Microsoft Power Platform Developer (PL-400) Training Course

This instructor-led, live training in Nigeria (online or onsite) is aimed at business analysts who wish to automate workflows and tasks with Microsoft Flow/Power Automate.

By the end of this training, participants will be able to:

• Create business applications without needing any developer experience.
• Manage and analyze flows for business solutions.
• Create flows, define triggers, add actions, and set conditions.

This instructor-led, live training in Nigeria (online or on-site) is designed for business personnel, managers, developers, and data analysts who aim to adapt, implement, integrate, and manage Microsoft Power Platform components and features within their organizations.

Upon completion of this training, participants will be able to:

• Develop simple applications using Power Apps to create custom solutions tailored to everyday business requirements.
• Automate workflow processes through Power Automate (previously known as Microsoft Flow) to reduce manual and repetitive tasks.
• Produce data reports and dashboards with Power BI to deliver insightful analytics for the business.
• Construct chatbots using Power Virtual Agents to automate and address common customer inquiries and issues.

This course provides a foundational understanding of the core concepts behind Power Virtual Agents, Power Automate, and Power Apps, with a high-level introduction to Power BI. The curriculum is centred on a practical workflow inspired by a manual process I previously managed for an employer. We will build a Power App using Microsoft Power Apps to track construction tasks for new homes (with data stored on SharePoint for simplicity). We will then leverage Power Virtual Agents to demonstrate how to enable bots within Microsoft Teams to guide users to documents scattered across various SharePoint sites, such as loan documents, budgets, and sales contracts. These bots are particularly valuable for HR and IT teams in managing repetitive queries. I will also show you how to configure simple flows in Power Automate to archive attachments from specific senders (in our scenario, bank inspection reports) and to save data from Microsoft Forms to SharePoint. Additionally, we will establish fully automated approval processes using the Approvals app within Microsoft Teams. Upon completing the app, bot, and flow, the final phase involves creating a straightforward Power BI report. We will use Power Automate to send a snapshot of the table containing the latest completed tasks every two weeks to a designated recipient (the bank in this example), requesting a drawdown with the completion dates and budget figures for those tasks (all collected via the app). Please note that this course maintains a high-level perspective. I recommend all learners use ChatGPT for more technical aspects, such as coding or formulas in Power Apps. However, the course covers this by demonstrating how to effectively use ChatGPT to assist with Power Apps formulas.

This live, instructor-led training in Nigeria guides users from beginner to intermediate levels in mastering the Microsoft Power Platform. Participants will engage in building custom apps, automating workflows, and applying governance best practices through Power Apps and Power Automate within a hands-on lab setting.

Participants in this course harness Microsoft Power Automate to automate tedious and repetitive tasks. They assess solution requirements, develop process documentation, and design, build, troubleshoot, and evaluate solutions. These professionals collaborate with business stakeholders to enhance and automate workflows. They partner with administrators to deploy solutions into production environments and provide ongoing support for these solutions.

A Solution Architect plays a pivotal role in ensuring the successful design, implementation, deployment, and adoption of a comprehensive solution. They guarantee that the solution effectively addresses the customer’s immediate and future requirements. Through this course, participants will gain insights into the critical decisions made by a Solution Architect during implementation, including security protocols, integration strategies, Power Apps architecture, Power Automate architecture, and more. The course serves as an introductory guide to the Solution Architect role.

This instructor-led, live training in Nigeria (online or onsite) is aimed at intermediate-level IT professionals who wish to use Power Platform to effectively automate processes and enhance data insights.

By the end of this training, participants will be able to:

• Develop and customize applications using Power Apps.
• Manage and analyze data with DataVerse and Power BI.
• Automate complex processes with Power Automate.
