What is the KI & Automatisierung Course?
The KI & Automatisierung Course is an 8-week upskilling course from WBS CODING SCHOOL that teaches you to automate repetitive tasks in your job with AI. It runs fully online, mornings from 9 to 12, and is built for professionals, freelancers, and job seekers.
You need no coding background. Instead of writing code, you work with no-code platforms like n8n and Make, so you can focus on the logic behind a good automation rather than on syntax. The course is taught in German, with a minimum level of B2.
The first half covers the foundations: AI basics, law, and generative models. From the second half on, you build your own workflows week by week, until you have finished automations of your own.
AI automation explained
AI automation combines artificial intelligence with workflows so tasks no longer follow fixed rules alone, but understand context and choose a fitting action. Where traditional automation relies on rigid if-then rules, AI automation can handle unstructured data and respond flexibly.
In concrete terms, that means having incoming emails sorted and answered automatically, turning raw data into weekly reports, or moving information between tools like Notion, Slack, and your CRM. These are exactly the kinds of workflows you rebuild yourself in the course.
Traditional automation vs. AI automation
Traditional automation runs predefined steps the same way every time, always predictable. It fits tasks where you know exactly what should happen, like moving data from one system into another.
AI automation steps in when the input is fuzzy: sorting an email, summarizing a request, pulling the right detail out of free text. In the course you learn to combine both approaches rather than pick one.
Why no-code, and what n8n and Make do
n8n is a no-code platform where you assemble workflows visually and connect them to AI models. Make works in a similar way. Both remove the coding, so you focus on the flow: trigger, steps, conditions, output.

What do you learn in the course?
The course is built as eight modules, and you spend half of them building. What you cover includes:
- Foundations of AI, ethics, and law, including the AI literacy requirements under Article 4 of the EU AI Act
- Generative AI and language models, plus your own custom GPT
- No-code automation with Make and n8n, from first steps to three working workflow prototypes
- AI agents and the Model Context Protocol (MCP), so an agent can act rather than just answer
- Governance, monitoring, and human-in-the-loop, so your automations do not fail quietly in production
- A final project, which most learners choose from their own job
You finish with automations that already run and a portfolio piece you can show. A seat in a ChatGPT Business account is included, so you work with professional tools from day one.

How does the course work?
The course is content-led: you work through hands-on material in a clear daily rhythm. Each day has a check-in session, plus one optional live session per module to go deeper.
Support slots run throughout the day, and you can book one-to-one time with your trainer whenever you need it. Every assignment comes back with personal feedback, and the AI assistant NOVA helps you with exercises and questions. A Slack community lets you connect with other learners and form study groups.
Who is the KI & Automatisierung Course for?
The course is built for anyone who wants to use AI at work without becoming a developer:
- Professionals who want to offload routine tasks and lighten their team’s load
- Freelancers and solo self-employed who want to extend their services with automation
- Job seekers building a future-proof, in-demand profile
You need no prior coding experience. What helps is an interest in technology and a willingness to experiment, and the minimum language level is B2. If you are weighing broad AI foundations against automation depth, our guide to what the KI Kompakt Course is can help you compare.
How is the course funded?
The KI & Automatisierung Course is up to 100% fundable, through different routes depending on your situation:
- Bildungsgutschein from the Agentur für Arbeit or Jobcenter for job seekers, which means you study for 0 euro
- The Qualification Opportunities Act (QCG) for employees, with training during working hours
- KOMPASS funding for solo self-employed professionals

Frequently asked questions
Do I need coding skills for the KI & Automatisierung Course?
You do not need coding skills for the KI & Automatisierung Course. The course works with no-code tools throughout, so you focus on the logic behind an automation rather than on code. What helps is an interest in technology and a willingness to experiment.
What is n8n and why does the course use it?
n8n is a no-code platform for automating workflows visually and connecting them to AI models. The course uses it because you can build your own workflows without any coding knowledge. From module 4 on, you build your first prototypes with it and finish the course with working automations you can take straight into your job.
How much time do I need per day for the course?
For the KI & Automatisierung Course you set aside around 3 hours on weekday mornings, from 9 to 12. The course runs fully online over 8 weeks. The morning schedule makes it straightforward to combine with a job or care responsibilities.
What will the KI & Automatisierung Course do for my career?
The KI & Automatisierung Course helps your career in two ways: you get everyday tasks done faster, and you automate work for yourself and your department. You also cover the AI literacy set out in Article 4 of the EU AI Act, which companies increasingly need in-house.
