You have decided a task is worth automating. This course takes it the rest of the way — from a repetitive job you do by hand to something that runs on its own, tells you when it has stopped, and can be handed to somebody else.

Roughly 75 minutes, self-paced, free. It is tool-agnostic on purpose: the pattern here works whether you build it in a shell script, a no-code automation platform, a spreadsheet macro, or a scheduler on a server. I care about the shape, not the syntax.

You finish by building one real automation of your own and writing up how it fails. Completing the course earns the First Automation badge.

Recommended first: Robot Readiness — it teaches how to choose the task. This course assumes you have chosen one.
