Organizations today are under pressure to digitize processes, reduce manual tasks, and improve operational efficiency without relying heavily on traditional software development. Microsoft Power Apps and Power Automate enable business users to build custom applications and automate workflows within Microsoft 365 and beyond.
The Microsoft Power Apps and Power Automate Fundamental Track is a 3-day instructor-led course designed to help professionals design, build, publish, and maintain business apps and automated workflows. This program provides structured, hands-on learning for users who want to optimize existing processes or design new digital solutions.
Participants begin by exploring Power Apps fundamentals, including canvas apps and model-driven apps. They learn how to build apps from existing data sources, customize user interfaces, apply branding, and use formulas to create interactive functionality. The course also covers connecting to multiple data sources such as SharePoint, Excel, Azure SQL, and on-premises systems using gateways.
Key Power Apps capabilities covered include:
Designing responsive forms and controls
Managing data sources and delegation
Embedding apps in Teams and SharePoint
App administration, analytics, and environment management
The training then transitions into Power Automate, focusing on building automated workflows that connect Office 365 services and third-party systems. Participants learn to use templates, create flows from scratch, configure logic using conditions and switches, and manage workflow approvals.
Power Automate modules include:
Workflow design and publishing
Logic controls such as apply-to-each and do-until
Standard and premium connectors
On-premises data integration
Flow administration, analytics, and data policies
The course also introduces Copilot in Power Apps and Power Automate, demonstrating how AI can simplify app and flow creation through guided prompts.
By the end of the course, participants will be able to:
Build functional business apps without traditional coding
Automate repetitive processes across systems
Integrate data from cloud and on-premises environments
Administer and maintain apps and workflows securely
Use Copilot to accelerate app and flow development
