Our AI Prompting Essentials course:
A professional development programme
For investment and finance professionals
At EquityEdge Studio, we bring together expertise in finance, specifically investment management, communications and technology. Our specialised focus with this training programme, led by world-class expert Nurhan Gecgil, PhD, is helping investment professionals harness artificial intelligence (AI) effectively with a specific focus on AI prompting.
We do not offer generic AI training, but instead focus specifically on practical AI prompting techniques for finance and investment management, delivered in convenient modules to fit busy schedules. Our aim is to give participants the confidence to use AI to support research, analysis and content creation at a professional standard. The format is a series of expert-led interactive workshops with live demonstrations, hands-on exercises, real-world case studies and peer collaboration. The programme is anchored in real financial and investment management workflows, examples and compliance requirements.
