Course fit

Is this the right automation programme for you?

This is an automation-first programme with practical JavaScript and API work. You do not need advanced coding experience, but you must be prepared to test, troubleshoot and document workflows.

Starting level
Comfort with browser tools, spreadsheets and online accounts.
Coding
Practical JavaScript and API concepts are introduced from the beginning.
Laptop
A Windows 10 or Windows 11 laptop is strongly recommended. Mac users need access to a supported Windows environment for the RPA labs.
Practice
Plan four to eight hours per week outside live classes.
External costs
Model APIs, hosting and some Microsoft automation capabilities may require separate licences or credits.

Three automation environments

Learn the Three Major Forms of Business Automation

Build the judgment to choose between API-led workflows, governed cloud automation and desktop RPA.

n8n and API-led automation
Build flexible workflows with APIs, webhooks, databases, JavaScript, AI models, agents and self-hosted infrastructure.
Microsoft Power Automate Cloud
Automate processes across Outlook, Teams, SharePoint, OneDrive, Excel, Forms and other business applications using governed cloud flows.
Power Automate for desktop and RPA
Automate repetitive tasks performed inside browsers, spreadsheets, Windows applications and legacy systems when a suitable API is unavailable.

Learn how to select the right approach instead of forcing every process into the same automation platform.
