GeminiWe build n8n workflows for real clients, not just in theory.
Most n8n trainings are run by people who followed a tutorial the night before. At Hack'celeration it's the opposite: multi-node workflows, AI agents wired into LangChain, the HTTP Request node against finicky APIs, self-hosted instances, that's our daily agency work. Everything we teach you, we practice on shipped projects. We know the traps (the AI agent that loops, the mapping that breaks on an empty item, the rate limit that blocks the HTTP node) because we've already solved them.
- We build n8n workflows for real clients every week, not just in theory
- 1-on-1 format: the trainer adapts to your level, beginner or seasoned dev
- We tell you when n8n isn't the right call (sometimes a plain cron or Make is enough)
- We start from your real instance and your actual processes, not a dummy example
Four pillars so your workflows run and reason.
A badly handled n8n means workflows that break, unreadable mapping, AI agents that loop. Most of the trouble comes from the onboarding, not the tool. We pick up your real instance and work through the four pillars together.
- Workflows and triggers
Your processes run on their own, hands off
We start with solid foundations: the canvas, the nodes, wiring actions together. We set up your triggers (webhook, cron, polling, app trigger like a new email or an Airtable row) to fire at the right moment. You learn to handle errors with the Error Trigger and to retry what fails. A clean workflow is a process that runs without you touching it.
Build my workflows - Data and expressions
You shape the data, not just copy it
The heart of n8n is mapping. You learn to read a node's JSON structure, reference a field with expressions ($json, $node), transform with the Set node, filter, merge and loop over items. And when a service has no dedicated node, we go after the HTTP Request node: auth, headers, pagination, handling rate limits.
See data mapping - AI agents and code
Agents that reason, not just an API call
Since n8n integrated the LangChain nodes in 2024, you build real agents: an AI Agent with its memory, its tools (another workflow, a search, a calculation), wired to OpenAI, Claude or a local model through Ollama. We also cover the Code node (JavaScript or Python) for logic the nodes don't cover. RAG, vector store, chat trigger: we build a full case.
See AI agents - Self-hosting and API
You host n8n and keep your data
n8n is source-available and self-hostable: we install it through Docker, manage environment variables, encrypted credentials and updates. We cover worker mode to scale, and the n8n REST API to drive your workflows from outside. You also compare self-host with n8n Cloud to choose based on your volume and constraints.
Talk self-hosting
Meet our trainers, leave with a plan.
Drop your email. We get back to you to connect you with a Hack'celeration-certified trainer: we look at your n8n instance, spot the processes worth automating first, and tell you where to start. No commitment, even if you don't take the training.
- A diagnosis of your processes (what pays off most to automate)
- The first workflows to build, in priority order
- The right 1-on-1 format for your level and your goals
- An honest take: n8n, Make or a plain cron for your case
Your n8n program, step by step.
Five steps, no skipping. Each one on your real instance, with a clear deliverable. From the first session we build a workflow that actually serves you. By the end, you run your workflows, your agents and your hosting without us.
- Step 1 · Needs audit
We open your real n8n and spot what to automate
First session, we share your screen and look at your processes together. Which tasks do you repeat by hand? Which tools do you want to connect (CRM, Airtable, Slack, your app)? Are you on n8n Cloud or do you want to self-host? We list the workflows that will save you the most time, and review your existing workflows if you already have some. You leave with a clear automation plan, in priority order. No theory, your real instance.
- Step 2 · Workflows and data
Nodes, triggers and mapping on your real cases
We go after the heart of n8n. We build a first end-to-end workflow: trigger (webhook or cron), a chain of nodes, then the mapping. This is where you learn to read JSON, reference a field with expressions, transform with Set, filter and loop. We handle errors with the Error Trigger so nothing breaks silently. By the end, you can read and debug a workflow's execution line by line.
- Step 3 · API and integrations
The HTTP Request node to wire up anything
Not every service has a dedicated node in n8n. You learn the HTTP Request node: structuring a request, handling auth (API key, OAuth2, bearer token), headers, pagination and rate limits. We connect a service with no official node, parse the JSON response and feed it back into the workflow. You practice on a real API from your stack, not a dummy example. You finish able to wire just about anything to n8n.
- Step 4 · AI agents and code
We build an AI agent with the LangChain nodes
This is where n8n gets powerful. We build an AI Agent with its memory and its tools, wired to OpenAI, Claude or a local model through Ollama. We cover RAG with a vector store to answer over your own documents, and the Chat Trigger for a real conversation. For logic the nodes don't cover, we go after the Code node (JavaScript or Python). You leave with an agent that reasons on your cases, not a demo.
