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.

Learn about the advanced capabilities of Power Apps and dive deep into its core components, including the pivotal Common Data Service (CDS). Discover how Power Apps integrates with the Power Platform suite of tools to automate intricate workflows (with Power Automate), and analyse data (using Power BI). You'll deliver a case study solution leveraging the CDS to securely store and manage data that's used by your business applications. You'll set up entities, logic, and validation in CDS and explore building Model-Driven Apps and Portals.

Whether you're aiming to streamline operations, foster collaboration, or unlock new potentials in data analytics, this course will equip you with the knowledge and skills to transform your business aspirations into reality.
