What's inside your school
6 modules · 21 lessons
AI Automation Foundations & Self-Assessment
Establishes a shared understanding of what AI automation truly means in a business context, calibrates each learner's starting point, and orients them within the broader AI tool ecosystem. This prerequisite module ensures no student advances without the conceptual grounding and self-awareness needed for personalised learning throughout the program.
- 1.1What AI Automation Actually Is (and Isn't)Included
- 1.2Know Your Starting Point: Business & Skills Self-AssessmentIncluded
- 1.3The AI Automation Toolscape: Platforms, Players & PricingIncluded
- 1.4Ethics, Risk & Responsible AI AutomationIncluded
Workflow Mapping & Automation Opportunity Auditing
Teaches the structured analytical skills needed to map current business processes, identify which tasks are genuinely automatable, estimate their value, and translate findings into a clear blueprint — all before touching any tool. This module is the analytical backbone of the entire program and directly enables the target outcome of auditing workflows to pinpoint high-value opportunities.
- 2.1Process Mapping Fundamentals for Non-Technical ProfessionalsIncluded
- 2.2The Automation Opportunity Audit: Finding High-Value TargetsIncluded
- 2.3Designing Automation Blueprints Before You BuildIncluded
Building Core Business Automations: No-Code to AI-Powered
The hands-on build module where students move from blueprints to working automations across four high-value business domains. Each lesson follows a consistent build-test-refine cycle using no-code and low-code platforms, with AI model integration introduced progressively. Students leave with at least one live automation relevant to their own business context.
- 3.1No-Code & Low-Code Platform FundamentalsIncluded
- 3.2Automating Lead Generation & CRM WorkflowsIncluded
- 3.3Automating Customer Service with AIIncluded
- 3.4Automating Reporting & Data WorkflowsIncluded
- 3.5Automating Content Production PipelinesIncluded
Designing Your Personal AI Automation Roadmap
Shifts from individual automation builds to strategic thinking: how to sequence, prioritise, budget, and govern an organisation-wide (or client-wide) AI automation programme. Students produce their own draft Roadmap document — the core deliverable of the entire certification — and stress-test it for real-world feasibility.
- 4.1Roadmap Architecture: Phases, Priorities & DependenciesIncluded
- 4.2Budgeting, Tool Stack Selection & Build-vs-Buy DecisionsIncluded
- 4.3Change Management: Preparing Your Team or Clients for AI AutomationIncluded
Measuring ROI, Auditing Performance & Iterating
Ensures students can prove the value of their automations with data, maintain quality over time, and make evidence-based decisions about scaling, modifying, or retiring each automation. Directly delivers the target outcome on ROI measurement and KPI frameworks, and introduces the operational discipline needed for long-term automation health.
- 5.1Defining KPIs and Success Metrics Before You LaunchIncluded
- 5.2Building Audit Frameworks for Live AutomationsIncluded
- 5.3Iterating, Scaling & Retiring AutomationsIncluded
Presenting, Selling & Certifying Your AI Automation Strategy
Prepares students to communicate the value of AI automation persuasively to any audience — internal leaders, clients, or prospects — and to package their skills as a professional service offering. The module culminates in the Certification Capstone, where each student delivers a complete, business-ready AI Automation Roadmap and presentation, demonstrating mastery of all program outcomes.
- 6.1Communicating AI Automation to Non-Technical StakeholdersIncluded
- 6.2Selling AI Automation Services as a Consultant or FreelancerIncluded
- 6.3Certification Capstone: Your AI Automation RoadmapIncluded

David
If you're reading this, you're probably somewhere between genuinely curious about AI automation and quietly anxious that you're already falling behind. Maybe you've watched a few demos, maybe you've even tried a tool or two — and you still don't have a clear picture of how any of this translates into your actual business. That's not a knowledge problem. That's a framework problem. And that's exactly what this program solves.
I built AI Automation Academy for the professionals I kept meeting who were sharp, experienced, and completely underserved by what was out there. The courses they found were either too technical (built for developers), too shallow (a 90-minute "intro to ChatGPT" with no real application), or too generic to map onto a real business with real constraints. What was missing was a structured, professional-grade program that treated you like the experienced operator you already are — and taught you to think like an AI automation strategist, not just a tool user.
What you'll get inside this program is a complete operating methodology: how to audit your workflows before you touch a single platform, how to design automation blueprints that actually match your business model and budget, how to build the automations that move the needle first, and how to measure whether they're working. We don't skip the hard parts. We cover change management, because deploying automation inside a team or to a client is as much a people challenge as a technical one. We cover ROI frameworks, because "it saves time" is not a strategy. And we cover how to present and sell these strategies, because the best automation in the world goes nowhere if leadership doesn't buy in.
The Capstone isn't a quiz. It's a real AI Automation Roadmap — built around your business or a client's — that you can walk out the door and use. That's the standard I hold this program to: not that you understand AI automation, but that you can do something with it the week you finish.
I respect your time too much for theory without traction. Every module is built around real business scenarios, real tool decisions, and real outcomes. Come in curious. Leave certified and ready to execute.
You're closer than you think. Let's build something that actually works.
