Power Apps & Power Automate Training

Power Apps and Power Automate let business users with no development background build their own department’s application. In these trainings the participant builds the selected case’s application from start to finish. The Power Automate Cloud training covers cloud automations such as approval flows and scheduled tasks as a subject of its own, separate from app development.

01Training Overview

Duration
1 Day
Training Hours
09:30 – 16:30
Maximum Participants
10 Participants
Hands-on Ratio
80% Hands-on / 20% Theory
Certificate
Participants receive an IBA Consultancy Certificate of Participation at the end of the training.
Format
Online, On-site or Hybrid — based on the organisation's preference.
Prerequisites
None. No prior experience with Power Apps or Power Automate is required.
Training Objective

This training teaches participants, in one day, to design a simple app with Power Apps and to build an approval/notification flow connected to that app with Power Automate. The programme covers screen and form design, data connection, basic automation (trigger, condition, action) and testing, all hands-on.

The training works through a simple manual process chosen by the participant from their own department; by the end of the day, participants leave with a working app and an automation flow connected to it.

Participants start from a blank page and leave having turned a simple manual process from their own department into a working app and automation.

Technical Content

App Fundamentals

  • Introduction to the Power Apps interface
  • Screen and form design
  • Connecting to a data source
  • Basic controls and navigation

Automate Fundamentals

  • Introduction to the Power Automate interface
  • Trigger and action logic
  • Setting up approval and notification flows
  • Connecting the app to the flow and testing

02Exercises and Project Scenarios

Option A

Expense Tracking (Simple Version)

A single-screen app where the employee submits an expense claim, and a simple automation flow that sends the claim to the manager for approval.

Option B

Inventory Tracking (Simple Version)

A single-screen app where product/material stock entries are recorded, and a simple automation flow that sends a notification when stock runs low.

Option C

Travel Leave Request (Simple Version)

A single-screen app where the employee requests travel leave, and a simple automation flow that sends the request to the manager for approval.

Whichever case is selected, the technical scope and outcomes of the training remain the same — the same app design and automation topics are covered. The organisation can later extend this case into a full-scope system, including Dataverse, in IBA's AB-410 training.

03Training Agenda (1 Day)

The agenda runs end to end in a single day; participants start the morning with a blank app and finish the day with a working app and automation flow.

Prerequisites
No software development knowledge is required. Basic Excel/Office skills are sufficient. Designed for business users and citizen developers.
Training Objective

This training teaches business users and citizen developers with no software development background to build a functional app with Power Apps and an automation flow connected to that app with Power Automate. The programme covers, hands-on, data source fundamentals, canvas app screen/control design, Power Fx fundamentals, a working CRUD (create-read-update-delete) app, Power Automate triggers/actions/connectors, and approval and notification flows.

Compared with IBA's "AB-410: Microsoft Power Platform App Development Training", this training offers a shorter, entry-level introduction without Dataverse — the organisation can later extend the same case to AB-410 scope, including Dataverse.

Participants leave having turned a manual process from their own department into a working app and automation that their team can actually use.

Technical Content

App Fundamentals

  • Power Platform and data source fundamentals
  • Canvas app screens, controls and Power Fx fundamentals
  • Developing a functional CRUD (create-read-update-delete) app

Automate Fundamentals

  • Power Automate: trigger, action and connector fundamentals
  • Approval and notification flows
  • Combining the app and flows in a mini project

02Exercises and Project Scenarios

Option A

Expense Tracking

An app and flow where employees submit expense claims, the manager approves them and the status is communicated through an automatic notification.

Option B

Inventory Tracking

An app and flow where product/material stock entries are recorded and an automatic notification is sent when stock runs low.

Option C

Travel Leave Request

An app and flow where the employee requests travel leave, the request goes to the manager for approval and the outcome is notified.

Whichever case is selected, the technical scope and outcomes of the training remain the same — the same app design and automation topics are covered. The training is based on a single case chosen by the participant from their own department; over four days this case is built up step by step: on Day 1 the case's first screen is built on data source and canvas app screen/control fundamentals, on Day 2 a functional CRUD app is completed with Power Fx, on Day 3 the first automation flow (trigger/action) is added to the case with Power Automate fundamentals, and on Day 4 the app-to-flow connection is completed in a mini project with approval and notification flows. The cases come from the same family as those used in IBA's AB-410 training; the organisation's own process can also be used as the case — provided it is of similar scope, this does not affect the duration or price of the training. Dataverse is not included in this training; a SharePoint list is used as the data source. The organisation can later extend this case into a full-scope system, including Dataverse, in IBA's AB-410 training.

01Training Overview

Duration
6 Days
Training Hours
09:30 – 16:30
Maximum Participants
10 Participants
Hands-on Ratio
80% Hands-on / 20% Theory
Certificate
Participants receive an IBA Consultancy Certificate of Participation at the end of the training.
Format
Online, On-site or Hybrid — based on the organisation's preference.
Prerequisites
No software development knowledge is required. Basic Excel/Office skills are sufficient.
Training Objective

This training aims to give participants the skills to digitise business processes end to end using Microsoft Power Apps, Power Automate and Dataverse. Throughout the programme, participants learn algorithmic thinking, data modelling, low-code development with Power Fx, flow design and enterprise data security by building a project themselves.

