ALIP Prompt Engineering
Issued by
The Swift Group
AI Literacy for Individual Practitioners (ALIP): Prompt Engineering teaches competency in directing LLMs for real analytic work via the RICE framework (Role, Instruction, Context, Example), audience-adapted prose, structured formats (CSV, JSON, HTML, Mermaid), staged prompt pipelines, and AI output validation via a 5-point QC check with defect-severity release calls. This 3-day course (Track 1: 12 lessons, 12 labs, capstone) confers the Certified Prompt Engineering Practitioner designation.

Standards
ALIP final examinations are developed and audited in accordance with the Standards for Educational and Psychological Testing (AERA/APA/NCME): documented alignment of every exam item to instructed material, reviewed cut scores, and post-administration item analysis.
Every exam item is authored and audited against NBME item-writing guidelines (Haladyna): single defensible keys, plausible distractors, and independent flaw sweeps to remove trick, untaught, or cue-laden items.
ALIP courseware and examinations are built to Section 508 and WCAG 2.1 AA accessibility standards, including semantic markup, screen-reader compatibility, and keyboard navigation. Accessible HTML production is also taught as course content.
Structured outputs are graded against open interchange standards: RFC 4180-conformant CSV, syntactically and schema-valid JSON per RFC 8259/ECMA-404, and standards-conformant, accessible HTML per the W3C/WHATWG HTML specification.
