Overview

“Microsoft Power Automate Desktop” is designed for roles such as Business users and citizen developers who want to automate routine work themselves and RPA developers and automation teams in business units and IT. In 6 hours you work your way through Building and recording desktop flows, UI elements and web automation and Automating Excel, files and folders in a structured way – with plenty of practice and time for your questions.

Repetitive tasks in business departments consume time that is needed elsewhere. RPA bots, cloud workflows and low-code platforms take over routine work, connect systems and make processes measurable. In our courses you learn Microsoft Power Automate Desktop through concrete automation cases: from process understanding and building stable flows to error handling, operations and governance. You build your own solutions in a practice environment, weigh effort against benefit and receive templates for documentation and handover to operations. Delivered online or on site, at a fixed price per participant.

The course is delivered live – either online in a virtual classroom or on-site in our training rooms in Munich, Salzburg, Berlin, Augsburg, Hanover, Bremen, Stuttgart and Kaiserslautern. We can also run it exclusively for your team.
