Power Apps training in Geneva and Lausanne. 1 day to develop your low-code Microsoft Power Apps applications at ITTA Switzerland.
Microsoft Power Apps is the Power Platform tool dedicated to creating business applications in low-code. Initially launched as PowerApps in 2016, rebranded Power Apps in 2019, it has progressively allowed non-developer profiles (Citizen Developers, Makers) to build applications useful to their business without going through a classic development cycle. The traditional line between IT Pro and end user has shifted: simple needs (structured form, request tracking, light stock management, field application) are now feasible in a few days by an equipped Maker, rather than several months by a development team.
Power Apps comes in two formats. Canvas applications (canvas apps) rely on free design, drag-and-drop, Power Fx formulas (inspired by Excel), and suit well custom business applications, particularly mobile ones. Model-driven applications rely on the Dataverse schema and generate a standard interface from the model: well suited to CRM-like applications, case management, structured process management. Both formats share a common Dataverse base for storage and over a thousand connectors to Microsoft 365, Dynamics 365, SharePoint, Excel, SQL Server, Azure and many third-party services.
The Microsoft Power Apps – Developing Applications course is designed for business users, Citizen Developers, Power Platform Makers and IT Pros wanting to master Power Apps in depth. The programme covers the Power Apps Studio environment, the canvas vs model-driven distinction, creation of canvas applications (screens, controls, forms, galleries), Power Fx formulas (conditional logic, date functions, filter, search, collection manipulation), connection to data sources (Dataverse, SharePoint, Excel, SQL Server, Microsoft 365 connectors), responsive screen design (mobile, tablet, desktop), creation of edit forms linked to a source, variable and collection management, Power Automate integration to trigger flows from the application, security (sharing per user, per group), and publishing in development then production environments. The model-driven section introduces Dataverse modelling, views, standard forms and generated dashboards.
Power Apps fits in a very complementary Power Platform family of tools. The Microsoft Power Platform publisher regroups Power Apps, Power Automate, Power BI and Copilot Studio with a platform vision. The Microsoft Power Automate publisher is very complementary as Power Apps frequently calls Power Automate flows to orchestrate tasks (email sending, approval, cross-system update). The Microsoft Office 365 publisher covers the main data sources used by Power Apps (SharePoint, Excel, Outlook, OneDrive, Teams). For more generic no-code application creation uses, the low-code app development sub-domain regroups low-code approaches.
On-site inspection, incident reporting, field photo sent to SharePoint, geolocation. Power Apps mobile canvas, SharePoint or Dataverse source, integration of smartphone camera and GPS.
Request form (leave, purchase, access, equipment), hierarchical validation via Power Automate, status tracking, Teams notifications. Power Apps + Power Automate combination, Dataverse or SharePoint source.
Case portfolio management, light sales tracking, simple asset management. Model-driven app on Dataverse, inheriting standard functions (views, sorting, filters, exports).
Many organisations use shared Excel files to manage simple lists (clients, projects, contacts). Power Apps allows transforming these files into applications with access controls, clean data entry forms and reporting.
Several trends shape Power Apps in 2026. Copilot in Power Apps allows generating an application from a natural language description (“I want a leave request management application with manager validation”) and refining it through dialogue. Generative AI integrated into the runtime allows including intelligent assistants in the applications themselves. Integration with Dataverse becomes the standard for new applications, due to functional richness (relations, security, audit, business rules) compared to SharePoint. Power Apps for Teams (formerly Project Oakdale) offers a simplified experience to create applications directly in Teams, further lowering the barrier for non-IT profiles. Power Platform governance (CoE Toolkit, DLP, environments) remains a central topic in organisations with strong Maker adoption.
Canvas or model-driven: which to choose?
Canvas for mobile, field, custom visual applications, or external data sources (SharePoint, Excel, SQL, third-party APIs). Model-driven for structured business applications on Dataverse (CRM-like, case management, standard processes). Many organisations start with canvas and switch to model-driven as needs structure.
Do I need to know how to code to do Power Apps?
Not in the classic sense. Power Apps uses Power Fx, an expression syntax inspired by Excel. If you are comfortable with advanced Excel formulas, you will be productive quickly. For advanced functions (complex conditional logic, collection manipulation, API integration), training is very useful.
Power Apps vs classic development: when to switch?
Power Apps is well suited to internal business applications of low to medium complexity (forms, tracking, mobile field). For applications with high volume, very specific business logic, complex integrations, critical performance, classic development (.NET, web app) often remains more relevant.
What Power Apps licence is needed?
Some Microsoft 365 licences include Power Apps with standard connectors. Premium connectors, Dataverse and advanced uses require dedicated Power Apps licences (per app or per user). Our trainer takes stock at the start of the session according to your context.
Our Power Apps sessions are scheduled in Geneva, Lausanne and interactive virtual classroom with a live trainer. The format is very practice-oriented on a real Microsoft 365 tenant with construction of a canvas application end-to-end (from mock-up to publishing) and model-driven introduction. For organisations engaged in Power Platform adoption at scale (Citizen Developer Program), we offer in-house sessions calibrated on your context (governance, environments, data sources, naming conventions). Material modalities communicated by the education team in advance.
ITTA offers a coherent Power Platform catalogue covering Power Apps, Power Automate, Power BI and Copilot Studio. This continuity allows building an integrated platform vision rather than per-tool silos, and helps Makers arbitrate between Power Apps application, Power Automate flow, Power BI report or Copilot Studio agent according to need. Our Power Platform trainers are Makers active on real projects in French-speaking Switzerland, able to illustrate best practices with concrete examples. Sessions in Geneva, Lausanne and interactive virtual classroom, in-house and inter-company.
