IT backlog, shortage of developers, tight budget
You’re working for an SME. Your IT staff has a backlog of issues. So your back office automation app goes to the back of the queue. Limited funds mean no outsourcing budget for professional developers. Besides development, testing, approvals would be time consuming, years, months and expensive.
Is there an alternative? You probably thinking developing apps is beyond you. It is not your main job. Besides you don’t have the time to research, filter support documentation. Read blogs, submit questions to community support forums. And watching, endless YouTube videos isn't an option. Add everyday daily tasks to the mix and your app ideas disappear into the future.

Rapid App Development & Publishing...
Despite being a beta test edition ‘App Craft' inspired me the minute I started the course. Before 'App Craft' I used free and paid for online training. I wasn't making much progress because the courses were largely theory. I found, such courses often lack real-world scenario.
Theoretical training makes it challenging to picture how the course can be applied to build a real-world app. For example, upload an image to SharePoint. Suppose you want to add metadata (an image a title and description). You need to find the training for that somewhere else. More time wasted. Not with this course.
Donal Carrol // Change Management Consultant
To buy this course was pretty much a gut decision...
I like to consider my technical skills are well above average, but I had no previous MS Power App knowledge. I needed rapid training that covered the building of a complete working audit app. And could be deployed in days not months. Learn by doing focus really helped cement my understanding.
While the training programme was a pilot edition. I had little difficulty to make the necessary adaptations. To fit our business requirements.

Warning "Hanging On" Is Destroying Your Health
Some years ago, I worked for Hilton Park Lane, London. We used paper forms and many files. A few years later working elsewhere, Word, Excel spreadsheets, emails. Workflows were clunky. Inevitable some of our information was inaccurate.
People held information in their heads.
Add lost or damaged files and decisions tended to be more subjective than factual.
It was challenging to identify which assets were uneconomic. What processes needed improvement. Such antiquated decision processes led to downtime.
This resulted in higher staff stress levels. Increased the number of health and safety breaches.
We incurred expensive downtime costs. For example, faulty equipment hadn't been reported or serviced.
If Power Apps were available to me then. We would have created and deployed applications ourselves. Because IT involvement wouldn't necessarily be required.
Many of our existing back-office processes could have been automated. Staff would have been able to access apps both on and offline. Thus, overcoming Wi-fi black spots. This capability would ensure procedures were adhered to.
Added benefits minimal data input errors because transposition errors are eliminated. Our decisions would have been based upon accurate real-time verifiable data.
Thinking back, I know my first app would have been an inventory audit app.

Course Overview
Expertise, Problem, Character
It’s all too easy to feel overwhelmed by verbiage, poorly composed training.
Such factors make you believe you lack the knowledge required to build an app.
Perhaps you feel like screaming "Just bloody show me" I’ll reverse engineer the app.
I’ve felt that. Admittedly my dyslexia is a significant contributor factor to my frustrations. But that's not unique to me.

Christopher Bird // Trainer
Dyslexia makes you think differently. Examples of dyslexics Albert Einstein, Winston Churchill, Richard Branson. For me, I prefer to take things apart. And learn how each bit functions rather than attempt to comprehend the theory.
Working in hospitality for more than twenty years. Strengthed my systems thinking approach towards learning. And that factor attracted me to work in IT.

Julia Stone // Procurement manager
Build apps you love and get on with living your life.
I have a young family and I wanted to advance my career and earn more money. I didn’t want my boss, team to see me as “just another employee” but as an authority for app development. I’d describe myself as a citizen developer but in reality, I’ve yet to achieve that. Nevertheless, I’ve taken the first step with this course. My app objectives increase organisational profits, productivity, and maximise departmental budget.