The key difference of this training is that topics are covered not through theoretical lectures but through a single real business scenario. Before the training, a case is chosen together with the organisation, and over six days this case is built up step by step: it starts with a simple data model, the app interface is built, automation is added, the data model is extended into a relational structure, and on the final day the security and publishing layer is set up.

Dataverse is not a separate module but is built into the process as the data foundation of the selected case; participants set up the data model, build the app on top of it and feed it with flows.

By the end of the training, participants are no longer observers but makers who can build their own department's app.

Technical Content

Power Apps

  • The Power Platform ecosystem, environments and licensing principles
  • Canvas and Model-Driven app architectures
  • Formula-based development with Power Fx
  • Form design, validation and error handling
  • Gallery, filtering, search and delegation optimisation
  • Collections, CRUD operations and multi-screen navigation
  • Mobile/responsive design and publishing

Power Automate

  • Flow types: Automated, Instant and Scheduled flows
  • Trigger–action logic, connectors and connection management
  • Conditional logic (Condition, Switch, Parallel), variables and loops
  • Approval processes, multi-level approval and escalation architecture
  • Teams integration and Adaptive Cards
  • Error handling (Try–Catch pattern), monitoring and logging

Dataverse (runs throughout the training as the projects' data foundation)

  • Dataverse architecture compared with SharePoint: which one when?
  • Tables, columns, data types and relationship types (1:N, N:1, N:N)
  • Lookup, Choice, Calculated and Rollup fields
  • Building business logic without code using Business Rules
  • Power Automate integration with Dataverse triggers
  • Security model: Business Unit, Security Role, Team
  • Record-level and field-level security
  • Solution structure and moving between environments (ALM fundamentals)

02Exercises and Project Scenarios

Option A

Expense Tracking System

A system where employees submit expense claims, upload receipts and track their status. It is extended with an approval mechanism that branches by amount, department-level spending visibility and periodic reporting.

Option B

Inventory and Asset Assignment Tracking System

A system that tracks fixed assets and stock items, the people they are assigned to, and stock-in and stock-out movements. With product, location, staff and movement tables, it is naturally strong on relational modelling; it is extended with critical stock level alerts and asset assignment approval.

Option C

Travel and Leave Request System

A system where staff create travel and leave requests and the manager approves them via Teams. It is extended with a hierarchical approval structure, accrued leave balance calculation and calendar integration.

Whichever case is selected, the technical scope and outcomes of the training remain the same — the same Power Apps, Power Automate and Dataverse topics are covered. A single project case is chosen for the training and built up step by step over six days: on Day 1 the core data model is set up in Dataverse, on Day 2 the Canvas app interface is built, on Day 3 the process is automated with Power Automate, on Day 4 the data model is extended into a relational structure, on Day 5 a Model-Driven interface and a multi-level approval architecture are added, and on Day 6 the security and publishing layer is set up. The organisation can also propose a different case from its own business processes (purchasing, field service, customer request management, etc.) — provided it is of similar scope, changing the scenario does not affect the duration or price of the training.

Prerequisites
No software development knowledge is required. Basic Excel/Office skills are sufficient.
Training Objective

This training teaches participants to build different automation patterns (approval, scheduled, notification/integration, data processing) from scratch with Power Automate cloud flows. The programme covers trigger and action logic, connector usage, conditional logic and the basics of error handling through hands-on work.

This training has a different focus from IBA's "Power Apps + Power Automate" and AB-410 trainings: there, automation is taught as a single flow tied to an app the participant builds; here, no app is built, and the training goes straight into the breadth of four different automation patterns. If the organisation later wants to combine automation with an app, it can move on to Power Apps + Power Automate or AB-410.

By the end of the training, participants can choose and build the right flow for their own department's different automation needs (approval, scheduling, notification, data processing).

Technical Content

Cloud Flow Fundamentals

  • Introduction to Power Automate: triggers, actions and connectors
  • Trigger types: instant, automated, scheduled
  • Conditions and branching logic

Automation Patterns

  • Approval processes
  • Scheduled flows
  • Notifications and system integration (email, Teams)
  • Basic error handling

02Exercises and Project Scenarios

Scenario 1

Approval Flow

Covers a multi-stage approval flow in which a request (expenses, leave, etc.) is sent to a manager for approval and the outcome is notified automatically.

Scenario 2

Scheduled Flow

Covers a flow that runs automatically at set intervals, for example sending a weekly summary report.

Scenario 3

Notification and Integration Flow

Covers a flow triggered by an email or Teams message that sends automatic notifications to the relevant people.

Scenario 4

Data Processing Flow

Covers a flow in which incoming data is filtered and processed based on conditions and the result is written to a list/table.

Together, the four scenarios show the range of automation Power Automate provides across approval, scheduling, notification and data processing. The four scenarios below are the standard exercise set for the training and are worked through in order; they are not alternatives, and all of them are covered. The strength of Power Automate comes not from mastering a single type of flow but from being able to adapt to different trigger and integration types. If the organisation would like a scenario of similar complexity taken from its own processes (purchase approval, weekly report distribution, system notifications, etc.), it can replace one of the existing scenarios. Changing a scenario does not affect the duration or price of the training.

03Training Agenda (2 Days)

The agenda works through four independent automation patterns day by day; the first day focuses on approval and scheduled flows, the second on notification/integration and data processing flows.

  1. Day 1 — Fundamentals, Approval and Scheduled Flows

    • Introduction to Power Automate: triggers, actions and connectors
