Microsoft Power Platform Developer (PL-400) Training Course

AI Builder serves as Microsoft Power Platform’s low-code AI solution, empowering organisations to construct, train, and deploy AI models for prevalent business scenarios—such as form processing, object detection, and prediction—without requiring extensive data science expertise.

This instructor-led, live training (available online or onsite) targets advanced Power Platform professionals and automation leaders keen on applying AI Builder for OCR extraction from both structured and unstructured forms, creating custom predictive models for qualitative and quantitative outcomes, and optionally leveraging Process Mining concepts to enhance process analysis and optimisation.

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

• Design and develop AI Builder form processing models for 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 to achieve end-to-end automation.
• Comprehend how Process Mining can augment AI Builder by identifying process bottlenecks and data-driven optimisation opportunities.

Format of the Course

• Interactive lecture and demonstration.
• Hands-on labs involving the construction of AI Builder models and their integration into Power Platform apps and flows.
• Use-case workshops and model evaluation sessions.

This instructor-led, live training in South Africa (online or onsite) targets business analysts aiming to streamline workflows and tasks using Microsoft Flow / Power Automate.

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

• Develop business applications without requiring any developer experience.
• Manage and analyze flows to support business solutions.
• Create flows, define triggers, add actions, and set conditions.

This instructor-led, live training in South Africa (online or onsite) is designed for business personnel, managers, developers, and data analysts who wish to adapt, implement, integrate, and manage Microsoft Power Platform components and features within their organisation.

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

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

This course provides a foundational overview of the core principles behind Power Virtual Agents, Power Automate, and Power Apps, while also offering a high-level introduction to Power BI. The curriculum is centred around a practical workflow I previously managed manually for a former employer. We will construct a Power App using Microsoft Power Apps to monitor tasks related to house construction, storing the data in SharePoint for simplicity. Subsequently, we will leverage Power Virtual Agents to demonstrate how to enable bots within Microsoft Teams, guiding users to locate documents scattered across various SharePoint sites, such as loan documents, budgets, and sales contracts. I observe significant potential for these bots within HR and IT teams, particularly for managing repetitive inquiries. I will also show you how to configure simple flows in Power Automate to archive attachments from designated senders (in our scenario, the bank's inspection reports for the units). Additionally, we will explore other straightforward flows that capture data from Microsoft Forms back into SharePoint and establish fully automated processes using the approvals app within Microsoft Teams. Once the app, bot, and flow are established, the final step involves creating a straightforward Power BI report. We will utilise Power Automate to send a snapshot of the table containing the most recently completed tasks every two weeks to a specific recipient (the bank in this example). This report will request a drawdown, including the task completion dates and associated budget amounts—all data collected via the app. Finally, as this course remains at a high level, I recommend that learners use ChatGPT for more technical aspects, such as coding or formulas in Power Apps. However, this is also covered in the course, where I demonstrate how to effectively utilise ChatGPT to assist with Power Apps formulas.
