• Target audience

  The course is for RPA developers who want to learn best practices and build complex workflows, whether they come from Power Automate Desktop or from tools such as UiPath and Blue Prism.

• Prerequisites

  You need experience with Power Automate Desktop or a similar RPA tool and should know the basic RPA concepts. Otherwise you will not get the full benefit of the course.

  If you are missing the basics, start with our Power Automate Desktop beginners course.

• Duration and location

  The course lasts two days. We agree on the date and location with you, and you choose whether it runs on-site or online.

  Online, we draw on our experience from the YouTube channel to keep the teaching lively and interactive on screen.

  On-site, we come to you. Travel and accommodation are added to the price by agreement.

• Equipment and licences

  The course runs on the participants' own Windows computers with Excel, Outlook (classic), and Microsoft Edge with the Power Automate extension. Access to Microsoft Power Automate is required. The instructor demonstrates the SQL part of the reporting lesson. The scheduled cloud flow in the orchestration lesson needs a Power Automate premium licence and the Power Automate machine runtime.

• Format

  The course combines live teaching with practical exercises. Participants work through examples and tasks themselves, with help from the instructor.

• E-learning

  Participants get access to our e-learning during the course and can use it afterwards at their own pace. It lives on I Love Automation, where the content is kept up to date. There are also active communities where participants can get help applying what they learned to their own work.

• Number of participants

  We recommend up to about 15 participants per course. That leaves room for everyone to take part, ask questions, and get help from the instructor.

• Terms and conditions

  Our services follow clear business terms built on mutual trust and simple transactions. Note that all services require prepayment and are non-refundable. Read our terms and conditions for details.

• Price and booking

  The price is fixed regardless of the number of participants, which makes the course a good fit for teams that want thorough teaching at a good price.
