Course Contents - PDF

Power Apps training course contents

During this two-day course you'll find out what what rules you need to follow to generate Power BI apps, then learn how to:

  • Create a new canvas from scratch

  • Learn the importance of list, detail, and update forms

  • Learn the basic formulae necessary to make interactive objects

  • Learn how to integrate Power BI reports into your app (and Power Apps into Power BI)

What other people have said

Our thanks to everyone who agreed to share their thoughts. All of the following reviews are from the last 3 calendar years:

"Totally brilliant course, the tutor was fabulous. Would certainly recommend :-)"

Wendy Wood (Greater Manchester Combined Authority (GMCA))

"An excellent trainer and for content that could have been a bit dry, he kept it engaging and helped people understand at whatever level they were at. He is clearly exceptionally knowledgeable and this came across in a really approachable manner. He was happy to spend more time with people when required."

Matthew Fielding (Wythenshawe Community Housing Group (WCHG))

"The course met my expectations and was well delivered, by a clearly knowledgeable trainer."

Ian Voce (Merseyside Resilience Forum)

"Training session was great, if anything I slightly found the remote sessions a bit better than when I went to Manchester for the in class training sessions. Great trainer. I have previously used Wise Owl course and they were great."

Paul Martin (Ashton Sixth Form College)

"A great trainer - very friendly, engaging and extremely knowledgeable. The course was organised and efficient. The manual was very useful as we learnt a lot over the two days, so having all the information to hand and to take away was great. Would recommend the course."

Jess Dyer (CFC Underwriting)

How our training courses work

Below are some notes on how Wise Owl courses work, to help you decide whether they're for you or not.

What you'll need

If you book on a classroom course, the only thing you need to bring to the course is ... yourself! We even provide a notepad and a suprisingly nice pen for you to take notes with.

For online training you'll need two things:

  1. A good internet connection (otherwise you'll have a frustrating time); and
  2. A second screen (a requirement, not a nice-to-have!)

You can see full details of our online course requirements here.

When you book a place

If you book a place on one of our courses:

  • For classroom courses we will send out a joining email. That's it!
  • For online courses we will get in touch to organise a half-hour pre-course check to iron out any connection problems before the course (rather than during it).

Whatever type of course you book, we will also send you out a reminder a few days before the course is due to take place - not that (we hope) you'll have forgotten!

What you won't need

For classroom training, you won't need a computer - we (obviously) will provide that. However, you're welcome to use your own laptop if you prefer, providing that you have the correct software installed.

For online training you will need a computer, but you won't need to have any software installed.  This is because you'll use Windows Remote Desktop to connect to our computers, and these will have all of the necessary files and software installed.

The start of the course

For online courses you will be able to join up to half an hour before the course begins. This will give you time to:

  • familiarise yourself with the set-up;
  • meet your trainer; and
  • get to know the other delegates!

For classroom training it's always nice if people arrive a bit early too, to give people time to meet each other (and drink coffee).

You'll be given a full colour courseware manual, an exercise booklet to go with the course and a USB stick for taking course files away (we'll post all this to you for online courses).

After the course

After the course finishes you'll receive a digital certificate proving your attendance (we will gladly send a paper copy on request also).

We don't have any formal arrangement for answering questions after the course, but if you get stuck on something and email your trainer they should (and nearly always do!) respond as quickly as their training schedule allows.
