What do I need to have set up to take the challenge?

If you are wondering, "Can I do this challenge?" ... the answer is YES. And the setup you'll need is really easy
No Previous skills necessary

We've built the Challenge for anyone to follow along with, so you don't need to be an expert. As this is the second step in our Power Automate journey (after the JumpStart) it helps to have competed that challenge first. You can jump right in here though so long as you knowing how to start a Power Automate flow and how to add Actions.

PC or A Mac

To follow along with the building aspects, you will need access to a browser, and the ability to access the Power Automate designer. So long as you have a Microsoft 365 licences, It's very easy and 100% free. We also show you how to get a free licence, just in case.

To get the most out of the Challenge, you'll want to practice building and using applications. You'll do this via the Power Platform.  You can get access to Microsoft 365 including the relevant Power Platform licenses as part of a free M365 Developer Licence. There's also a very cheap paid alternative called a Microsoft Business Basics licence (around USD $5pcm). Or, you can use your own Microsoft 365 Tenant. 

Here's what some of the recent graduates from the StepUp Challenge thought ...

I am delighted with the learning experience I am getting from this course!

The use-case project is applicable to any type of business entity so the learners can easily use it to implement any business solutions

Conceptually simple but the practical example was a great learning aid

I particularly enjoyed learning about the integration of so many systems in one example

Simple, watch and do, this approach is easier to digest

At Collab365, we believe that learning is far more successful and enjoyable if you 'learn by doing'. During this training you will learn by building a functional Solution.
