Accelerated Power Apps

Build Intelligent Business Apps in 3 Days

Introduction

Why this course

In just three immersive days, this course will equip you to design, build, and deploy business-ready applications using Microsoft Power Apps. Your instructor brings over 30 years of industry-heavy experience, presenting not an academic overview but real-world workflows, architecture choices, best practices, and business-driven outcomes. You’ll work with the latest features (2025-era capabilities such as AI-assistants, modern responsive design, offline support) and progress from requirement capture through prototyping to a capstone app you’ll deliver by the end of the third day. This is about building value, not just ticking boxes.

Learning outcomes

Learning outcomes

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

  • Translate business requirements into app specifications, data structures and user journeys.
  • Connect to a variety of data sources (Microsoft Dataverse, SharePoint, SQL, Excel, cloud services) and prepare them for Power Apps.
  • Build responsive canvas and model-driven apps using Power Apps, applying proper UX, controls, navigation and logic.
  • Use the low-code language Power Fx to implement business rules, validations, and dynamic behaviour.
  • Leverage new 2025 features of Power Apps including AI-assisted development, offline capability, modern controls and governance tools.
  • Deploy, share, secure and manage Power Apps including access control, environment setup and performance monitoring.
  • Build a complete app workflow from requirement to delivered solution (capstone) tailored to a business scenario.
Prerequisites

Prerequisites

Participants should have:

  • A basic familiarity with business processes (sales, operations, service) and data concepts (tables, fields, relationships).
  • Experience using Microsoft 365 tools (Excel, Teams, SharePoint) will help but isn’t mandatory.
  • A laptop with access to Power Apps environment (Power Apps Web) and necessary permissions to create apps and connect to data sources.
  • Willingness to engage in hands-on work and a mindset oriented to building rather than purely listening.
