Our Story: Powering the Professionals

International Association of Prompt Engineering Professionals, IAPEP, was founded in Los Angeles in 2024 when we saw a fundamental shift in the workplace. It wasn't just about a new job title; it was about a new, essential skill. Professionals in every field—from marketing to data science—were beginning to leverage Large Language Models, but they lacked the standards and community to do so effectively. We were created to empower this new wave of AI-savvy professionals and provide the definitive home for the skill that will define the next decade of work.

What Professional Like You Are Saying

“Before I found IAPEP, my AI interactions felt like a constant battle. I'd spend hours re-prompting, hoping to hit on the right combination of words, and still end up with generic or irrelevant outputs. The CPEP course didn't just give me tips; it gave me a systematic framework for communicating with AI. Now, I craft prompts with intent, predict the outcome, and get precisely what I need. My productivity has skyrocketed, and that frustration is gone. I genuinely feel like I'm directing the AI, not just talking at it.”

— Monet Jackson

“I knew AI was crucial for my career trajectory, but without a formal background, it was hard to prove my skills. The CPEP certification changed everything. It gave me the structured knowledge I needed, moving me beyond surface-level understanding to truly mastering the nuances of AI prompting. More importantly, having that IAPEP credential on my LinkedIn profile gave me the confidence to have conversations with recruiters for AI-focused roles I wouldn't have even considered before.”

— Charlie Green

“As someone already using AI tools daily, I was skeptical if a formal course could offer me much beyond what I'd learned through experience. But the CPEP's 'Free Introductory Module' quickly showed me the depth I was missing. The course taught me advanced patterns like Chain-of-Thought and ReAct in a way that clicked instantly.”

— Christina Kim
