AI Automation & Agentic Business Systems

What you'll learn

• Identify and scope a real automation or agent opportunity
• Build it across no-code, low-code and AI-assisted-coding tools as the task demands
• Connect systems with APIs, webhooks and AI models — including RAG and MCP-based tool use
• Run agents safely in production — permissions, human checkpoints, monitoring, cost control

This is for you if

• You want to build things that do real work, not just prompt a chatbot well
• You're comfortable picking up new tools — you don't need to already be a developer
• You want to end with a working system in production, not just a certificate

How it's taught

Every session is live and taught personally by Muyiwa Ogunlade, a Microsoft Certified Trainer. Cohorts are capped so there is room for discussion, code review and direct feedback. Recordings are provided for revision — they are a backup, not the delivery method.

Teaching runs Monday to Thursday, 18:30–21:00, and Saturday mornings 09:30–13:00 (UK time), so the programme fits around a full-time job. West Africa Time runs 0–1 hour ahead, which makes the evening sessions workable from Nigeria as well as the UK. See all the ways to train.
