Whether you’re ready to build more powerful business solutions with the Power Platform or start using Microsoft Copilot with confidence, PowerApps911’s live summer training delivers practical, instructor-led education you can put to work immediately.
This summer, choose from Power Apps & Power Automate 201, designed to help you build apps and automate business processes with confidence, or Copilot Jumpstart, a one-day course focused on using Microsoft Copilot across real-world business scenarios. Both courses are taught live by Microsoft MVPs and include opportunities to ask questions, work through practical examples, and learn from years of real-world consulting experience.
TL;DR
PowerApps911 live training returns this summer with two sessions. Power Apps & Power Automate 201 runs July 28-30 with Power Apps MVP Steven Farris and covers building canvas and model-driven apps, automating processes, and connecting to real data sources. Copilot Jumpstart runs August 11 with Power Apps MVP and TMC Chief AI Officer Shane Young, built for business users who want practical Copilot skills in Teams, Outlook, Excel, and SharePoint without any technical background required. Both are live, hands-on, and led by Microsoft MVPs.

Summer 2026 brings two live training opportunities from PowerApps911, a TMC Global company. This PowerApps911 live training lineup is hands-on, taught by Microsoft MVPs, and built around a simple idea: skip the theory and teach people what actually works.
Here is what each course covers and who it is for.
Turning Fragmented Skills Into Solid Ones
Power Apps & Power Automate 201 runs July 28-30, 2026, from 10am to 4pm Eastern each day. Power Apps MVP Steven Farris leads the three-day course, built for people who already know their business processes but need to translate that knowledge into working apps and flows.
The course moves past the basics fast. Farris covers patching versus forms, searching and filtering with delegation in mind, and how to trigger Outlook emails, Teams chats, and other notifications from inside a flow. Students also build against real data sources including SharePoint, Dataverse, and SQL, then troubleshoot the kind of issues that only show up once an app leaves the sandbox. A new module on AI Builder and Copilot rounds out the curriculum.
Enrollment includes a 68-page hands-on lab, monthly group office hours with Shane Young, unlimited access to revisit any lesson, and a certificate of completion.
For teams, the value shows up in consistency. Instead of one person quietly becoming the office Power Platform expert, an entire team walks away with the same foundation and the same ability to build reliable solutions without waiting on IT. This kind of skill-building lines up with what Microsoft is pushing across the platform this year, including how Microsoft is rewiring CRM for the AI era.
Copilot Skills for People Who Don’t Code
Copilot Jumpstart runs August 11, 2026, from 10am to 5pm Eastern as a single-day, six-hour course. Power Apps MVP and TMC Chief AI Officer Shane Young leads the session, and it is built specifically for business users rather than developers.
The course covers five areas: Copilot Chat for research and content creation, Copilot Cowork for automating real work like document creation and scheduled research tasks, Copilot inside Teams, Outlook, and Excel for everyday productivity wins, SharePoint AI tools for extracting and organizing content, and real-world examples pulled from actual roles including sales, marketing, and project management.
Nothing about this course requires writing code or configuring anything technical. If someone can write an email, they can follow along. A Microsoft 365 Copilot license is recommended for the full hands-on experience, though attending without one still provides value.
Enrollment includes 90 days of access to the Copilot Studio 201 on-demand course, Copilot-generated meeting notes from the live session, 90 days of recording access, and a certificate of completion.
Why Live Training Beats On-Demand Here
Both courses exist as on-demand options too, so the live format is a deliberate choice for people who want more than a recorded walkthrough.
Live training means real-time questions get answered in the moment, not queued up in a support ticket. It means seeing how an instructor actually thinks through a problem when something does not work the first time, since neither course leans on slides or scripted demos. And it means built-in accountability. A scheduled three-day or one-day commitment tends to get finished, where an on-demand course can sit half-watched for months.
Both instructors also stay involved after the session ends. Farris runs monthly group office hours, and Young personally teaches the follow-up office hours sessions included with Power Platform University. The live date is a starting point, not a one-time event.
How to Register for PowerApps911 Live Training
Power Apps & Power Automate 201 is $950 and includes the 68-page hands-on lab, monthly office hours, unlimited lesson replays, and a certificate of completion.
Copilot Jumpstart is $299 and includes the Copilot Studio 201 on-demand course, Copilot-generated meeting notes, 90 days of recording access, and a certificate of completion.
Both courses allow the full purchase price to roll into Power Platform University or the All Access bundle if someone upgrades within 30 days of class, so starting with a single live course does not lock anyone out of a bigger commitment later. For a broader look at where Copilot and the Power Platform are headed together this year, see our take on what Microsoft’s Power Platform announcements mean for CRM users.
Good to know: both courses offer group and private training options. If several people on your team need the same training, reach out to TMC to ask about multi-student discounts.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can my whole team attend either course?
Yes. Both courses offer private and multi-student training options. Contact TMC directly to discuss group pricing and scheduling.
