    Blue Certified Solution

    In many cases, our Challenges are built so that you can "learn by doing". To achieve this we follow our B.L.U.E. Framework. Learn why BLUE is a superior way to learn. Here's a summary of the 4 phases.

    step 1

    BUILD IT

    Learners conceptualise and start creating the app during the ‘Build It’ phase. They tap into the Power Platform’s capabilities to design an intuitive and user-friendly interface while meeting the task’s business requirements. This hands-on experience, right from the start, deepens their understanding of the platform and its functionalities.

    step 2

    LEARN IT

    As they move into the ‘Learn It’ stage, learners realise the platform’s intricacies, discovering functionalities they were previously unaware of. This phase provides an immediate feedback loop, allowing learners to correct misconceptions, deepen their understanding, and improve their skills.

    step 3

    USE IT

    In the ‘Use It’ phase, learners experience their creations from a user’s perspective. They test the app, identifying any flaws or usability issues. This hands-on testing and usage phase provides invaluable insights into user experience, an essential aspect of any app development process.

    step 4

    ENHANCE IT

    Finally, during the ‘Enhance It’ stage, learners refine their app based on the feedback and insights gained during testing. This iterative process simulates a real-world development cycle, reinforcing the importance of continual learning and improvement in the technology industry.

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

    Dave Saunders describes his experience with the JumpStart course as a "really good experience". He particularly values the 'watch and do' training approach, labelling it as an "ideal" method for information processing. Dave appreciates the structured format of the challenge which he says is set out in a "nice flow" and "bite size sections" that facilitate digestion of information. He recognises the unique simplicity of this course stating that it's: "Simple, watch and do, this approach is easier to digest".

    When reflecting on the Power Automatic Challenge, Dave says it's a "great start to learning the basics, setting a great foundation to build on". The challenge has had a positive influence on Dave's ambitions in Power Automate, leading him to conclude, "I think the challenge helped test my understanding and improved my base, I will be definitely be using more of it in the future". Finally, he considers the JumpStart approach to be a "great way to either start a new skill or help build confidence in an existing skill reinforcing knowledge", and expresses his enthusiasm to "start the new one soon".

    "I wanted to understand the power of automation and a practical approach to using it!"

    Very good presentation of a powerful tool, at a good pace, including many practical tips along the way.

    What do I need to take the challenge?

    No Previous skills necessary

    We've built the Challenge for anyone to follow along with, so you don't need any previous skills. Knowing a bit about Excel or being a bit 'technically minded' is really helpful but we'll give you what you need along the way.

    A PC and Mobile device

    To follow along with the building aspects, you will need access to a browser, and the ability to download the Power App app from either the Microsoft, iOS or Google Play stores on your mobile device. It's very easy to install and 100% free. We also show you how, just in case you're unsure. 

    Microsoft 365 Tenant (Optional)

    To get the most out of the Challenge, you'll want to practice building, sharing 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. 

    This training includes:

    • 2 hours of study
    • Access to the Collab365 Academy
    • Watch on Desktop or Mobile
