Why study this course

Power Automate is a Microsoft application that allows non-technical users to build automations, connect different applications, and drive actions across your organisation. Automation not only saves time and increases efficiency but also improves accuracy by reducing human error. Using Power Automate's vast library of templates, you can easily create automated processes to take care of mundane tasks and free you up to focus on more important opportunities. Imagine how you could boost your productivity by automating approval requests, streamlining simple workflows, and systematically creating actions or tasks!

In this beginner course, students will learn the basics of working with flows in Power Automate, how to navigate the Power Automate environment, basic administration of flows, and how to share flows in various ways to collaborate on flow development or share functionality.

Flows will be created from templates and from scratch, enabling participants to become familiar with the basic components of flows such as connectors, triggers, and actions, as well as how to combine them to develop useful solutions.

Whether you are new to Power Automate or want to take your skills to the next level, our instructor-led Power Automate training will help you make the most of this incredibly useful application. Alongside other Power Platform skills, this course will help you prepare for Microsoft's PL-900 exam and certification.
