CeADAR, Ireland’s national centre for applied AI, is offering a new fully funded course, Prompt Engineering for You, to help professionals develop practical AI prompt engineering skills. Developed by CeADAR’s European Digital Innovation Hub (EDIH), the programme aims to teach professionals to use generative AI tools effectively, safely and responsibly in real-world settings. Funded by the European Commission and Enterprise Ireland, and aligning with the Department of Enterprise, Tourism and Employment’s ‘AI – Good for Business’ initiative, the course includes five modules covering what prompt engineering is, relevant techniques, and how to design clear and effective prompts. It is flexible, aimed at professionals at any stage of their AI journey, and does not require a technical or coding background. Participants will receive a certificate of completion from CeADAR’s EDIH for AI programme. CeADAR’s director of innovation, development and EDIH for AI, Ricardo Simon Carbajo, said the goal is to cut through AI noise and help organisations navigate adoption. The announcement coincided with the European Commission’s ‘2026 Digital Decade Country Report for Ireland’, which ranked Ireland second in the EU for basic digital skills, with 83pc of the population possessing at least basic digital skills, compared with an EU average of 60pc. The report also ranked Ireland fifth in the EU for generative AI adoption, at 45pc, above the EU average of 33pc. Minister for Enterprise, Tourism and Employment
