Active participation in this course is crucial. The lab activities all build on one another (so for example, you are unable to move into Lab 2 if you haven't completed Lab 1). Please ensure you and/or your students have your calendars blocked off and are ready to be a full/active participant in this class - no multi-tasking please! Typical providers run this as a 3 day class, but we run it as a 4 day class to ensure students have maximum time with the hands-on labs.

More Information

The Logical Operations approach to Power Automate is different than what typical training providers offer. Each of our one-day Power Automate courses (Introduction and Advanced) allows the class participants the time to build complex automation mimicking real-life business scenarios. The focus is to ensure participants get what they need from each course and not check boxes of exposure for various product elements.
