ChatGPT Prompt Engineering for Developers
1 hours 4.8(142,000 reviews)Free
DeepLearning.AI's Prompt Engineering for Developers course teaches you to use the ChatGPT API to build practical applications (summarizers, classifiers, question-answering systems, and chatbots) in about 2 hours. It is free on deeplearning.ai and was built with OpenAI. You need basic Python to follow along. This is for developers building AI applications, not for casual users looking for ChatGPT tips.
DeepLearning.AI's courses have been taken by over 6 million learners across its platform and Coursera, according to the company's about page (source: deeplearning.ai/about/).

Frequently Asked Questions
Is DeepLearning.AI's Prompt Engineering course free?
Yes. The course is free on deeplearning.ai with no subscription required. You do not need a Coursera account to access it.
Do I need to know Python to take this course?
Yes. The examples use Python to call the OpenAI API. You need basic Python (variables, functions, loops) to follow the code. Take a Python basics course first if you are not comfortable yet.
How long does this course take?
About 2 hours for the video lectures and exercises. It is a short, focused course rather than a full certification program.
What can I build after taking this course?
You will know how to structure prompts for summarization, classification, inference, transformation, and chatbot dialogue using the ChatGPT API. That gives you the foundation to add AI features to Python applications.
Is this course for beginners or advanced learners?
Intermediate. It assumes basic Python and some familiarity with what large language models are. It is not a deep dive into how models work; it is a practical course on how to use them through an API.

Hugging Face LLM Course
Learn to build and deploy with transformers and large language models in this 12-chapter course from Hugging Face. You'll start with NLP fundamentals, then move into modern LLM techniques: tokenization, fine-tuning, reasoning models, and building shareable demos. By the end, you'll know how to use pre-trained models, customize them on your own data, and integrate them into real applications. Best if you have some Python experience; the course assumes basic familiarity with machine learning. Fair warning: LLM chapters move fast, so budget time for rereading.
