Presentation
A Microsoft Power Platform developer designs and implements solutions using the Power Platform ecosystem. The role includes analysing requirements and designing and developing components incorporating Power Apps, Power Automate, Power BI, Power Virtual Agents and Dataverse, interacting with applications and systems such as Dynamics 365 and Azure. Developers also build, test, deploy and maintain production solutions to optimise business efficiency.
This 5-day Microsoft course prepares you to become a Power Platform developer. Learn to analyse requirements and design and develop applications, flows and plug-ins and code components. Explore integration with Dynamics 365, Azure and third-party APIs, security and development best practices, and solution deployment and maintenance through ALM. Practical exercises and real case studies consolidate your experience.
The course also prepares you for Microsoft PL-400, leading to Microsoft Certified: Power Platform Developer Associate certification (see the Certification tab for details).
