Generative AI Essentials - Prompting ChatGPT, Copilot, Gemini (eLearning+Classroom) (EN)

Learn to use Generative AI — ChatGPT, Copilot, Gemini, and Claude — at an advanced level! Get started with AI Prompting, Skills, and AI Agents in your own work environment.

The work environment is changing rapidly due to the rise of Generative AI. But how do you turn this technology from a fun gadget into a strategic advantage?

In Axveco’s Generative AI Essentials blended learning course, you will truly understand and, above all, learn how to apply Large Language Models (LLMs), Generative Pre-Trained Transformers (GPTs), Skills, and AI Agents.

This training goes beyond simply “prompting”; we dive into the logic of LLMs, the art of advanced AI Prompt Engineering, and the essential frameworks of safety and ethics. At your own pace, you will build the expertise needed to take the lead in the AI revolution within your organisation.

We use leading models such as ChatGPT, Copilot, Gemini, Claude, and more. You will mainly work with text prompting and Agents for business use, but image, animation, music, and voice will also be covered.

We have been delivering this programme for four years, and it remains highly popular as an entry point into AI.

This e-learning is intended for a broad professional audience who want an accessible introduction to Generative AI:

-
The Active Knowledge Worker: Whether in marketing, finance, HR, or IT, you seek ways to double your productivity with AI.

-
Curious yet Critical: You don’t settle for superficial answers and want to understand why a model gives a certain output and how to steer it.

-
A Self-Starter: You enjoy learning independently, experimenting in a safe environment (our AI Playground), and immediately applying your knowledge to your daily work.

-
No Technical Background Required: You don’t need to be a programmer; a healthy dose of digital fluency and a drive to innovate are enough.

As this programme is designed as a broadly accessible entry-level course, it is explicitly not limited to IT professionals, but intended for everyone who wants to understand Generative AI in an informed and responsible way.

Upon completion of this blended learning path, you will be able to:

- Demystify the Technology: Clearly understand how LLMs and Transformers work and distinguish between major models (ChatGPT, Copilot, Claude, Gemini) and hosting arrangements.

- Prompt for a desired result: Use techniques (like creating context and specific prompt structures) to achieve high-quality, consistent business results.

- Configure simple AI Agents: Gain practical experience building and testing AI agents with a system instruction in Copilot or within our secure AI Playground.

- Understand Skills and how these are developed

- Navigate Risks & Regulations: Understand and detect hallucination and bias while complying to the standards of the EU AI Act.

- Identify Value: Analyse business processes to determine where GenAI adds the most strategic value.

You will learn to prompt like a professional!

This learning path consists of:

- an eLearning consisting of a series of multi-media micro-learnings

- access to our AI playground in which you build your first AI models and can practice prompting

- quizzes to test your knowledge

- support via our AI 'learning buddy' to experience an Agent helping you

- examples of advanced agents including our EU AI Act Buddy

- One day participation in our classical session in Utrecht with an English speaking trainer

This training is a combination of e-learning and live classroom session.

The training is built around the essential domains that transform you into a fully-fledged AI professional:

- Technological Understanding: Understand how Large Language Models (LLMs) and Transformers work. You will learn the logic behind AI output, so that you not only use the technology, but truly understand it.

- Professional Prompting: Master advanced techniques such as Chain-of-Thought and few-shot prompting. You will learn to design instructions methodically for consistent, high-quality business results.

- Practice in the AI Playground: Take immediate action in a safe environment. You will experiment hands-on with the latest models, configure AI agents, and build working prototypes for your day-to-day practice (Copilot, ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini etc)

- Ethics & Legislation: Navigate the AI landscape safely. You will gain a solid understanding of the EU AI Act, privacy safeguards under the GDPR, and the principles of Trustworthy AI to manage risks such as bias and hallucinations.

- Strategic Impact: Learn to identify promising use cases and translate AI value into your organisation. You will develop a roadmap for successful collaboration between humans and machines.

The Value of the Classroom Session:

- Where e-learning stops, the classroom session begins.

- It offers the unique opportunity to brainstorm with senior experts and peers.

- This interaction ensures cross-pollination

- You learn from others' real-world cases and sharpen your judgment through critical discussions on implementation, governance, and the human side of AI transformation.
