Detailed course plan and training brief. A complete taught course pack is in preparation. The linked foundation module, where shown, is a smaller available resource.
BEFORE YOU BEGIN
A clear starting point.
Specialist studio; environment and faculty must be confirmed before scheduling
WHAT YOU SHOULD BE ABLE TO DEMONSTRATE
- Explain the assumptions and failure modes in workflow architecture.
- Complete the practical: implement a bounded engineering-assistant workflow with a simulated external-action tool and a required approval step.
- Defend the resulting workflow graph with reproducible evidence.
THE SUBJECTS / FOUR CONNECTED UNITS
What you will study.
UNIT 026 h allocated
Tools and memory

- scoped access
- retention
- failure responses
UNIT 036 h allocated
Control and safety
- Approval checkpoints
- budgets
- injection resistance
- idempotency
UNIT 046 h allocated
Evaluation
- Task completion
- traces
- adversarial cases
- human review
THE TRAINING STUDIO
Make the subject
visible in your work.
Implement a bounded engineering-assistant workflow with a simulated external-action tool and a required approval step.
Evidence to produce
- Workflow graph
- tool contracts
- replayable traces
- red-team cases
Training brief for supervised delivery. Code, datasets, answer keys and environment acceptance must be completed in the full course pack before delivery is confirmed.
ASSESS THE REASONING
A question you
should be able to answer.
Why is a successful demo not proof that an autonomous workflow is reliable?
Review dimensions
Technical correctness · reproducibility · interpretation of results · failure analysis · individual explanation. Course-level rubric and faculty moderation form part of the final adopted teaching pack.
External reference access, hardware, cloud accounts and paid services are separate. No third-party certification is included by implication.
