Master the foundations first. Then supercharge everything with Copilot, AI Builder, and Azure OpenAI.
AI tools are only as good as the developer using them. This course teaches you the Power Platform fundamentals that make AI actually work — then shows you how to use it to build in half the time.
Six job-ready skills built through projects — the foundations that make AI tools actually deliver.
Forms, galleries, navigation, offline mode — then use Copilot to scaffold and iterate 10x faster once you understand what it's building.
Approvals, notifications, API calls — plus AI Builder actions for document processing, sentiment analysis, and content classification inside your flows.
Tables, relationships, security roles, business rules — the data foundation that every AI feature in the platform is built on top of.
SharePoint, Teams, Azure, and external APIs — including Azure OpenAI via custom connectors to bring GPT-powered features into your apps.
Copilot in Power Apps and Automate, AI Builder models, GPT-powered flows, and prompt engineering — build features in hours that used to take days.
Dedicated module — Week 10Architecture decisions, client communication, pricing — how to position AI-enhanced Power Platform work and charge accordingly.
Copilot can scaffold a Canvas App in seconds. But if you don't understand delegation, it'll generate an app that breaks at 500 records. AI Builder can extract data from invoices — but if you don't know how to model that data in Dataverse, you can't do anything useful with it.
This course teaches Power Platform the right way — foundations first, AI second. By the time you reach Week 10, you'll know exactly what the AI is doing, why it works, and how to fix it when it doesn't.
AI-first without foundations
Generates code you can't debug, apps that break at scale, flows with no error handling. You're dependent on the AI to fix what the AI broke.
Foundations + AI (this course)
You direct the AI with intent. You review its output critically. You ship faster and you know it works — because you built the same thing by hand first.
Three types of people ready to take Power Platform — and AI — seriously.
IT professionals, admins, and analysts who want to move into development. The combination of Power Platform + AI skills is one of the fastest paths into a developer role in the Microsoft ecosystem right now.
You've built basic apps but you're hitting walls. You've heard Copilot can help but you're not sure how — or you've tried it and the output is wrong and you don't know why. This course fixes both problems.
You're already delivering Power Platform work and want to add AI capabilities to your engagements. AI-enhanced solutions command higher rates — this course teaches you how to build and sell them.
Weeks 1–9: master the platform. Week 10: unlock AI. Weeks 11–12: ship production-ready.
Everything in weeks 1–9 was building toward this. Now you deploy it with AI.
Senior Power Platform Developer | Founder, NextGen PowerApps
Jerome has spent years building enterprise-grade Power Platform solutions for Fortune 500 clients across finance, energy, and healthcare. He's architected apps used by thousands of employees, designed approval workflows that replaced legacy systems, and integrated Power Platform with Azure, SharePoint, and external APIs at scale.
As AI capabilities entered the Power Platform, Jerome was using them on real client projects — not demos. He's built AI Builder document processing pipelines, integrated Azure OpenAI into production Power Apps, and used Copilot to accelerate delivery on engagements where every hour counted.
He built NextGen PowerApps to teach what courses and certifications leave out: the real-world skills, the AI tools that actually matter, and the consulting mindset that turns technical ability into a career or a business.

"I tried using Copilot before taking this course and had no idea why it kept generating broken formulas. After week 3 I understood delegation, and suddenly Copilot's output actually made sense. Now I use it every day and I know exactly when to trust it and when to override it."

"The AI Builder module alone changed what I can offer clients. I built an invoice processing flow in a day that would have taken a week of manual work. Jerome doesn't just show you the feature — he shows you how to design the data model that makes it actually useful."

IT Consultant, Independent
"I kept seeing 'AI-powered' in job descriptions and had no idea what it meant in a Power Platform context. This course is the only one I found that actually teaches you the AI tools properly — not as an add-on, but as something you build toward. Got a developer title two months after finishing."

No. Power Platform uses a low-code approach — you'll use formulas and logic, but not traditional programming languages. If you can use Excel, you have everything you need to start. The AI tools in the course actually make certain things easier for non-coders — but only if you understand the fundamentals first.
Plan for 5–8 hours per week. This includes video lessons (2–3 hrs), hands-on project work (2–3 hrs), and the live Q&A call (1 hr). The pace is deliberately achievable for working professionals.
No problem. You have lifetime access to all content, so you can go at your own pace. Q&A calls are recorded if you miss them. The Slack community is active and Jerome checks in regularly.
Both. The course is weighted toward Canvas Apps (weeks 1–4) because that's where most real-world custom development happens. Model-Driven Apps are covered in week 11, with a focus on when to use each type and how to combine them. The AI module in week 10 covers Copilot features available in both.
Yes. You get access to the private Slack community where Jerome is active, plus weekly live Q&A calls. This is not a course where you submit a support ticket and wait 5 days for a reply from a TA.
There's a 30-day money-back guarantee. If you complete the first four weeks and feel the course isn't delivering value, email jerome@nextgenpowerapps.com and you'll receive a full refund — no questions asked.
This course will build the deep practical knowledge that makes certifications much easier to pass — covering material tested in PL-100 and PL-200 across multiple modules. It is not a certification prep course. It's a skills course. Real skills lead to certifications, not the other way around.
Yes — and this matters most for the AI content. Microsoft releases updates to Copilot, AI Builder, and Copilot Studio frequently. Jerome actively monitors these changes, uses them on real client projects, and updates course content when there are meaningful additions. Your lifetime access includes all updates at no extra cost.
