AI Advanced: AI Native Workflows and Apps

AI Advanced: AI Native Workflows and Apps
Eight sessions on building AI systems that run without you.
The top of our AI ladder. Agents, orchestration, knowledge systems, and real building with Claude Code – then the discipline that makes it safe to leave running: testing, supervision and knowing when to pull the plug. For people who’ve already built automations and want to go further. Intermediate-level experience is a genuine prerequisite.
Running for 8 weekly sessions, 3 hours each
Price: £1,785 + VAT
(Team and group bookings available)
Next Start Date: Book now - first cohort starts in November

Who this is for

Who this is for

People who have already built automations and hit the edge of what a single workflow can do. Technical or technical-adjacent, comfortable with logic, happy to break things while learning. You might be the person in your business everyone already comes to about AI – this course is where you go.

Going AI native means the specific tool stops being the point. What matters is your knowledge, your processes and your systems – set up so that AI works across them, with or without you at the keyboard. That’s what these eight weeks build towards.

Intermediate or equivalent experience is a genuine prerequisite, not a suggestion. If you haven’t yet built working multi-step automations, AI Intermediate is the right place – you’ll get far more from Advanced with that under your belt.

What Will You Learn

  • Design and run AI agents – scheduled, triggered, and chained into multi-step orchestrations using n8n
  • Structure your knowledge so AI can actually use it – retrieval, structured notes and skills, the thing that quietly makes everything else work better
  • Build something real with Claude Code across two full sessions – planning, iterating, testing and shipping something others can use
  • Make it robust: testing methodology, failure modes, fallbacks and documentation
  • Supervise systems that act on their own – evaluation, bias and error sources, and knowing when to pull the plug

Format

Eight weekly sessions, delivered remotely in small groups with an expert instructor. The week between sessions is deliberate: you go away, build, and bring back what happened. From session two, each session opens with group coaching on how your takeaway task went.

The eight sessions: advanced automation with AI agents; agents, loops and orchestration; knowledge systems as AI context; building with Claude Code, parts one and two; building robust, testable automations; evaluating and supervising agentic AI; and a final build showcase with your 90-day plan.

Outcomes

This course was built by the team that led the R&D with Skills England to create the UK’s Level 4 AI and Automation Apprenticeship. The agents, orchestrations and Claude Code builds we teach are the kind we run our own business on – including systems that would have needed a team we couldn’t afford to hire.

Eight sessions rather than six because building with Claude Code isn’t one session if you’re building something real, and neither is orchestration done properly.

By the end of the course, you’ll have AI systems doing real work without you – and the oversight in place to trust them.

Individual outcomes

  • Working agents and orchestrations built around your actual role, not demo examples
  • Something real built and shipped with Claude Code
  • The supervision discipline to run autonomous systems safely – because unattended systems nobody checks are worse than no systems at all

Team outcomes

  • Systems that run without a person driving them, with human oversight designed in rather than bolted on
  • Your business knowledge structured so AI can use it across tools, not locked in one person’s head
  • A 90-day plan for what your business automates next, presented and peer-reviewed before you leave

What’s in the course?

Session 1 – Advanced Automation with AI Agents

What an agent actually is, where autonomy is appropriate, and what the eight weeks will produce.

Session 2 – Agents, Loops and Orchestration

Scheduled and triggered agents, multi-step chains, handing work between agents, and orchestration in n8n. Where loops help and where they run away.

Session 3 – Knowledge Systems as AI Context

Structuring knowledge so AI can use it – retrieval, structured notes and skills. The thing that quietly makes everything else work better.

Session 4 – Building with Claude Code, Part 1

Orientation and first real build. Working in a repo, planning work, and iterating with the model rather than dictating to it.

Session 5 – Building with Claude Code, Part 2

Extending the build. Testing, refactoring, connecting to real data and shipping something other people can use.

Session 6 – Building Robust, Testable Automations

Making it survive contact with reality. Testing methodology, failure modes, fallbacks and documentation.

Session 7 – Evaluating and Supervising Agentic AI

Human oversight of systems that act on their own. Evaluation approaches, bias and error sources, and knowing when to pull the plug.

Session 8 – Build Showcase and 90-Day Plan

Present what you built, get peer feedback, and leave with a realistic 90-day plan for what happens next in your business.

One course, two ways in. Book yourself a place, or talk to us about your team.

Learners

Booking for yourself? Eight sessions, £1,785 + VAT. The first cohort starts in November – book now and we’ll confirm your dates and joining details.

Employers

Putting people through at this level? You can book up to 12 places directly with the Book Now button, but a conversation first is worth it here more than anywhere – Advanced has a real prerequisite, and sending someone before they’re ready wastes the ticket. We’ll help you work out who’s ready now, who needs Intermediate first, and whether a closed course fits better.

FAQs

FAQs

What do I need before joining?
Real experience building automations – our AI Intermediate course or the equivalent from your own work. You should be comfortable with conditional logic, triggers and multi-step workflows. This isn’t gatekeeping: the course starts where Intermediate ends, and you’ll struggle without that footing.
Whatever your business already uses on the AI side, plus n8n for orchestration and Claude Code for the build sessions. Everything transfers between tools, but you will need paid plans – the free tiers don’t support the agent and coding features this course is built on. We’ll send exact requirements before you start.
Remote delivery via video call, in small groups. Instructor-led and hands-on, with coaching on your own builds from session two onwards.
Yes, if they meet the prerequisite – book multiple places directly, or talk to us about a closed course on your own dates. If some of your team are ready for Advanced and some aren’t, we’ll help you split the group across the right courses rather than putting everyone through the same one.
Working agents and orchestrations connected to your real work, something genuinely built with Claude Code, and the testing and supervision setup that makes it safe to leave running. Session eight is a showcase: you present what you built, get peer feedback, and leave with a 90-day plan for what your business does next.
