Objectives

Low code is the software development paradigm of the future. It's simple to build personalised, professional-level business applications that run on computers, mobile phones and tablets, even by users without advanced knowledge of programming languages.

These applications, with little or no code, developed in Microsoft Power Apps, are capable of digitising your business processes, modernising and replacing manual procedures on paper, email and spreadsheets. The result? A significant increase in productivity and greater management efficiency.

At the end of the training, trainees should have acquired the necessary skills to enable them to develop PC and mobile applications tailored to organisational processes, as well as discover opportunities for automation and optimisation of resources in their organisations.

A professional training certificate will be issued on the SIGO platform, in accordance with Ordinance No. 474/2010 of July 8, for residents in Portugal who successfully complete the training.

Testemunhos dos nossos formandos:

  • Testimonial Ricardo Vieira

    The training has a content with a wide range of options that makes it possible to explore all the layers of a first layer of interactivity between the user and the application, it was great for branching out the knowledge. The skills acquired are an asset in a market where information is worth as much or more than action/intervention and where the PowerApps created become an indispensable tool in capturing and organising this same information.
