LinkedIn Build AI Agents and Automate Workflows with n8n

Build AI Agents and Automate Workflows with n8n (LinkedIn Learning): What It Actually Costs and Covers

Last updated: September 15, 2026 · Verified via LinkedIn Learning's own course data and multiple independent pricing sources

This is a 50-minute linkedin Learning course, not a multi-hour program. If you've seen it described elsewhere as 4-5 hours of content, that's inaccurate, we checked linkedin's own listing directly. Here's what it actually covers, how much it costs to access and what to expect.

The gist: "Build AI Agents and Automate Workflows with n8n" is a 50-minute course taught by Morten Rand-Hendriksen, released June 18, 2025, with over 39,000 historical enrollments. It teaches you to build AI agents using n8n, the open-source workflow automation tool, including a hands-on project connecting to Slack and building an MCP (Model Context Protocol) server. There's no standalone price for this course specifically, it's unlocked through a linkedin Learning or linkedin Premium subscription.

Individual subscription pricing is genuinely inconsistent across sources. The annual rate is very consistently reported at $19.99/month ($239.88/year), but the monthly rate varies between $29.99 and $39.99 depending on the source. One recent, detailed source claims linkedin discontinued standalone per-course purchases entirely in 2026. We flag that as reported, not independently confirmed.

The direct answer

How to actually access it

There is no way to buy this specific course on its own. linkedin Learning content is subscription-gated, confirmed directly in LinkedIn's own course data, which lists the offer type simply as "Subscription." To watch it, you need one of the following:

• A LinkedIn Learning or LinkedIn Premium subscription, individual pricing covered below

• Free access through a library card, over 2,700 public libraries in North America provide free linkedin Learning access, per multiple independent sources

• Free access through an employer, many companies provide LinkedIn Learning as a benefit

• The 1-month free trial, if you haven't used one before

If you're specifically searching for a way to "download" this course, per one query in this cluster, that's not an option linkedin offers, the closest equivalent is the course's companion GitHub repository, which contains the actual n8n workflow files and example data used in the course, freely accessible without any subscription at all.

The pricing and a genuine discrepancy worth knowing about

Multiple independent sources agree closely on the annual rate, $239.88/year, working out to $19.99/month, appears consistently across nearly every source we checked, some dated as recently as 40 days before this article was written. That figure is about as well-corroborated as pricing information gets for this platform.

The monthly rate is genuinely inconsistent. Different sources report $29.99, $39.99 and, in one older comment, $26.99, with no clear consensus on which is current. This kind of spread usually means either regional pricing variation, promotional pricing that varies by account, or sources simply citing different snapshots in time.

One specific, detailed claim worth flagging rather than repeating as fact: a recent source states plainly that linkedin discontinued standalone individual course purchases in 2026 and that access now requires a LinkedIn Premium subscription specifically, at $39.99/month or $239.88/year, with no separate "LinkedIn Learning only" plan anymore. Several older sources still describe a $20 to $50 per-course purchase option and a standalone Learning subscription distinct from Premium.

We could not independently confirm which version is currently accurate. If the per-course or standalone-Learning option still exists for you when you check, that would contradict the more recent source; if it doesn't, that confirms it. We've run into this exact kind of subscription-versus-one-time-purchase confusion before, our breakdown of what Iman Gadzhi's courses actually cost untangles a similar situation where two differently-priced products get conflated online.

Practical takeaway: budget for roughly $20 to $40 a month depending on billing cycle and current offer. Verify the exact current structure directly on linkedin before committing, since this is one of the more genuinely unsettled pricing pictures we've researched.

What's actually inside the course

Per LinkedIn's own course data, confirmed directly rather than assumed:

• Building an AI agent that connects to external tools using natural language input

• Creating a sub-workflow to use as a tool within a larger automation

• Using the filter node to modify and control data flow

• Creating an MCP (Model Context Protocol) server directly in n8n and adding tools to it

• Building a Slackbot, including authenticating Slack and adding a Slack trigger

• Running n8n as a cloud app, self-hosted on your own infrastructure, or locally on your computer

A free, official companion resource exists: linkedin Learning publishes the exact n8n workflows and example data used in the course on GitHub, accessible to anyone, no subscription required, useful if you want to see the actual project files before deciding whether to take the course.

How it compares to similar LinkedIn Learning courses

Several closely related courses exist in LinkedIn's catalog, worth knowing about if this specific one isn't the right fit.

If you specifically want a broader, business-oriented introduction rather than a hands-on n8n build, our coverage of Microsoft's Building AI Agents for Beginners on LinkedIn Learning covers a comparable-length alternative from a different provider within the same platform.

If you're evaluating n8n itself against other automation tools rather than deciding between courses, our Make review covers a direct no-code competitor to n8n. Our Akkio tool review covers a no-code machine learning platform if predictive modeling, not workflow automation, is closer to what you're actually trying to build. If you haven't settled on n8n yet, our n8n vs. Zapier comparison for making money in 2026 covers that decision directly, this course assumes you've already chosen n8n, it doesn't make the case for it.

Who this is for

Consider it if: you already have a linkedin Learning or Premium subscription, or qualify for free access through a library or employer and want a short, hands-on introduction to building AI agents specifically in n8n, including a real Slack integration project.

Skip it if: you don't have subscription access and don't want to pay for one just for a 50-minute course, in which case the free companion GitHub repository at least shows you the actual project structure, or you're looking for a longer, more comprehensive treatment, in which case the Tobias Zwingmann course (1h20m) or the Custom Chatbot Creation course (1h31m) cover more ground within the same platform.
