PL-100T00 Microsoft Power Platform App Maker
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.
