Get Started with AI Prompt Engineering: Scrum Alliance Microcredential
Most live prompt engineering courses rush you through in two hours with a trainer reading someone else's slides. This course runs a full three hours with one of the people who actually wrote the curriculum for Scrum Alliance, plus ongoing support in our Discord long after the session ends.
Description
Get Started with AI Prompt Engineering: Scrum Alliance Microcredential
Live, 3-hour training co-developed by our own trainer for the Scrum Alliance. Learn to write prompts that actually get you useful results, not generic ones.
|
Format: Live online via Zoom, single 3-hour session (longer than most live competitors) Exam: None, certification via full attendance |
Prerequisites: None Class size: Maximum 12 participants |
Whether you use ChatGPT, Copilot, Claude, or Gemini, the quality of your prompts largely decides the quality of what you get back. This microcredential teaches the fundamentals of prompt engineering: how to structure a prompt for consistent results, how to refine one that falls flat, and how to adapt AI tools to your own team’s workflows.
You’ll finish with a working set of prompts built during the session, a recognised Scrum Alliance credential, and the confidence to get useful answers out of AI tools you already have access to.
Two Things You Won’t Get from Other Providers
 |
This isn’t a licensed provider reading someone else’s slides. John Barratt is one of the named subject matter experts credited by Scrum Alliance for developing this exact course. You’re learning prompt engineering from someone who helped write the curriculum, not just deliver it. |
 |
A full 3 hours, not a rushed 2. Most live competitors run this course in 2 to 2.5 hours. We’ve extended it to give the prompting lab proper room to breathe, so you leave with prompts you’ve actually tested, not just watched someone else write. And the learning doesn’t stop when the session ends: every booking includes ongoing access to the Agile Affinity Discord, where you can keep refining your prompts with trainer and peer support long after the course finishes. |

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need any prior AI experience?
No. This course is designed for complete beginners as well as people who have already experimented with tools like ChatGPT, Copilot, Claude, or Gemini and want more reliable results. There are no prerequisites.
Is there an exam?
No. There is no written exam. Your microcredential is awarded on full attendance and participation in the live session.
How is this different from the on-demand version?
The on-demand version is a self-paced, pre-recorded course you complete alone. This is a live, 3-hour session with John Barratt, one of the course’s own co-developers, where you can ask questions in real time and work through the prompting lab as a group rather than on your own.
Do I get any support after the course finishes?
Yes. Every booking includes ongoing access to the Agile Affinity Discord, where you can keep refining your prompts, ask follow-up questions, and get input from John and other course alumni long after the session ends. Prompt engineering is a skill you keep sharpening, not something you finish in one sitting.
How many people will be in the class?
Classes are capped at 12 participants to keep the session interactive and leave room for genuine discussion during the prompting lab.
Are the sessions recorded?
No. The session is fully live and interactive, including hands-on work in the prompting lab. Full attendance is required for certification.
What software do I need?
You’ll need the latest Zoom desktop application (not the web or mobile version), a stable internet connection, and free access to an AI tool such as ChatGPT, Copilot, Claude, or Gemini. A paid account is not required.
What if I need to cancel or reschedule?
We offer a full refund within 14 days of purchase and before the session takes place. If your schedule changes, you can transfer your booking to a future session at no extra cost, just let us know at least 3 working days before the session starts.
Can my employer pay, or can I get an invoice?
Yes. Select “Pay by Bank Transfer” at checkout and an invoice will be generated automatically. Payment must be received before joining instructions are sent. For larger corporate bookings or bespoke requirements, please contact us at talk@agileaffinity.com.

We’re happy to help. Email us at talk@agileaffinity.com and we’ll get back to you quickly.
