Inquirty about Power Platform training in Yaounde

Hello,

My name is Nadia, and i would like to know what it takes to get proper training in the Power Platform field in Yaounde, Cameroon.

I am currently a program manager and would like to change career direction and move into Power Platform. However, I have not been able to find anyone or any institution that offers in-depth training that helps beginners truly understand the concepts and platforms. Most of what I see are one-day trainings focused mainly on passing the certification exam. I feel this alone would not give me the full understanding and practical exposure i am looking for.

I do not have an IT background, and I am not sure if this will be a major limitation for me. Initially, I was interested in Dynamics 365 Finance and Operations, but I was advised against it due to my limited technical background. This is why i decided to explore Power Platform, hoping it might be less technical. Please correct me if i am mistaken.

I would be very grateful for any advice, guidance or recommendations that could help me gain solid knowledge and skills in this domain.

Thank you in advance for your time and support.

Hello @CU23011229-0

here is what I would do

1. Sign up for the PowerUp program.

Power Up Program | Build confidence for the AI-first workplace

2. if you are female then sign up for #WomenInPower(Platform) so you can get a mentor.

(12) Women in Power (Platform): Posts | LinkedIn

At the moment I am sorry but my personal mentor card is full.

3. Start here - Welcome Recruit | Agent Academy

4. Go here - Browse all training - Training | Microsoft Learn (<== is power platform) has dozens of tracks to learn

5. Here - Microsoft Power Customer Advisory Team

There are others as well, I do trainings and while they are there to help people pass certifications, my trainings are about learning the platform, not learning a specific thing.

So be on the look out for when I do my free trainings.

If these suggestions help resolve your issue, Please consider Marking the answer as such and also maybe a like.

Thank you!
Sincerely, Michael Gernaey
