Testimonials

Ksenia Lagunovskaya

I recently took the AI Prompt Engineering course at the Swiss Cyber Institute and found it useful. The mix of theory and practical exercises helped me to learn and apply new skills. The programme materials are clear, supportive, and are available during the course. I highly recommend it to anyone wanting to get better at working with AI.

Marcel Krättli

Insightful and informative. With the knowledge about artificial intelligence, I can now work better and understand the processes better so that I can write better prompts in the future.

Yvonne Eichenberger

If you’ve never had any touchpoints with AI, this course is for you. Even if you no longer consider yourself a beginner, you’ll appreciate the comprehensive outlook of the course. Our lecturers are a wealth of knowledge and will provide you with extensive insights and up-to-date information on what’s happening in this part of the digital universe. (Big thanks to Ayaz)
