Microsoft Power Platform Foundations with Dynamics 365 Integration Training Course

AI Builder is Microsoft Power Platform's low-code AI capability that enables organisations to build, train, and deploy AI models for common business scenarios such as form processing, object detection, and prediction without deep data science expertise.

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

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

• Design and build 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 for end-to-end automation.
• Understand how Process Mining can complement AI Builder by revealing process bottlenecks and data-driven optimisation opportunities.

Format of the Course

• Interactive lecture and demonstration.
• Hands-on labs 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 New Zealand (online or on-site) is designed for business analysts who wish to automate workflows and tasks using Microsoft Flow/Power Automate.

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

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

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

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 minimise 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 principles of Power Virtual Agents, Power Automate, and Power Apps, with a high-level introduction to Power BI. The curriculum is structured around a real-world process I previously managed manually for a former employer. We will develop a Power App using Microsoft Power Apps to track construction tasks for new homes, storing the data on SharePoint for ease of use. We will then implement Power Virtual Agents to guide users on enabling bots within Microsoft Teams, directing them to documents scattered across various SharePoint sites, such as loan paperwork, budgets, and sales contracts. I see significant potential for these bots within HR and IT teams, particularly for handling repetitive inquiries. Next, I will demonstrate how to configure simple flows in Power Automate to automatically save attachments from specific senders (in our example, saving inspection reports organised by the bank) and create other straightforward flows to capture data from Microsoft Forms into SharePoint. We will also build fully automated processes using the Approvals app within Microsoft Teams. Once the app, bot, and flow are complete, the final step involves creating a simple Power BI report. We will use Power Automate to send a snapshot of the latest completed tasks to a specific recipient (the bank in this scenario) every two weeks. This snapshot will include the completion dates and budget amounts for the tasks, all of which are collected within the app, to support drawdown requests. Finally, as this course is designed at a high level, I recommend that learners leverage ChatGPT for more technical aspects, such as the coding elements or formulas in Power Apps. This is covered during the course, where I demonstrate how to effectively utilise ChatGPT to assist with Power Apps formulas.
