# Advanced Designer tutorial

> Tutorial for building your first Advanced Designer Document skill, combining classification, Extraction Rules, and Fast Learning on sick-note documents.

Build your first Document skill in Advanced Designer by following along with this end-to-end tutorial. You'll create a simplified version of the built-in [Sick Note skill](/vantage/documentation/skill-catalog/built-in-skills/sick-note) that extracts data from sick notes issued in Germany, Belgium, and the Netherlands.

These documents vary in structure and content — more than a standard Vantage Document skill can handle. To work around the variation, you'll combine multiple Vantage technologies in Advanced Designer: classify the documents by layout, apply a separate set of Extraction Rules to each class, and then add a Fast Learning activity at the end of the flow to enable continued training.
