If you can't see the course you want listed above, don't despair! If you can muster 3 or 4 people together, it may well be worth organising an onsite course at your office (we'll provide and set up the computers), or else an online course tailored to your needs.

We don't currently have any Introduction to Power Automate courses scheduled in our London training centre. We may consider adding dates - it's always worth asking.

Alternatively, if you have a handful of like-minded people in your organisation, you could consider booking your own bespoke Introduction to Power Automate course, whereby you get to pick the dates, training delivery method and venue!

If you can't see the course you want listed above, don't despair! If you can muster 3 or 4 people together, it may well be worth organising an onsite course at your office (we'll provide and set up the computers), or else an online course tailored to your needs.

About half of our courses are created bespoke for a single organisation, and either delivered onsite (usually somewhere in the UK, but we're willing to travel!) or online. For onsite courses we will usually provide and set up the necessary computers free of charge.

There are four main reasons why you might want to book tailored training like this:

  1. If you have 3 or more people, organising custom training will probably be cheaper than booking people individually onto a scheduled course.
  2. You'll be able to choose the content of any training, and be able to pause it for discussions on how you'll use software internally, or ask to take digressions.
  3. You may not be able to travel to our venues, so it might be easier to ask us to travel to you.
  4. You may not be able to make the dates of our published scheduled courses, and want to be able to choose when your training takes place.

If you'd like a quote for how much a tailored course would cost please let us know what you'd like to achieve and we'll get back to you (normally within half a working day).

What other people have said about our Introduction to Power Automate course

Here are some comments we've received about our Introduction to Power Automate course . You can see all of our 546 reviews here. We would like to sincerely thank the clients whose names are shown below for kindly agreeing to let us share their feedback.

"A great trainer, content was good."

Liam Herbert

URIS Group/Towergate Insurance/Commercial

"Really good course & great that it is such a small group. I have previously attended in-person Wise Owl courses before. The online course worked really well (just a couple of tiny interruptions when people dropped out or sound lost). Taking the time to check the set up ahead of time & being able to have the pack posted to me was great. "

Catherine Turnbull-Ross

Fairhive Homes Ltd

"A very positive experience from start to finish. An extremely good trainer - engaging, thorough and knowledgeable. Wise Owl is a cut above the rest, we will be returning customers! The opportunity to attend this course in a classroom environment was the deciding factor as I think that it provides a better learning experience."

About this Introduction to Power Automate course

Click on one of the tabs below to see the given information about the course.

If you use cloud-based Microsoft applications such as Teams, SharePoint and Office 365, or want to generate surveys quickly using Forms, Power Automate can make your life easier by automating the repetitive tasks that a human (you, probably!) would otherwise have to do. Learn how to get your computer to do things automatically on your behalf, freeing you up for other more interesting work!

Pre-requisites

Because for both online and classroom courses you'll be using our computers, you won't need to install any software to attend this course, but you will get more out of the two days if you have some familiarity with Teams, Power BI and/or SharePoint.

What you'll need to bring

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.

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 using our whizzy Wordsworth online training system, and these computers will have all of the necessary files and software installed.

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). We will also ask you whether you want to receive a printed copy of the course manual (and post this to you if you do).

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!

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.
