Zero-Shot Prompting Certification
Getting a correct first answer with a single instruction and an explicit output contract.
What this certification covers
Zero-Shot Prompting sits in the Prompt Engineering & LLM track (Beginner). You read 3 written modules in order — each one has to be completed before the next opens — then sit a ten-question exam marked on our servers against a fixed answer key. Pass at 80% and the certificate is issued.
