Course Description

This course will get you from zero to hero in BPMN 2.0. I will teach you how to apply all the fundamental BPMN elements with the help of processes from exiting business use cases. 

We will take a look at:

  • An industrial production processes of a private space ship manufacturer

  • The compliance procedures of a holiday visa application to an island

  • A digital transformation process in the health & beauty industry.

  • A process of manual tasks applied as work instruction in the retail industry

  • And many more


Each of these real life scenarios will then be concluded by an exercise that enables you to try out the freshly learned BPMN elements yourself. 

For this we use a free, lightweight and very user friendly BPMN web modeler that also allows you to share your process models.

Of course, before every exercise and practical, real business use case I will introduce you every new BPMN element through a brief theory parts. In these theory parts you will learn about the following BPMN Elements

  • Tasks

  • Sequence Flows

  • Pools & Lanes

  • Exclusive Gateway

  • Parallel Gateway

  • Inclusive Gateway

  • Event Based Gateway

  • Start and End Event

  • Message Event

  • Timer Event

  • Conditional Event

  • Link Event

  • Attached Events

  • Collapsed Pools 

  • Sub Processes 

  • Call Activities 

  • Data Object 

  • Data Store 

All of these elements will the be applied to a practical real business process.

very interesting and clear. Study theory across practical cases, that's what I like in this course. Thanks a lot!

By Valencia Taylor on 7/10/2026

Each concept was presented clearly with examples. Then the student is able to incorporate the concept into an exercise. The instructor clearly outlines pitfalls. Including best practices offers confidence.

Este curso me ayudó a aterrizar BPMN 2.0 y usarlo de forma práctica para entender y dibujar procesos sin enredarme. Aprendí a hacer diagramas claros, a ver mejor cómo fluyen los procesos y a explicarlos fácilmente tanto a gente técnica como de negocio, usando buenas prácticas en casos reales.

By Tomas on 3/19/2026

A very nicely structured course. Gives a clear understanding of various BPMN elements and concepts and explains how to use them. Makes you try them on your own by giving you challenges to solve. Thank you.

By Oscar Manuel Sánchez Franco on 2/16/2026

This is how courses should be: well explained, with simple examples, visual aids, and practice exercises. Now all that's left is to put it into practice in real life and continue researching the topic.

By Freya Cham on 2/8/2026

Course was well-structured. No frills. Great resources too, crismo.io is very user-friendly and does the job well. Thanks so much.

Format is great, short 1-3 minute videos followed by practice problems. Even if you don't have much time at once you can get some progress in before you sit down to do the exercise. Why one star less? Typos everywhere - just makes it feel less professional and more halfhearted, also missing clarifications, eg no need for closing xor gateway if the branches converge on a task before the next element, if closing gateway is used (parallel or exclusive) number of arrows out should be equal to number of arrows into the closing gateway, etc. just basic stuff that threw me off when i was doing some exercises and questioning my sanity because intuitively I really did not need a gateway or in other cases i really needed one. Overall very much worth it, but typos in general and some shortcuts on the diagrams that let him get away with a simpler version that no longer accurately reflected the process (eg combining 2 tasks into one when one of them would have required branching and just implicitly acting like it is always successful together with the 2nd task) made it feel like it was thrown together in a hurry.

Great detailed course with multiple practical cases to learn how to use BPMN. Good resources provided too. Highly recommend it to anyone who wants to learn BPMN.

By Henrique Moreira on 1/8/2026

This course transformed my BPMN 2.0 skills from zero to hero through practical, real-world use cases. I can now design clean, expressive process models using industry-standard elements, thanks!

By Alexander Fitterling on 12/30/2025

This course is quite amazing. It is very comprehensive and highly condensed. The instructor clearly understands the subject matter. The work is sophisticated, successfully reducing complexity into simple and accessible patterns. I particularly like the exercises. They are very effective. Thank you.
