Microsoft Power Platform Developer (PL-400) Training Course

AI Builder is Microsoft Power Platform’s low-code AI capability that empowers organizations to develop, train, and deploy artificial intelligence models for routine business tasks like form processing, object detection, and predictive analytics without requiring extensive data science expertise.

This instructor-led, live training (available online or onsite) targets advanced Power Platform professionals and automation leaders who want to leverage AI Builder for extracting data via OCR from both structured and unstructured forms, construct custom predictive models for qualitative and quantitative results, and optionally apply Process Mining concepts to enhance process analysis and optimization.

Upon completion of this training, participants will be capable of:

• Designing and developing AI Builder form processing models for structured and unstructured documents.
• Training, evaluating, and deploying custom prediction models for classification and regression tasks.
• Integrating AI Builder models into Power Apps and Power Automate flows to achieve end-to-end automation.
• Understanding how Process Mining can supplement AI Builder by uncovering process bottlenecks and identifying data-driven optimization opportunities.

Course Format

• Interactive lectures and live demonstrations.
• Hands-on labs focused on building AI Builder models and integrating them into Power Platform apps and flows.
• Use-case workshops and model evaluation sessions.

This instructor-led, live training in Kenya (online or onsite) is aimed at business analysts who wish to automate workflows and tasks with Microsoft Flow / Power Automate.

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

• Create business applications without needing any developer experience.
• Manage and analyze flows for business solutions.
• Create flows, define triggers, add actions, and set conditions.

This instructor-led, live training in Kenya (online or on-site) is aimed at business personnel, managers, developers, and data analysts who wish to adopt, implement, integrate, and oversee Microsoft Power Platform components and features within their organizations.

Upon completion of this training, participants will be capable of:

• Developing simple applications using Power Apps to craft custom solutions for routine business requirements.
• Automating workflow processes with Power Automate (previously known as Microsoft Flow) to reduce manual and repetitive tasks.
• Generating data reports and dashboards using Power BI to derive insightful analytics for the business.
• Constructing chatbots via Power Virtual Agents to automate and address common customer inquiries and issues.

This course provides a foundational understanding of the core components of Power Virtual Agents, Power Automate, and Power Apps, while also offering a high-level overview of Power BI. The curriculum is centered around a practical workflow derived from my experience with a previous employer. We will construct a Power App using Microsoft Power Apps to monitor tasks related to houses under construction (utilizing SharePoint for data storage to keep things straightforward). Subsequently, we will leverage Power Virtual Agents to demonstrate how to configure bots within Microsoft Teams, guiding users to documents that might be dispersed across various SharePoint sites, such as loan agreements, budgets, and sales contracts. I believe these bots have significant potential for HR and IT teams, particularly in addressing repetitive inquiries. Next, we will configure basic flows in Power Automate to archive attachments from designated senders (in our scenario, saving inspection reports organized by the bank for the units). We will also explore other straightforward flows that capture data from Microsoft Forms back into SharePoint and establish fully automated processes using the Approvals app in Microsoft Teams. Once the application, bot, and flow are finalized, the concluding phase involves creating a simple Power BI report. We will use Power Automate to dispatch a snapshot of the table containing the most recent completed tasks every two weeks to a specific recipient (the bank in this example). This request will include the draw date and the budget allocations for those tasks, all of which are captured within the app. Given that this course operates at a high level, I recommend that all learners employ ChatGPT for more technical aspects, such as coding elements or formulas within Power Apps. However, the course does cover this topic, where I demonstrate how to effectively utilize ChatGPT to assist with Power Apps formulas.
