HOW THE TRAINING WORKS
Learn it. Apply it. Get it reviewed. Improve it.
Every important skill moves through explanation, demonstration, guided use and independent application. Trainer feedback is used to revise the work before it becomes part of the final portfolio.
Concept briefing
The trainer explains the principle, use case, limitations and the quality standard expected.
Live demonstration
A complete task is demonstrated while the trainer explains decisions, checks and common mistakes.
Guided lab
Learners repeat the method with support, ask questions and correct problems during the session.
Applied assignment
The same method is used on a different brief so the learner must make independent decisions.
Review and revision
Work is checked against a rubric, revised after feedback and prepared for project presentation.
PROGRESS IS CHECKED THROUGHClass exercisesModule deliverablesProject reviewsFinal capstone presentation

Before you apply
What is an AI agent in n8n?
It is a workflow component that uses model instructions and approved tools to decide how to complete a bounded task inside an n8n process.
＋What is the difference between an n8n workflow and an AI agent?
A workflow normally follows predefined branches. An agent can choose among approved tools or steps based on context, while still operating within permissions, validation and stopping rules.
＋Do I need to know n8n before joining?
Basic familiarity with n8n workflows, APIs or automation is recommended. Beginners should take the n8n AI Automation course first.
＋Does the course teach RAG?
Yes. You will connect agents to approved documents and knowledge sources using practical retrieval, grounding and vector-database patterns where required.
＋Does the course include agent memory?
Yes. Session memory, persistent memory, user context, conversation state and database-backed state are covered with access boundaries.
＋Can agents connect to CRM and databases?
Yes. Labs cover approved tools, REST APIs, CRM systems, PostgreSQL, Supabase or suitable alternatives, and structured business data.
＋Do I need Python?
No. The main course uses n8n and low-code configuration. You should be comfortable with workflow logic, JSON and API concepts.
＋Does the course cover human approval?
Yes. Approval before action, review queues, escalation, manual override, sensitive-action control and audit trails are core parts of the program.
＋What agent projects will I build?
Options include sales qualification, customer support, research and reporting, recruitment screening, internal knowledge, lead follow-up, CRM update and business operations agents.
＋Should I take n8n AI Automation first?
Yes, if you are new to n8n, APIs or workflow automation. This advanced program gives only a quick review of those foundations.
＋Are classes live or recorded?
Classes are trainer-led in the classroom or live online.Recordings may support revision but do not replace class.
＋Will I receive a certificate?
Yes. Course completion requires attendance, assignments and the final project.
＋Can working professionals join?
Yes. Weekday, weekend and selected fast-track schedules are available.
