Objectives

What you will be able to do.

  • Understand what a language model can do, what it cannot do, and what it costs per token

  • Choose between a hosted model and an open model according to confidentiality and budget

  • Consume a model API: messages, parameters, streaming, structured outputs

  • Industrialise the call: retries, rate limits, graceful degradation

  • Write prompts at application scale and test them for regressions

  • Demonstrate a prompt injection and put countermeasures in place

  • Build an evaluation set and decide on going live based on figures

Programme

Four modules.

  1. Module 0132 h

    Language models: capabilities, limits, costs

  2. Module 0232 h

    Consuming a model API and industrialising the call

  3. Module 0332 h

    Prompt engineering at application scale

  4. Module 0432 h

    Evaluating a generative system

Who it is for

Who it is aimed at.

  • Learners who can program and call an API — in practice, those who have completed a development block. No prior knowledge of machine learning is required.
Afterwards

Where it leads.

  • AI solutions integrator, augmented application developer, prompt engineer. This is the entry block of the ISA programme.
Method

How it works.

  • Systematic alternation between short theory sessions and practical work, with most of the time spent on practice

  • Progression from simple to complex: each module builds on what was learnt in the previous one

  • Realistic role-plays drawn from Cameroonian business cases

  • Considered use of generative AI as a working tool, in line with the common core

  • Regular formative assessments and a final integrative project drawing on all four modules

Assessment

How you are assessed.

  • Formative assessment at the end of each module (graded role-play and practical exercises)

  • Practical work assessed against competency sheets

  • Final integrative project, presented and defended before the trainer

  • One graded assignment per module in the online course space

Tools

What you work with.

  • Claude, OpenAI or equivalent API, with a controlled budget

  • Ollama or vLLM to run an open model locally

  • A framework for calls and schema validation

  • A tool for tracking prompts and evaluations

  • Dashboard tracking spending per call
