Programme Overview

From casual user to skilled orchestrator of AI.

The modern workplace is undergoing a seismic shift. While expectations for output are higher than ever, the capacity to deliver is straining — with 61% of Malaysian leaders stating productivity must increase, while 83% of the workforce reports lacking the time or energy to do their work.

In this high-pressure environment, AI offers a solution — but access alone is not enough.

Knowledge workers must evolve from casual users to skilled orchestrators of AI. This course provides a structured approach to increase the accuracy and relevance of output. By mastering prompting, participants will transform AI from a simple tool into a reliable partner that addresses the productivity gap.

Equip knowledge workers with the knowledge and skills to use AI more effectively — through a structured prompting framework.
Methodology

Highly interactive. Built for the work you do tomorrow.

This half-day workshop is action-oriented — every concept is paired with practice on real work scenarios.

Classroom-style information

Concise input on the RCT framework, iteration, and advanced techniques.

Group work sessions

Collaborative work to compare approaches and outputs.

Hands-on practice

Live prompting against real AI tools — applying the framework as it's taught.

Case studies

Worked examples including prompting reasoning models on real workplace problems.

Participative activities

Interactive exercises that build prompting intuition through iteration.

Draws on own experience

Participants bring real work tasks into the room — and leave with prompts they can reuse.

Learning Outcomes

What participants will be able to do.

At this programme's conclusion, participants should be able to:

Identify the 3 core components of RCT

Recognise Role, Context, and Task — the three pillars of the RCT prompting framework.

Apply the RCT framework

Construct effective AI prompts that consistently produce relevant, high-quality outputs.

Apply the iterative approach

Refine outputs through structured iteration — moving from a first draft to a usable result.

Describe advanced prompting techniques

Understand Few-Shot prompting and how to get the best from reasoning models on complex tasks.

Programme Curriculum

3 modules. Built progressively from insight to action plan.

Each module pairs structured frameworks with reflective discussion and practical activity — so participants leave with usable tools, not just slides to forget.

01
Module One

The RCT Framework

  • What is RCT (Role, Context, Task)
  • How the 'Role' sets the tone and expertise
  • How the 'Context' gives boundaries and prevents generic answers
  • How the 'Task' defines the specific output and format
  • Activity: Identifying the missing components that make a good promptActivity
02
Module Two

Iteration & Advanced Techniques

  • Iterative approach to refine outputs
  • Advanced techniques: Few-Shot Prompting & prompting reasoning models
  • Demonstration of the iterative approach
  • Case study: prompting a reasoning model
  • Hands-on practice: experience the iterative approachActivity
03
Module Three

Final Project

  • Apply the RCT framework and iterative approach to build solutions for real work projectsActivity
  • Presentation and feedbackActivity
  • Q&A
