Prompt

It's a very young field, but are there any certifications yet in prompt engineering and working with LLMs professionally ?

Output

As of now, prompt engineering and working with Large Language Models (LLMs) like GPT are relatively new and evolving fields. While there aren’t widely recognized industry-standard certifications specifically for prompt engineering yet, there are emerging courses, micro-certifications, and training programs that focus on LLMs, prompt engineering, and related AI applications. Here are some options that might be of interest:

1. OpenAI API and Prompt Engineering Tutorials

  • Description: OpenAI offers extensive documentation and tutorials for working with their API and fine-tuning models like GPT-3. While not a formal certification, gaining proficiency with these tools and showcasing your skills through projects or contributions to the community can be valuable.
  • Why It’s Useful: Learning directly from the creators of GPT models provides you with practical skills in prompt engineering and API usage.

2. DeepLearning.AI’s “Generative AI with Large Language Models” Specialization (Coursera)

  • Description: While this specialization is relatively new, it includes courses focused on generative AI, prompt engineering, and the practical application of LLMs. It’s designed by DeepLearning.AI, a reputable institution in the AI education space.
  • Why It’s Useful: This specialization is one of the closest things to formal training in prompt engineering and LLMs currently available. Completing it can provide a structured learning path with a certification that is recognized in the AI community.
  • Duration: Approximately 3-4 months (4-6 hours per week)
  • Cost: Paid

3. Prompt Engineering Guide by FlowGPT

  • Description: FlowGPT offers a community-driven learning platform with guides and courses specifically focused on prompt engineering. Although not a formal certification, completing these courses and contributing to the community can help you build a portfolio.
  • Why It’s Useful: It’s an excellent way to learn from practitioners and experiment with prompt design, though it's more informal than a structured certification program.

4. Certified NLP Practitioner by Udemy

  • Description: While not solely focused on prompt engineering, this certification covers natural language processing (NLP) techniques that are foundational for understanding and working with LLMs. It includes a section on prompt engineering as part of the course.
  • Why It’s Useful: It’s a recognized certification in the broader NLP field, which is closely related to prompt engineering.
  • Duration: Varies by course (typically 20-30 hours)
  • Cost: Paid (often available at a discount)

5. LangChain & Vector Databases for LLMs (By Patrick Loeber on Udemy)

  • Description: This course covers advanced techniques in working with LLMs, including using tools like LangChain to enhance prompt engineering and leveraging vector databases for storing and querying embeddings.
  • Why It’s Useful: While not a certification per se, completing this course demonstrates a deeper technical understanding of how to work with LLMs professionally.
  • Duration: Approximately 8-10 hours
  • Cost: Paid

6. AI Prompt Engineering Training (AI21 Labs)

  • Description: AI21 Labs, creators of the Jurassic-2 model, offer training materials and community resources that focus on prompt engineering with their LLMs. While they don't yet offer formal certifications, engaging with their platform can help you gain practical experience.
  • Why It’s Useful: AI21 Labs is a leading company in the LLM space, and their training can help you get hands-on experience with advanced prompt engineering techniques.

7. Creating Effective Prompts for Generative AI (by PromptBase)

  • Description: PromptBase, a marketplace for AI prompts, offers guides and tips for creating effective prompts for various AI models. While informal, it provides valuable insights into what works and what doesn't in prompt engineering.
  • Why It’s Useful: Understanding market trends and user needs in AI prompt creation can be highly beneficial for someone looking to specialize in this field.

Conclusion

While there aren’t many formal certifications specifically for prompt engineering yet, the field is rapidly evolving. Completing courses that focus on generative AI, NLP, and working with LLMs can position you well as the industry develops. Engaging with emerging platforms, staying active in AI communities, and demonstrating your skills through projects and contributions will be key to establishing credibility in this young field. As certifications and more formalized training programs emerge, you’ll be well-positioned to take advantage of them.## Extracted Prompts Prompts/Autocapture/Prompt engineering certifications.md#Prompt 1

This page is part of 'LLMs-on-LLMs,' a Github repository by Daniel Rosehill which explores how curious humans can use LLMs to better their understanding of LLMs and AI. However, the information should not be regarded as authoritative and given the fast pace of evolution in LLM technology will eventually become deprecated. This footer was added at 16-Nov-2024.
