Microsoft Power Automate allows you to create flows to automate your business processes. You can record information, send emails and ask for approval based on a schedule, or when the need arises

In this 2 hour course we’ll cover the skills that you need for the APL-7002 Microsoft Applied Skills credential for Power Automate.

The tasks that you need to perform to get this skill are:

  • Create triggers. This activates the flow, and there are three main triggers – automated, instant and scheduled.

  • Create and configure actions for notifications. Actions are what happens during the flow. You can read and write data, and send emails and mobile notifications.

  • Implement conditional logic. We’ll look at the Switch action, which compares two values together, and the Condition action, which is more versatile.

  • Create and configure approvals. This allows someone to look at the information generated in the flow, and approve or reject the request.

  • Configure owners and sharing. We’ll look at the difference between owners and run-only users.

We’ll go through several practical examples, so you can see how you can create your own flows

By the end of the course, you'll be much more confident about using Power Automate and perhaps even take the official Microsoft assessment. That would look great on your CV or resume.

Power Automate is a very helpful tool for get the tasks completed in less effort within a fraction of time avoiding delay and lack of precision on the domain.

By Anonymized User on 4/27/2026

This automates data collection, boosts efficiency, and allows immediate analysis and this process enhances learning initiatives by reducing manual data entry and enabling rapid, data-driven improvements to training sessions.

By Joe Prem KUMAR KUMAR on 4/24/2026

This was awesome. You learn a lot by seeing. This course was short and really helpful to start with Power Automate. Thanks a lot.

By Gene Roeber on 9/23/2025

I like being able to understand the teacher. It's difficult to learn a new skill. It's really bad to attempt a class which requires learning a new English dialect in addition to a new work-related skill. This course provides instruction that I will likely review again when I begin to use this tool.

By John D Rolzhausen on 5/27/2025

Well organized to follow along with the lectures. A lot of useful practice to be ready to take the Power Automate Applied skills assessment. Well done!

By Tony DeCaria on 12/10/2024

Great hands-on overview of some basic Power Automate functionality. Just jumps right in and lets people get busy building flows.

By Dorothy Mthembu on 8/11/2024

This course was very informative and was a VERY new concept for me. Having said that, it will be worth my while to practice all these steps outlined in the videos. The company I work for is making small changes to our systems and operations where we are trying to embrace technology skills and tools so we can work effectively and efficiently. This will certainly be a good step to take for the team in our quest. It was just confusing at times because I am not used to working with all these tools. It just needed a few practices to get it right and fully understand what I was doing. The lecturer was great at explaining the various options that may apply, such as taking you through the possible errors that may pop if you follow a certain option. That was quite helpful in resolving some of the errors that occurred. I will be looking up more Microsoft Applied Skills courses.

By Resmi Theresa Ephrem on 7/30/2024

It was an awesome training. Well structured and easy to grasp. Happy to have learned about yet another fantastic product by Microsoft.

By Wolfgang Röder on 6/3/2024

The course goes straight to some real world practical problem solving and shows all basic steps that can be used. Exactly what I was looking for to speedup my understanding of the power automation tool.

By Andrew Napper on 12/19/2023

A well-organized, compact course in Power Automate aimed at the Microsoft Applied Skills - Power Automate credential. In 2023, Microsoft launched its Applied Skills credentials as a means to validate one particular skill in its ecosystem. The course instructor, Phillip Burton, has put together a well-structured course that aligns well with the requirements for this credential. I've enjoyed previous courses by the instructor, and this was once again a very well put together course - well edited and thoughtfully produced - that I am thankful for him creating. He really does the Udemy community a service in producing high quality, and continually updated, coursework. The course consisted of six small projects, each one composed of a unique aspect of the Power Automate ecosystem. The material was concise, clear, and well-organized. No time is wasted throughout the course and ancilliary materials are provided and well put together. I took (and passed) the Applied Skills exam immediately after completion of this course. The MS exam was (I felt) slightly buggy, but all of the three scenarios contained within were easily understandable after completing this course. In summary, this was another quality course by Phillip Burton, and well-worth going through. Highly recommended!
