Vibe Coding & Security: ChatGPT, Cursor & TDD

Vibe coding with ChatGPT and Cursor can empower everyday users to build helpful applications, but only if it’s done safely. This course equips product owners, analysts, and developers with practical strategies to use vibe coding tools effectively while protecting data and reducing risk. You’ll learn how to write prompts that avoid exposing PII, apply context-aware prompt engineering, spot and defend against prompt injection, and validate AI-generated outputs. Finally, you’ll see how to hand off reproducible code steps that engineers can trust, turning quick ideas into secure, usable solutions.

Platform Features

For IT leaders

What IT leaders need to know before assigning this course

AI-assisted coding can accelerate delivery, but unmanaged adoption creates inconsistent practices and review risk. IT Directors and Training Managers can assign this beginner course to standardize how teams approach vibe coding with ChatGPT, Cursor, prompt engineering, TDD, and basic web deployment workflows. The realistic time investment is about 6 hours, 21 minutes per learner, making it suitable for an onboarding sprint, enablement week, or pilot group before broader rollout.

This course fits IT Practitioners, junior developers, automation-focused staff, and cross-functional technical roles that need a shared baseline for using AI coding tools without skipping fundamentals. Team Leads should expect some change management: learners move from browser-based experimentation in CodePen and familiar VS Code habits toward more agentic workflows in Cursor, then reinforce quality through test-driven development. CBT Nuggets Playlists can sequence the rollout, and Team Reporting helps leaders track completion across assigned cohorts.

Team Impact

How this training helps your team succeed

IT teams complete this training to make AI-assisted coding more repeatable, reviewable, and useful in everyday development work. The course connects AI concepts, prompt engineering, front-end foundations, Cursor workflows, TDD, and GitHub Pages deployment so teams can practice the full path from idea to working web project.

  • Faster prototyping: Teams practice HTML, CSS, and JavaScript foundations in CodePen before moving work into more advanced tooling.
  • More consistent AI usage: Learners build a shared prompt engineering baseline for working with ChatGPT and coding assistants.
  • Improved code confidence: Agentic coding is paired with test-driven development so teams do not rely on AI output without validation.
  • Clearer deployment workflow: IT Practitioners learn the steps to publish a simple HTML, CSS, and JavaScript website with GitHub Pages.
