourself using most often (clear instructions, delimiters, few-shot, chain-of-thought)\n- One or two examples from your own work where better prompts already saved you time or improved quality.
Define your next experiment
Choose one real workflow where you will deliberately apply what you learned over the next week. For example:
- Turning a messy research process into a 3–step prompt chain\n- Standardizing how your team writes bug reports with a shared prompt\n- Creating a personal agent persona you reuse across tools.
Write that down as a short plan. Treat that plan as your 'certificate'—evidence that you can now design and deploy prompts with intention.
Key takeaways
A certificate is only useful if it reflects a real skill you can use. The best proof you completed this course is a workflow in your own life or work that is permanently better because of prompt engineering.
