Can Anyone Learn How to Use Power Apps?

Power Apps is a low code development tool with which anyone can learn to rapidly develop responsive Apps with no prior programming, coding or software development knowledge. You will require an Microsoft 365 Business or Enterprise subscription or a Power Apps standalone plan. With Power Apps you can quickly learn to produce intuitive and integrated visual Apps for your workflows, process automation, team activities, business rules and reporting to mention a few use-cases.

On-site Power Apps Training in the United Kingdom

These are corporate in-house training courses conducted at your workplace for small groups. You should aim to book at least a month in advance and the maximum group size is eight per course.

Our 'face-to-face' closed courses for Power Apps are delivered as private events and afford more flexibility than off-the-shelf courses with opportunities to tailor content to fit your particular learning needs. Your trainer will discuss your requirements with you prior to the course date.

We can attend anywhere in mainland UK (for overseas requirements, please enquire). On rare ocassions travel supplements may apply for Power Apps training in Central London to cover additional expenses such as congestion charges, but we will endeavour to waive these when possible.

With our on-site Microsoft Power Apps courses our trainers come to your workplace throughout mainland UK, bringing the training to you whether you're in a major city such as London, Manchester, Birmingham, Leeds, or anywhere else.

This offers a cost-effective way to train small groups and entire departments in the comfort of familiar surroundings from the Capital City of London to The Cotswolds, from Hampshire to Northamptonshire, West Midlands to West Yorkshire, Sussex to South Yorkshire, Norfolk to Northumberland, Lancashire to Lincolnshire, Cambridgeshire to Gloucestershire, Bristol to Berkshire, Essex to the East Riding and everywhere inbetween.

Live Virtual Classroom Power Apps Courses, UK and Beyond

If you'd rather that your team learns remotely, these small-group Power Apps courses are also available as live virtual, interactive sessions from the comfort of your office or workplace. These courses are taught via Microsoft Teams.

Why choose virtual learning? As we've all become used to Online learning (and live virtual meetings) it is clear that virtual classroom delivery has some advantages over traditional face-to-face learning.

If you're looking for local training, then you can't get closer to your doorstep than you can with virtual learning.

For live virtual Power Apps training the maximum group size is eight per course and you benefit from full and immersive interaction with your trainer just as if they were in the classroom with you, with engaging hands-on training via advanced live video conferencing that is enriched by features such as live chat, private chat, and sharing screens and documents.

Commercial and Corporate Power Apps Courses for the Public and Private Sectors

How Many People Should Attend Our Power Apps Courses?

Whilst the number of people who attend our private Power Apps courses is essentially up to you and depends on the number of learners you have (up to our eight per course limit), we encourage you to keep class sizes small where possible and recommend a maximum of eight learners for technical courses such as Power Apps. This provides a more personable and effective learning experience and allows the trainer to give individual attention to every student.

What is the Teaching Method for Our Power Apps Courses?

The teaching methodology for our Power Apps courses is Instructor-led training (ILT), which means that our courses are engaging, immersive, hands-on and interactive. With this participatory learning method your staff will retain information better, whether they're studying Power Apps subjects in-person or via live virtual classroom.

And, whilst we're happy to provide lectures, show-and-tells and drop-in surgeries, the ILT approach is by far the best way to bring your Power Apps know-how to life in a small-class-size setting.

How Long are our Power Apps Courses?

Usual teaching hours for our Power Apps courses are 9.30AM to 4.30PM with a lunch hour and short breaks morning and afternoon. This timetable is fairly standard across the industry and gives six hours of hands-on Power Apps learning, which is an optimal day's training for comfortably absorbing and retaining information and completing practice exercises.

If you want a different start time for your course please let us know.

Courses are run week days, during normal business hours.

Notes: Power Apps Terminology in Layman's Terms

1) Data Cards are the building blocks of your Power App. Each card is made up of fields which you can define, shuffle, organise and format. Cards can be fully customised or you can use predefined cards which come with baked-in data types (strings, numbers and so forth). Data Cards provide a highly flexible and powerful way of designing forms in Power Apps.

2) App Logic is essentially a rule-based and validated workflow driven by formulas and (according to Microsoft) can be used to provide data validation for processes such as, "Business process flows, workflows, actions and business rules". There are a number of considerations when it comes to deciding when and if App Logic should be applied to your Power App. For further reading we recommend the Microsoft article Where to place logic: Canvas apps, model-driven apps, Microsoft Dataverse, or Power Automate flows?. Its also worth mentioning that Power Apps is not the only show in town when it comes to logic-driven workflows and the Azure Logic Apps platform might also meet your requirements.

3) Pen Input Controls provide your users with a whiteboard canvas upon which they can write, draw and highlight. A simple use for a pen control, for instance, might be to allow a user to digitally sign an approval. Pen Input controls do come with accessibility considerations and are not usable for keyboard users or screen reader users, so alternative input options should be provided. For a definitive guide to Pen Inputs in Power Apps see the Microsoft article Pen input control in Power Apps.
