AI Workflow Automation Certification

The AI Workflow Automation Certification is a free 15-minute skill test from Science of Apps. It tests whether you can design reliable AI-powered automations with tools like Zapier, Make, n8n and Power Automate — triggers, steps, error handling, human approval and data safety. Score 70% or more on its 15 questions to earn a verifiable AI Workflow Automation certificate (SOA-AIWA). Every question is based on published standards and research — including Building effective agents (Anthropic), AI automation guide (Zapier), AI Risk Management Framework (NIST) — and each answer is explained with its source.

Read the three skill areas on this page, then take the 15-minute test online — no fee, course or sign-up. You see every answer explained when you finish. Score 70% or more and you get a AI Workflow Automation certificate straight away, on screen, as a PDF and by email, with a credential ID anyone can verify.

Yes. The questions are original scenarios written by Science of Apps, and each one is based on a public source you can read: Building effective agents (Anthropic); AI automation guide (Zapier); AI Risk Management Framework (NIST); Prompt engineering guide (OpenAI); n8n workflow automation (n8n); OWASP Cheat Sheet Series (OWASP). The source is shown under each question and linked in the answer review. Science of Apps doesn't copy questions from other tests.

Three skill areas with five questions each, drawn from a bank of 10 per area so a retake brings new questions: Designing automations (Triggers and actions, Where AI fits and Structured data between steps); Running them safely (Error handling and monitoring, Human-in-the-loop and Data and access control); Integrations and agents (APIs and webhooks, Connectors and MCP and Agentic steps). Every question is an original scenario based on a published standard, official documentation or research, named under the question.
