The course was not laid out best for a beginner not knowing anything about Power Platform. The lesson on Dataverse should have been last to build on learning and for better comprehension

The course material is very weak. It does not even cover all the questions from the assesments. Absolutely no practice excercises. All the time the course refers to official Microsoft documentation. Why do I need the course that mostly refers to another course? I think it was a waste of time comparing to time spent on Microsoft Learn.

This course is an excellent starting point for anyone new to the Microsoft Power Platform. It provides a clear and comprehensive overview of each component, from building apps with Power Apps and automating workflows with Power Automate, to creating insightful reports with Power BI. The content effectively breaks down complex topics like Dataverse and connectors, making the low-code approach accessible. I feel much more confident in my ability to leverage the Power Platform to create solutions and improve business processes after taking this course.
