Microsoft Power Platform Developer (PL-400) Training Course

AI Builder serves as Microsoft Power Platform’s low-code AI capability, allowing organizations to construct, train, and implement AI models for standard business situations such as form processing, object detection, and prediction, without requiring extensive data science expertise.

This instructor-led, live training (available online or on-site) is designed for advanced-level Power Platform professionals and automation leaders who wish to apply AI Builder to extract information via OCR from structured and unstructured forms, build custom predictive models for qualitative and quantitative outcomes, and optionally incorporate Process Mining concepts to enhance process analysis and optimization.

Upon completion of this training, participants will be able to:

• Design and develop AI Builder form processing models for both structured and unstructured documents.
• Train, evaluate, and deploy custom prediction models for classification and regression tasks.
• Integrate AI Builder models into Power Apps and Power Automate flows for end-to-end automation.
• Understand how Process Mining can complement AI Builder by revealing process bottlenecks and data-driven optimization opportunities.

Course Format

• Interactive lecture and demonstration.
• Hands-on labs for 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 Botswana (online or onsite) is tailored for 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:

• Build business applications without requiring any development background.
• Manage and analyse flows to support business solutions.
• Create flows, define triggers, add actions, and configure conditions.

This instructor-led, live training in Botswana (online or onsite) is aimed at business staff, managers, developers, and data analysts who wish to adapt, implement, integrate, and manage Microsoft Power Platform components and features in their organization.

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

• Build simple applications with Power Apps to create custom solutions for everyday business needs.
• Automate workflow processes using Power Automate (formerly known as Microsoft Flow) to minimize manual and repetitive tasks.
• Create data reports and dashboards with Power BI to generate insightful analytics for the business.
• Build chatbots using Power Virtual Agents to automate and resolve common customer inquiries and issues.

This course provides a foundational understanding of the core components of Power Virtual Agents, Power Automate, and Power Apps, alongside a high-level introduction to Power BI. The curriculum is grounded in a real-world process I previously handled manually for a former employer. We will construct a Power App using Microsoft Power Apps to monitor tasks associated with residential construction projects, storing the data in SharePoint for ease of access. Subsequently, we will employ Power Virtual Agents to demonstrate how users can enable bots within Microsoft Teams. These bots will guide users to locate documents that may be dispersed across various SharePoint sites, such as loan agreements, budgets, and sales contracts. I perceive significant potential for these bots within HR and IT departments, particularly for managing repetitive inquiries. Furthermore, the course illustrates how to configure straightforward flows in Power Automate to archive attachments from specific senders (in this scenario, inspection reports organised by the bank for the units). We will also explore other simple flows that capture data from Microsoft Forms back into SharePoint and establish fully automated processes using the approvals feature within Microsoft Teams. Upon completion of the app, bot, and flow, the final phase involves creating a concise Power BI report. We will leverage Power Automate to dispatch a snapshot of the table containing the most recently completed tasks every two weeks to a designated recipient (the bank in this example). This report will request a disbursement, including the dates the tasks were completed and their corresponding budget amounts (all data collected via the app). Finally, given that this course is quite high-level, I recommend all learners use ChatGPT for more technical aspects, such as coding elements or formulas in Power Apps. However, this is addressed within the course, where I demonstrate how to harness ChatGPT effectively to assist with Power Apps formulas.
