Prompt engineering training for professionals and teams in Colombo. Frameworks, few-shot examples, system prompts, structured output and evaluation — practised on your own work until the results are reliable.
Cocoon's prompt engineering training in Colombo teaches the one skill every AI tool depends on: writing instructions a model can execute reliably. It covers prompt anatomy, the RTF, CO-STAR and chain-of-thought frameworks and when each fails, few-shot prompting with your own examples, system prompts and custom instructions, structured output for tables and JSON, and how to evaluate an answer and catch a hallucination. Delivered on-site at your office in Colombo or online as a half-day, a full day, or inside a four-week cohort.
What’s covered
Eight modules, every one of them exercise-led on work from your own organisation. Half-day formats cover the first four; full days and cohorts cover all eight.
Role, task, context, format, constraints, examples. Why most weak prompts are missing two of the six.
Three frameworks, one exercise each, and the honest answer about when a framework helps and when it just adds words.
Show the model three of your best examples and watch the output match your standard. The fastest route to on-brand work.
Set the rules once. Tone, audience, what to refuse, what to always include. Then stop repeating yourself.
Tables, JSON, checklists, scored rubrics. Getting output your next tool can consume instead of prose you have to re-key.
Critique, refine, regenerate. Asking the model to check its own work, and knowing when to start again.
How to tell a confident wrong answer from a right one. Verification habits that fit in thirty seconds.
Tested, named, organised by task. Built during the session, kept in the tool your team already uses.
Tools used in the session
Who it’s for
The work is right one day and unusable the next. That is a prompt problem, and it is fixable.
One good prompt, used by twelve people, beats twelve people improvising.
Brand voice, structure and format — the things few-shot prompting fixes almost immediately.
Structured extraction, comparison and classification at a volume that manual work cannot reach.
Cocoon is headquartered in Colombo and the majority of its in-person sessions happen here: the BPO and shared-services towers at the World Trade Centre and Orion City, the banks along Galle Road, the agencies in Colombo 3 and 5, the startup community around Hatch and the co-working spaces in Colombo 7. On-site delivery in Colombo means no travel cost, a trainer who knows the local business context, and exercises built on the way work is actually done here — the client in Singapore, the parent company in London, the team in three time zones. Sessions can start within two weeks of a discovery call, and half-day formats fit into a normal working day.
Where we run it
The exercises change with the industry. These are the sectors where Cocoon runs prompt engineering training most often in Colombo.
WTC, Orion City and the Havelock City corridor: daily AI for delivery, QA and client communication.
Head-office teams in analysis, reporting, compliance communication and customer service.
Content, creative and client work at volume, in a fixed voice, across accounts.
Small teams doing the work of large ones; automation and agents pay back fastest here.
Law, accounting and consulting practices in Colombo 2, 3 and 7 with document-heavy workflows.
Universities, schools and training bodies building AI literacy for staff and students.
On-site sessions in Colombo carry no travel charge. Cocoon quotes per workshop, in LKR or USD, and can arrange a venue if your office cannot host a hands-on session. Participants need a laptop and, ideally, accounts on the tools your organisation already uses; Cocoon confirms the setup a week ahead so no session time is lost to logins. Evening and Saturday formats are available for teams that cannot release people during the working week.
