n8n's own free courses in the order to take them — four courses, 12 to 19 hours, a badge and certificate for each, every link, the catch table, and a 3-week plan

The companion to the reel. n8n wrote its own course and it is free: four n8n Academy courses at learn.n8n.io, each with hands-on exercises, quizzes and a final exam, and a badge plus certificate of completion at a 70% pass mark. ONE — n8n Quickstart (QS101): most learners finish in 3 to 5 hours, and you leave with a working AI agent. TWO — Essentials: Your First Workflows (N8N101): 2 to 4 hours; canvas, nodes, triggers, data and expressions. THREE — Integrations: APIs & Connected Workflows (N8N102): 4 to 6 hours; HTTP Request, OAuth2, pagination, webhooks, credentials, Data Tables — the vocabulary automation job posts use. FOUR — In Practice: AI, Testing & Best Practices (N8N103): 3 to 4 hours; the AI Agent node, debugging, production habits, and the n8n Foundations program badge. PAGE 1 — the four links and how to use the guide. PAGES 2–5 — one page per course: what is inside, how to take it for $0, how the badge is issued, what to skip, and the line to add to your LinkedIn. PAGE 6 — the 3-week plan and the honest catch table (Cloud is a 14-day trial with no card; self-hosting is free indefinitely; the AI sections need a model key). PAGE 7 — where n8n runs, with both self-host commands and the Cloud-trial rule, plus n8n's own YouTube Beginner and Advanced courses. PAGE 8 — what to do after the fourth badge.
