Microsoft Power Platform

Microsoft Power Platform Training & Workshops

Licences the whole company pays for, used by a handful of people. Makers who stall after their first app. Our training turns your teams into confident Power Platform makers, administrators and pro-developers, built around your own data and systems, not generic slideware.

What is Microsoft Power Platform Training?

Microsoft Power Platform training gives your people the skills to build apps, automate processes, analyse data and deploy AI agents using the same tools your organisation already licences. Done well, it converts Power Platform licences into a genuine competitive advantage; done badly, it produces a wave of unmaintainable shadow IT.

Synapx is a Microsoft XIAD ("In a Day") delivery partner, accredited to run Microsoft's official one-day, hands-on workshop programme: App in a Day, Dashboard in a Day, Automation in a Day, Agent in a Day, Copilot Studio in a Day and Power Pages in a Day. Alongside these, we design and deliver fully bespoke curricula, in-person round tables and long-running developer academies built around your environments, your data and your real business challenges.

Every session is led by senior Synapx consultants, including Microsoft MVPs and Microsoft Certified Trainers, who spend most of their working week delivering live Power Platform, AI and Data projects. Your teams learn from people who are solving the same problems in production today, not from instructors reading from slides.

The format matters as much as the content. Generic e-learning has a completion problem because it asks people to learn abstract tools with imaginary data. We run every lab against scenarios that look like your Monday morning: your systems, your data shapes, your governance rules. Skills learned in context are the ones that survive the week after the course.

Training also compounds when it is part of a wider adoption plan. Most clients pair a workshop programme with a Centre of Excellence, so new makers build inside guardrails from day one, and with ongoing office hours so momentum does not fade once the trainer leaves the room.

What We Deliver

What we deliver

Bespoke in-person training

On-site, instructor-led sessions run at your offices and shaped entirely around your environment: your data, your systems, your real use cases. Whiteboarding, live builds and hands-on labs in the same room mean faster questions, faster feedback and skills that stick.

Microsoft "In a Day" (XIAD) workshops

As an accredited XIAD partner, we deliver Microsoft's official programme: App in a Day, Dashboard in a Day, Automation in a Day, Agent in a Day, Copilot Studio in a Day and Power Pages in a Day. One day, real solutions built, teams leaving with momentum.

AI & Data round tables

Facilitated, peer-level round tables that bring your leaders together with our MVPs to work through the real questions of AI and data adoption: governance, Copilot rollout, Fabric strategy and where to focus first. Candid, Chatham House-style, and vendor-honest.

Microsoft partner events on AI & Data

In-person briefings, showcases and community events, hosted by Synapx and co-delivered with Microsoft, covering Copilot, Microsoft Fabric, Azure AI Foundry and the wider Data & AI stack. A chance for your teams to learn, benchmark and network.

Upskilling internal developer teams

Advanced enablement for pro-developers and fusion teams: PCF controls, custom connectors, plugins, solutions, ALM, Azure integration and pro-code Copilot Studio. We turn capable software engineers into productive Power Platform developers.

Administrator & CoE training

Train your platform admins on environment management, DLP, ALM, licensing and monitoring so your Centre of Excellence runs smoothly and your estate stays governed as it scales.

Certification preparation

Structured, exam-aligned preparation for PL-900, PL-100, PL-200, PL-400, PL-500, PL-600 and AI-900, with hands-on labs and timed mock exams so your teams pass with confidence.

Ongoing mentoring & office hours

Regular drop-in clinics, code reviews and 1:1 mentoring so makers and developers always have somewhere to turn when they get stuck, long after the training days end.

Formats

Workshop, academy or certification prep?

Three formats cover most training needs, and they solve different problems. Picking the right one depends on where your teams are starting from and what you need them to be doing next quarter.

Most successful programmes sequence all three: an In-a-Day to spark interest, an academy for the people who catch fire, and certification to make the new capability visible. We will map the sequence to your goals in the first conversation.

Client Voices

From our training clients

"They listened, challenged our assumptions, and delivered night-and-day results."

"From the very first conversation, Synapx stood out. They didn't offer a one-size-fits-all solution; they listened, understood our workflows, and constructively challenged our assumptions. Since launch, the difference has been night and day: engagement is up, performance is dramatically better, and our teams now have a single, connected space for learning and communication. I'd recommend Synapx to any organisation looking to get more out of Microsoft technology."

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Is the training off-the-shelf or bespoke?

Either. We run Microsoft “in a Day” sessions (App, Dashboard, Automation, Agent, Power Pages) as standard courses, and we build fully bespoke curricula that use your own data, systems and processes where appropriate.

Do you deliver in person or remotely?

Both. Most clients opt for a blend – an in-person bootcamp or kick-off followed by remote sessions, office hours and recorded content your teams can revisit.

Can you prepare our teams for Microsoft certifications?

Yes. We deliver structured preparation for PL-100, PL-200, PL-400, PL-500, PL-600, PL-900 and related AI / Azure certifications, with hands-on labs and timed mock exams.

Who delivers the training?

Senior Synapx consultants, including Microsoft MVPs and Microsoft Certified Trainers, who spend most of their time actually delivering Power Platform projects. Training is grounded in real, recent delivery rather than slideware.

How long are typical programmes?

Single-topic “in a Day” sessions run 1 day. Bespoke maker bootcamps run 3–5 days. Longer academies (e.g., a citizen-developer cohort programme) typically run 8–12 weeks with ongoing mentoring after that.

Can training be coupled with a CoE engagement?

Yes, and we strongly recommend it. Training has much more impact when your Power Platform environments, governance and paved roads are already in place, so makers can apply what they learn safely.
