Introduction to Microsoft Power Automate Desktop

Course Sessions

Our popular course “INTRODUCTION TO MICROSOFT POWER AUTOMATE DESKTOP” consists of the following:

  • Homework: Participants are expected to use 1-2 hours of preparation before session 1.
  • Interactive sessions: Participants are expected to use two full days for interactive sessions.

We recommend that the sessions take part over 1-2 weeks, ideally not too far apart, for the participants to keep the focus on their learnings.

Teacher

Anders will teach the course himself. Anders is an experienced RPA developer and a teacher with experience in both the public and private sectors. Anders’ YouTube channel has trained more than 130.000 Citizen Developers in just one video.

Participants

To ensure sufficient time for Q&A and the interaction between participants and the instructor, we recommend a maximum of 8-10 participants in the course.