- Step 5 · Self-hosting and autonomy
You host n8n and stay in control without us
The number one goal: you become autonomous. We install n8n self-hosted through Docker, manage environment variables, encrypted credentials and updates. We cover worker mode to scale and the n8n REST API to drive it from outside. By the end, you build a workflow, wire up an API, build an agent and host your instance without an agency. And if you want to delegate later, we also run an n8n agency, but that's not the point here.
Why train 1-on-1 with us.
- 300+Pros already trained on automation
More than 300 people have gone through our trainings across France and Europe. Ops teams, devs, small-business founders. Not vanity numbers: people who replaced their manual tasks with n8n workflows that run on their own.
- 4.7/5Rating across 334 verified reviews
Average rating of 4.7 out of 5, across 334 reviews. We won't pretend it's all easy: a poorly scoped AI agent loops, and mapping takes rigor. But the 1-on-1 format makes the difference on a tool as deep as n8n.
- 1:1A dedicated expert, not a class of 100
You're not a number in a webinar. A trainer opens your real n8n instance, looks at your workflows, and works through your actual cases. We schedule sessions around your availability, replays included.

The questions we get the most.
What is a 1-on-1 n8n training?
An individual program with an n8n expert, not a class of 100 people. We open your real instance, look at your workflows, and work through your actual cases: nodes, triggers, mapping, API, AI agents. You ask your questions live, the trainer adapts the pace to your level. We schedule sessions around your availability, and you leave with concrete workflows every time. That's what makes the difference on a tool as deep as n8n, where the learning curve discourages people in a mass class.How much does the n8n training cost?
There is no single price. We connect you with a trainer certified by Hack'celeration, matched to your need and your level. It varies from one trainer to another, based on their profile and the format that fits your project.n8n or Make: which one to pick?
It depends on your need. n8n is source-available and self-hostable: you keep your data, there's no per-operation cost, and the Code node lets you write JavaScript or Python when the nodes aren't enough. Make is more visual and simpler to start with, but bills per task and stays in the cloud. If you want to self-host, control your data and do advanced AI, go n8n. If you want quick no-code with no server, Make. During the training, we help you decide based on your real case.Can you build AI agents with n8n?
Yes, and it's one of the big parts of the training. Since the LangChain nodes were integrated in 2024, n8n builds real agents: an AI Agent with its memory, its tools (another workflow, a web search, a calculation), wired to OpenAI, Claude, Gemini or a local model through Ollama. We also cover RAG with a vector store to answer over your own documents, and the Chat Trigger for a conversation. We build a full case together, not a demo.Do I need to code to take the n8n training?
No, not necessarily. n8n is visual first: most workflows are built by wiring nodes, without a line of code. To go further, the Code node (JavaScript or Python) and expressions help, but the 1-on-1 format is built exactly for that: we start from your exact level. Beginner, we walk through the canvas and mapping step by step. Seasoned dev, we jump straight to the Code node, the REST API and self-hosting.Can you self-host n8n?
Yes, and it's one of its big strengths. n8n is source-available and installs self-hosted through Docker in a few minutes. You keep your data on your own infrastructure, with no per-operation cost, which changes everything if you run thousands of executions. In training, we install your instance, manage environment variables, encrypted credentials, updates and worker mode to scale. We also compare it with n8n Cloud so you choose based on your volume and constraints.How does the HTTP Request node work in n8n?
It's the node that lets you wire up any service, even with no dedicated node. We structure a request (GET, POST, etc.), handle authentication (API key, OAuth2, bearer token), headers and body. The part that often trips people: pagination and rate limits, which we learn to handle cleanly so you don't get blocked. Once the JSON response comes back, we parse it and feed it into the workflow. It's the key to connecting just about anything to n8n.Does n8n have an API to drive workflows?
Yes. n8n exposes a REST API that lets you list, trigger and manage your workflows from outside, plus webhooks to receive events in real time. It's useful to embed n8n in an app, trigger a workflow from your own code, or orchestrate several instances. In training, we cover how to generate an API key, secure access and call the API from another service. We often combine the API and webhooks for two-way integrations.How long until I'm autonomous on n8n?
It depends on your starting level and your cases. The basics (canvas, nodes, triggers, first workflow) come within a few sessions. Mapping and expressions take practice on your real data, count a bit more. AI agents and self-hosting are the deepest topics. We prioritize your concrete cases from the first session so you ship fast. There's no magic button, but 1-on-1 avoids the weeks lost digging through the docs alone.Is the training online or in person?
100% online, over video, 1-on-1. You join the sessions from anywhere, we share your screen and your n8n instance live. Sessions are recorded if you want to revisit them. The individual format means real interaction: you're not a number in a webinar of 100, the trainer answers your questions about your setup and your workflows. That's what makes learning concrete on a tool as deep as n8n.
