Automation is no longer a technical advantage, it is a business literacy. The organisations pulling ahead are not necessarily the most technical, they are the ones that understand how to think in systems, processes, and flow.
If automation has felt like something just out of reach, this is where it becomes accessible.
“Automation Fundamentals” is a six-hour, in-person course designed to give you a practical foundation in how automation really works, without locking you into any one platform.
Delivered onsite at iAero in Yeovil, the course focuses on the language and methodology of automation rather than surface-level software features. You will learn how automation works beneath the surface, from triggers and actions through to logic, conditions, loops, approvals, and error handling. More importantly, you will learn how to think about your own business processes in a way that makes automation possible.
How the day is structured
Start with a clear model
We begin by grounding everything in real-world context. The Techosaurus Triangle frames the relationship between AI, automation, and the human in the loop, so you leave with a practical mental model rather than abstract theory.
Break automation into modules
We make automation tangible using simple, modular thinking. If you can build with Lego, you can build an automation. The aim is to turn intimidating systems into understandable building blocks.
Apply it to your business
Throughout the day you will work through real examples, identify opportunities inside your own organisation, and learn how to document processes properly using AI and pseudocode so they can actually be built.
What you will learn
Automation logic that makes sense
Triggers, actions, conditions, loops, approvals, and error handling
How automations flow from step to step
How to spot where process design fails before a build even starts
Process thinking for real organisations
How to identify automation opportunities in your own business
How to document workflows clearly enough for implementation
How to use AI and pseudocode to make automation scoping faster and better
A clear view of the tool landscape
You will also get a clear, honest overview of the current automation tooling landscape, including Power Automate, Make, Zapier, n8n, relay.app, and IFTTT. The focus is on when and why you would use each one rather than feature-list comparisons.
Tool-agnostic by design
This course is deliberately structured to help you think well before you buy, build, or commit to a platform.
Confidence before complexity
The aim is not to overwhelm you with ecosystems and licensing models. It is to help you understand what each category of tool is for and where it fits.
Better follow-on decisions
If you want to go deeper into specific platforms later, follow-on courses will cover those in detail. This first step is about getting your thinking right.
Autonosim: safe practice without setup friction
Design and understand automations without needing accounts or subscriptions
A key part of the experience is access to Autonosim, Techosaurus’ own virtual automation builder. It gives you a safe space to design and understand automations without prior experience, paid tools, or technical setup.
This is about building confidence before complexity. You can focus on understanding how automations are structured instead of getting distracted by platform administration.

The organisations that move first are not always the most technical. They are the ones that understand process, flow, and where humans should stay in the loop. This course is designed to give you that foundation properly.
