What do people like you say about this course?

James says: "Another awesome course from Philip. This course goes though all the major topics on the PL-100 exam in great detail and step-by-step, I followed along on my own trial tenant which I highly recommend. Take your time and go through it all!"

Will says: "This whole series has been fantastic; the best I have seen on this topic!"

Nikhil says: "Awesome course for PL100 Exam preparation. Updated: After completing the course I got the confidence to go ahead and attempt the exam. I m proud to announce that I passed on first attempt."

Stephen says: "I didn't even know what I didn't know until I took your course. You dragged me through topics I never knew I needed. The exposure helped me to guess correctly on the test (the second time). Your course was the most thorough coverage I could have received. Your coverage was so extensive, that I have to go back and review segments. It says 16 hours--but I'm sure I spend over 120 hours on the material. Part of the time I tried to duplicate your magic. Again, Thanks 6 stars."


This course teaches the requirements for the Microsoft Certificate PL-100 "Power Platform App Maker Associate", and focuses on the various apps which make up the Power Platform, together with how they can be used by other programs, apps and services.

We'll start off by looking at canvas Power Apps. We'll get a free Developer edition and/or free trial of Power Apps, and get some sample data using the Dataverse (previously known as the Common Data Service). We'll then create a canvas Power App through a template and then, starting from scratch, we will replicate it and expand the functionality. This also includes creating a new table in the Dataverse. We will also look at Global and Context variables, components and collections.

We'll then look at model-driven Power Apps using the Dataverse. We'll look at the constituent parts of a model-driven Power Apps: site maps, forms, views, charts and dashboards. We'll also restrict the type of data which can be inserted into our Dataverse by using business rules.

Next up is Power Automate. Using our free Developer edition or the paid-for version, we'll create several automated flows, and the different triggers and actions you can use. We'll look at various triggers and actions, together with looking how we can enter data in sections using the business process flows.

We'll then go back to the Power Platform more generally, looking at solutions, security, and importing and exporting data.

We'll start off with looking at Power BI. If you have a PC, we'll look at the Power BI Service (available through any modern web browser), creating reports and dashboards, and sharing dashboards. We'll also look at adding existing Power BI tiles or dashboards into our model-driven and canvas Power Apps.

We will have a brief look at the AI Builder, and models such as the business card reader, object detection model, form processing model and prediction model. We'll then look at practical examples of using models inside Power Apps and Power Automate, and finish with some other topics.

No prior knowledge is required - we'll even see how to get a free Power Platform trial!

There are regular quizzes to help you remember the information, so you can be sure that you are learning.

Once you have completed this course, you will have a good knowledge of how to make Power Apps and Power Automate flows, together with how to use them in Microsoft Teams. And with some practice, you could even go for the official Microsoft certification PL-100 - wouldn't that look good on your CV or resume? And if you are an American college student, you might even get college credit for passing that exam.

So, without any further ado, let's have a look at how you can use Udemy interface, and then we'll have a look at the objectives for the exam and therefore the syllabus for this course.

Was presented at a great level and made it easy to follow along and attempt as we went. Just need to update the practice exams questions as some of them still relate to content not delivered until after them.

An awesome course, designed in such a way that the order of introducing topics is 1) really good, 2) makes sense and 3) Phillip's way of teaching helps understand things better not just theoretically, but practically. Following along in our environment and doing practice activities really adds to the value. Hoping to clear PL-100 soon. Cheers!

Very exceptional course and informative as well. Went from the basics to intermediate-level content with a light brush on some of the advanced techniques. Would totally recommend it to people trying to take the PL-100 exam.

Overall the instructor is doing great. I'm able to follow along and the lessons are progressing at a manageable pace. The Instructor moves a little too fast but I can compensate by replaying. I had problems, initially, getting access to an instance of the Power Apps platform. It took some time to overcome that as well.

Hi, For the certification PL-100, I decided to prepare only by following this course and doing all the hands-on exercises included (as the ressources on Microsoft Learn take too much time to read through). I went through all the sections twice. And I passed the exam on the first attempt. The course gets updated regularly, that's nice too. Thank you :)

This is the 4th course I've done by Phillip so that is testament to how effective they are at doing the Microsoft exams. It is also the best one so far with the inclusion of Practice Activities (although the mashup feature in AZ-900 course would be a great inclusion too!) Along with a MeasureUp test, this is all you need to pass the PL-100 exam!

Amazing course content with lots of practial sessions. This will not only prepared me for the certification but also lerned to work on power platform.

Far too many sections that are based on outdated information and are therefore unnecessarily confusing. The intro to Model Driven Apps (which are already tricky to understand conceptually) is terrible, mixing up-to-date videos with out-of-date ones and a practice activity solution and quiz based on the (now seemingly irrelevant) classic view. Formulas that don't even work without edits, such as using "Cover" instead of "ScreenTransition.Cover". Expectation to use an android or iOS device not mentioned in the course requirements. Shame, this could be a good course if it was actually kept up-to-date...

Best thing about the course are the hands-on exercises, so neatly woven into the overall narrative, easy to follow and wonderfully marrying the underlying concepts. Brilliant!!!

Está siendo una experiencia muy positiva. Lo único que le resta un poco al curso es que algunos temas no tienen los subtítulos en español.
