GitHub Copilot Prompt for Creating a Training Program
GitHub Copilot, the AI-powered coding assistant from GitHub, is not limited to code generation. With its contextual understanding and structured text generation capabilities, it becomes a valuable ally for designing comprehensive training programs. Whether you are a learning manager, independent trainer, or HR manager, Copilot can help you structure coherent learning paths, define measurable learning objectives, and create materials tailored to your audience. By leveraging Copilot's integrated chat in VS Code or GitHub.com, you can quickly iterate on your program structure, generate practical exercises, and even produce evaluation grids aligned with targeted skills. The key advantage lies in Copilot's ability to maintain consistency across different modules while adapting to the specific constraints of your context: duration, learner level, teaching modalities. This prompt is designed to fully exploit these capabilities and deliver a structured and actionable training program in minutes.
Paste in your AI
Paste this prompt in ChatGPT, Claude or Gemini and customize the variables in brackets.
Act as a senior instructional designer with 15 years of experience in designing professional training programs. Create a complete training program on the following topic: [TRAINING_TOPIC].
Context:
- Target audience: [BEGINNERS / INTERMEDIATE / EXPERTS]
- Total duration: [NUMBER_OF_DAYS/HOURS]
- Modality: [IN-PERSON / REMOTE / HYBRID]
- Business sector: [SECTOR]
The program must include:
- Catchy title and subtitle for the training
- Learning objectives formulated using Bloom's taxonomy (measurable action verbs)
- Prerequisites required for participants
- Detailed plan with for each module:
- Module title and estimated duration
- Specific objectives of the module
- Key theoretical content
- Practical exercise or scenario
- Expected deliverables from participants
- Teaching methods used (case studies, role plays, workshops, etc.)
- Evaluation grid with criteria and proficiency levels
- Additional resources recommended (books, tools, websites)
- Typical schedule over the total duration
Format the result in structured Markdown with tables for the schedule and evaluation grid.

Why this prompt works
This prompt leverages the expert role (senior instructional designer) to anchor Copilot in a precise professional and pedagogical register. Variables in square brackets allow immediate customization while maintaining a comprehensive structure. The explicit reference to Bloom's taxonomy and the request for concrete deliverables force the model to produce actionable content rather than generic output.
Use Cases
Variants
Expected Output
You will receive a complete training program in Markdown, including between 4 and 8 detailed modules with objectives, content, and exercises. The document will include a tabular schedule ready to be shared, a skills-based evaluation grid, and a list of additional resources — all coherent and directly usable as a working base.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can GitHub Copilot really create a professional-quality training program?
GitHub Copilot, through its chat interface, is capable of generating structured and detailed training programs. However, it should be seen as an accelerator, not a replacement for pedagogical expertise. The generated program provides an excellent starting point that you'll need to refine: check the objectives' consistency with your actual context, adapt exercises to your available resources, and validate the learning progression. The main benefit is the significant time savings on initial structuring, which can go from several days to a few hours of iteration.
How do I adapt the prompt if my training covers several very different skills?
For a cross-functional training covering varied skills, add a section to the prompt explicitly listing the skill blocks with their relative weight. For example: 'The training covers 3 blocks: Block A - Communication (40%), Block B - Project Management (35%), Block C - Digital Tools (25%)'. Then ask Copilot to create modules that progressively integrate these skills with cross-functional exercises. You can also proceed in multiple passes: first generate the overall program, then ask Copilot to detail each block separately.
Can I use Copilot to also generate the training materials associated with the program?
Yes, once the program is validated, you can follow up with complementary prompts to generate materials. For example, ask: 'Based on module 2 of the program above, generate a course handout with key points, a detailed practical exercise with instructions and answer key, and a 10-question quiz for formative assessment.' Copilot can also produce case studies, observation grids for role-playing scenarios, and cheat sheets for participants. Work module by module to maintain the quality and consistency of the generated content.

Pour un résultat plus exploitable, précisez le format de sortie (ex. « 1 page par module ») et les contraintes métier. Astuce : demandez à Copilot de générer d'abord le plan détaillé, validez-le, puis détaillez module par module. Vous obtiendrez une structure plus cohérente et moins générique.
