This course is a fantastic way to get started on the Microsoft Power Platform. It was very informative and gave a good base understanding on how to navigate and use all the different functions. It is structured in a way that makes it easy to follow, as well as easy to delve into more complicated processes in your own time and still understand what’s going on.
