SUMMARY:Power Platform and Process Automation Skills Bootcamp
DESCRIPTION:Reduce repetitive work and improve business processes\n\n\n\nManual tasks can quietly take up hours of working time. Copying information between spreadsheets\, sending routine emails\, updating records and producing regular reports all add to the workload.\n\nCosmic's Power Platform and Process Automation Skills Bootcamp helps businesses and self-employed people find better ways to manage these tasks.\n\nThe course introduces Microsoft's low-code Power Platform tools. Learners will discover how to build useful apps\, automate regular processes and turn business data into clear\, interactive reports.\n\n\n\nTraining covers:\n\n	Power Apps for creating simple business applications\n	Power Automate for automating routine tasks and workflows\n	Power BI for turning data into dashboards and useful insights\n	Power Virtual Agents for creating chatbots\n	Power Pages for building secure websites and online portals\n\nCoding experience is not required. Learners receive live support while working through practical examples and business challenges.\n\nEach participant will also complete a final project based on a real organisational need. This could be an automated approval process\, a reporting dashboard\, a customer enquiry system or an app that replaces a time-consuming manual task.\n\n\n\nWhich businesses could benefit?\n\nThe Bootcamp could be valuable for Somerset businesses that want to:\n\n\n	Reduce repetitive administration\n	Improve how information moves between systems\n	Make better use of Microsoft 365\n	Reduce mistakes caused by manual data entry\n	Create clearer reports and dashboards\n	Give employees the skills to improve business processes\n\nSuitable participants may include business owners\, managers and employees working in administration\, finance\, operations\, reporting\, customer service or project management.\n\nThe training is also suitable for self-employed people who want to spend less time on administration and more time developing their business.
