What you will build, day by day

Every day you automate a new "department" of the same fictional online school, BrightPath, so everything adds up into one connected system. Mornings are "watch and build together" - the instructor builds a working example live while you build alongside. Afternoons are "build it yourself" - you get a business task and build your own version, with the instructor helping one-on-one. Tasks come in three levels (🟢 Core, 🔵 Plus, 🟣 Challenge) so no one gets left behind or bored.

  1. AI Agents & n8n Basics - workflows, triggers, actions
  2. Data Layer - the shared database & action log
  3. Tool-Using Agents - tool calling & structured output
  4. Human-in-the-Loop - safe actions & approvals
  5. RAG - knowledge base & vector memory
  6. Advanced RAG - sources, freshness & governance
  7. Data Intake & Validation - cleaning & extraction
  8. Proactive Agents - scheduled checks & pattern detection
  9. Anomaly Detection - business alerts
  10. Sensitive Data - privacy & safe patterns
  11. AI CEO Office - KPIs & reporting
  12. AI Sales Department - qualification & pipeline
  13. Proposal Writer + QA Agent - second-agent review
  14. AI Marketing Department - competitor watch & insights
  15. AI Operations Department - SLA, SOPs & process control
  16. AI HR Department - CV parsing & onboarding
  17. Multi-Agent Orchestration - routing & event-driven system
  18. QA & Safety Layer - fact, format & risk checks
  19. Production Readiness - reliability, cost & final build

International students

You are welcome!

A lot of our students are coming from abroad. The course is in English so there is no language barrier.

Scholarships

If you fall into one of these categories your tuition would be reduced by 500€

Students over 40: because we know it’s harder to commit to learning at a certain age and we are willing to help.

Women in tech: we're proud to say that 45% of our graduates are women, and we're committed to achieving full gender equality. This is especially significant given that less than 9% of women work in tech, according to this StackOverflow industry survey.

Barcelona Code School students

Your day on the course

Each day is structured for fast, hands-on learning. In the morning you watch and build together - the instructor builds a working automation live, thinking out loud about every decision, while you build the same thing with check-in pauses.

After lunch you build it yourself - you get a business task and build your own version independently while the instructor comes over to help one-on-one.

Your independence grows over the course: lots of joint work at the start, and by the end you build almost everything yourself.
