n8n training
Workflow automation that survives production
n8n is the open-source backbone of modern automation stacks. In one day you learn to design workflows that don't just run on your laptop but survive in production, with version control, error handling, observability and the right deployment choice.
What you learn
- Workflow architecture: triggers, nodes, sub-workflows and when to use what
- Error handling with error workflows, retries and dead-letter queues
- Queue mode, scaling and the difference between self-hosted and n8n Cloud
- Credentials and secrets management without leaks in logs
- Custom nodes and code nodes in TypeScript for what stock nodes can't do
- Integrations with OpenAI, Anthropic and your own MCP servers for AI steps
- Version control via Git and deploy pipelines to staging and production
Who it's for
- 01Developers and automation engineers who want to run n8n in production
- 02Operations and RevOps teams looking to cut manual work
- 03Consultants and agencies delivering n8n to end clients
Programme
- 09:30
Fundamentals

Scaling and deployment
Queue mode, workers, Docker, Kubernetes and n8n Cloud compared side by side.
- 14:30
AI and custom nodes
LLM steps, vector search, your own code nodes and MCP integrations.
- 16:00
Build sprint
Build your own use case with guidance and code review.

- Sample workflows you can reuse immediately
Prerequisites
- Basic familiarity with HTTP, JSON and REST APIs
- Laptop with Docker or an n8n Cloud account
Frequently asked questions
Is this a beginner course?+
No. We start from fundamentals, but the pace is fast and the second half covers production topics you won't find in the docs.
Do you cover self-hosted n8n?+
Yes. We walk through the tradeoffs between n8n Cloud and self-hosted on Docker or Kubernetes, including queue mode and worker scaling.
What does the training cost?+
Pricing on request. We'll send a tailored quote that includes course materials, recordings and 30 days of async support afterwards. For in-company sessions you pay one flat fee, regardless of headcount up to 12 people.
Where does the training take place?+
By default at our office in Utrecht or in-company at your own location. Fully remote is fine too; we then split the day into two half-day blocks.
Do I receive a certificate?+
Yes. Afterwards you receive a certificate of attendance listing the covered topics and hours, usable for CPD points and internal records.
