What is a Collab365 Challenge?
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.

"Another great learning experience!"
I particularly like Jon's presentation method, however, I really appreciate being able to stop and go back in the videos as that meant I could work out where I'd made a mistake or missed something
Earn an industry-recognised certification.
Upon successfully completing this training, you will be awarded a prestigious Collab365 certification, issued through Credly, the leader in digital credentials. This certification serves as a testament to your newly acquired skills and your dedication to professional growth.
The Value of a Credly Certification:
Achieving a Credly certification through our Challenges and Success Paths not only marks your mastery of valuable skills but also significantly elevates your professional presence in the digital world.
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. We'd strongly encourage completing our JumpStart Challenge first, however as long as you already know the basics, we'll give you what you need to build from there.
"Power BI Desktop" on your Windows PC
To follow along with the report building aspects, you will need the Power BI Desktop application. You can get it from the Microsoft Store. It's very easy to install and 100% free. You need a Windows PC.
Microsoft 365 Tenant
You will be publishing in this challenge so you'll want access to the Power BI cloud service. You can get it 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.
Are you a Mac User?
The Power BI Desktop is currently not supported on MacOS so you need a machine running Microsoft Windows. If you don't have one, you can always setup a Virtual PC in the Cloud (we're sorry, we dont teach you how to do this part so you'll need to be set up ready)

Jon Manderville, Collab365 Coach
Jon is one of the original Collab365 Coaches and has helped build the Academy into what you see today.
He's passionate about the Power Platform but knows first-hand what it was like to begin fresh with this technology.
Having worked as a Scrum Master for many years, Jon is someone who spotted the potential for Microsoft 365 services to help teams visualise their results, data and processes so that they could improve all the time.
Jon's extensive business background and desire to build no-code solutions led him to start learning the Power Platform.
You'll be in good hands with Jon. His style is relaxed but inclusive and mindful that not everyone starts from the same place. So be prepared to get involved and have some fun along the way.
