Participants join cross-functional teams, each placed in one of four industries: Professional Services and Consulting, Banking and Financial Services, Retail and FMCG, or Government and Public Sector.

Each team inherits a set of manual business processes and works on them through the whole course, finding the best candidates for automation, designing the workflows, building them, making them reliable and cutting their running cost.

A short checkpoint at the end of each phase moves the team forward. After the foundations phase, the team reviews its tools and prompts. After the design phase, it selects and maps its priority workflows.

After the build phase, it demonstrates working automations. After the reliability and cost phase, it shows test results and the cost per run. After the business phase, it presents its business case to a mock leadership panel.

Additional case studies from healthcare, energy and telecom help learners from other sectors see themselves in the examples.

Participants work in a structured sandbox with a no-code automation platform, sample business apps and realistic test data.

They automate one recurring business task, such as triaging a shared inbox, extracting data from documents or routing an approval.

They add an AI step or an agent, then test the workflow with normal, tricky and unexpected inputs.

Each workflow is finished with error handling, a human verification step and a token and cost log that shows the cost of every run.

Each learner keeps an automation blueprint with the prompt library, workflow design, test results, cost per run and expected business result.

Frequently asked questions

The Certification in AI Workflow Automation is a practical program that teaches participants how to turn everyday business processes into dependable and cost-controlled automations using no-code platforms.

It focuses on selecting the right workflows, adding AI steps and agents with clear limits, verifying outputs, handling errors, and measuring token costs. Hence, every automation ends with a verified result and a clear business case. The emphasis is on reliability and measurable value rather than one-off experiments.

No, participants do not need coding or any advanced technical skills to complete the Certification in AI Workflow Automation. The program is designed entirely around no-code platforms, so participants build workflows, add AI steps, and configure agents using visual interfaces rather than writing code.

The only requirements are basic AI awareness and two or more years of work experience. This makes the certification accessible to business professionals who want practical automation capability without a programming background.

Yes, the program includes dedicated coverage of prompt engineering and the creation of reusable prompt libraries. Participants learn a practical framework for writing structured prompts that produce reliable, machine-readable outputs such as JSON and fixed fields.

They practise prompt chaining, testing, versioning, and refinement so every AI step in a workflow remains consistent. By the end, each participant builds and validates a tested prompt library ready for use in live automations.

Yes, participants learn how to redesign business workflows with AI as a central part of this course. The training moves beyond theory into practical assessment and redesign of real processes.

Participants evaluate workflows using clear AI-readiness criteria, map current-state gaps, prioritise high-value opportunities, and design integration points. Through hands-on exercises and the capstone project, they leave with concrete redesign plans that improve productivity while staying governed and measurable.

The Certification in AI Workflow Automation is awarded upon successful completion and is designed to meet practical, industry-oriented standards for professional capability.

It focuses on real-world skills in workflow design, reliability, cost control, and measured business value rather than alignment to a single named external framework. Participants demonstrate competence through hands-on building, testing, and a final summative assessment, ensuring the certificate reflects applied readiness that organizations can trust.

Yes, the Certification in AI Workflow Automation places strong emphasis on practical application so participants build real skills rather than only study theory.
