Why study this course

Microsoft's Power Apps is the go-to tool for mobile application development. Described as the “citizen application development platform”, it empowers everyone to solve problems and improve processes in the workplace with custom apps. The point-and-click approach means anyone can successfully make their own app, from the CEO to the factory floor worker, with minimal coding and without the need for an IT developer. Choose from templates and customise, or build your own app from a blank canvas, and simply publish to the web. Compatible with iOS, Android, and Windows. Our Power Apps training courses can help you make the most of this exciting application.

Take your Power Apps skills up a level and delve deeper with this intermediate-level course. Building on foundational knowledge, we'll explore the diverse Power Apps types: Canvas, Model-driven, and Portal apps. We'll teach you how to use canvas components, media and timer controls, how to work with data inside your app, and introduce the seamless integration capabilities with other Power Platform tools such as Power Automate and Power BI.

The course is hands-on and students will work through building out apps and components of apps alongside our trainers.

Integral to this course is the concept of the "citizen developer" - business professionals without formal software training, who leverage platforms like Power Apps to address real-world challenges efficiently.
