Generative AI: Automate and Build More - Skills Bootcamp

This 10‑week, in‑person, government‑funded Skills Bootcamp (partnering with Yeovil College) is designed for confident, technically minded adults who want to build real, scalable business automations that make intelligent use of generative AI.

Across 60 hours of guided, hands‑on learning, you move from solid foundations in Microsoft Power Automate and data‑driven workflows in Microsoft 365 into cross‑platform no/low‑code tools such as Relay.app, Zapier, and n8n, connecting systems with APIs and webhooks and then adding AI safely where it genuinely adds value.

You finish with a working end‑to‑end AI‑enabled process or product demo, a practical integration plan for your organisation, and three hours of 1:1 post‑course implementation support to help turn your new skills into measurable outcomes.

🧠 What Will I Actually Learn?

Over this 10-week Generative AI: Automate and Build More Skills Bootcamp, you’ll explore the next level of intelligent automation and integration. This course builds on the foundation of our Generative AI Skills Bootcamp and is designed for technically minded learners ready to create real, scalable automations that combine AI and workflow design.

The course is 1 day a week, in person, from 9:00am to 3:30pm.

Weeks 1–3: Refresh core AI concepts and the relationship between AI, automation, and human oversight. Start building inside Microsoft Power Automate, then progress to data-driven flows using SharePoint Lists, conditions and branching to create smart approvals. You’ll establish best practices as a safe and effective citizen developer.

Weeks 4–6: Go beyond Microsoft 365 with cross-platform automation using tools such as Relay.app, Zapier and n8n - connecting systems without code. Introduce AI triggers and fundamentals like APIs, webhooks, JSON and Model Context Protocols (MCP). Then flip the direction so automations call AI for summarising, rewriting and generation, exploring temperature, tokens and model choice.

Weeks 7–9: Build bigger, connected systems. Use “vibe coding” to create simple AI-powered web experiences driven by your workflows. Work in teams to design and implement a fully functional AI-enabled process or product demo, tying together data, automation and AI.

Week 10: Demo Day. Present your end-to-end solution, share lessons learned, and translate your build into a practical integration plan — identifying measurable value, reducing repetitive work and outlining next steps.

At the end of the course, you’ll have a solid foundation in automation, a clear understanding of the difference between AI and automations, confidence in what’s possible, how everything fits together, and a personalised action plan for how automation and AI will support the future of your role or business.

⁉️ AI & Automation are not the same thing?

Short answer: no. People often use the terms interchangeably, but they solve different problems.

AI is the “brain”—good at perception, language and judgement, but it can be variable and needs oversight (especially with agentic AI). Automation is the “hands”—prescriptive, consistent and repeatable. In practice, many teams who think they “need AI” actually need well-designed automations first, then add AI where it truly adds value.

This course helps you separate the two, combine them safely, and choose the right tool for each job.
