Bunya Builder Accelerator

Go from beginner to AI-powered Power Platform consultant

A practical pathway for grads, career changers, analysts, and self-taught builders who want to become credible Power Platform consultants with AI as a normal part of how they learn and deliver.

Who this is for

We can create Power Platform talent, not just hire it.

The market needs more builders who can think clearly, use AI responsibly, and ship practical software. The Accelerator is designed to create that capability from raw potential.

Graduates who want a practical path into Power Platform delivery

Career changers who want a faster route into consulting work

Analysts and business users who already solve problems with spreadsheets

Self-taught builders who need structure, review, and portfolio evidence

The pathway

Learn the platform and the delivery habits together.

The aim is not just tool familiarity. The aim is to build people who can understand a problem, use AI wisely, create a working solution, explain it, and support it.

Phase 1

Platform foundations

Power Apps, Power Automate, Power BI, Dataverse, Copilot Studio, and when to use each tool

AI-safe prompting habits for specs, formulas, expressions, data modelling, and documentation

The support and governance basics that separate hobby builds from business software

Phase 2

Build useful things

Create a canvas app, approval automation, dashboard, Dataverse model, and Copilot Studio agent

Use AI to speed up implementation while learning how to verify and improve the output

Explain your build decisions like a consultant, not just a learner following steps

Phase 3

Consultant readiness

Complete a capstone that looks like real client work and can be reviewed by Bunya

Prepare portfolio artefacts, demo scripts, handover notes, and interview-ready explanations

Map next steps into Microsoft certification, Bunya opportunities, or partner consulting teams

Capstone work

Builders prove skill by building useful things.

Every learner works toward practical evidence. The best portfolio is not a certificate by itself. It is a set of working solutions and the ability to explain the decisions.

Operations request app with approval flow and audit trail

Power BI dashboard with AI-assisted narrative and DAX review

Dataverse-backed model-driven app for a client-style process

Copilot Studio knowledge agent with guardrails and handoff path

Support runbook, test plan, release notes, and handover guide

Outcomes

The goal is consultant readiness.

Portfolio evidence

Leave with projects, demo notes, documentation, and review-ready examples that show what you can actually build.

Certification direction

Use the pathway to prepare for Microsoft Power Platform fundamentals and role-based certification next steps.

Consulting readiness

Learn how to explain requirements, ask better questions, present options, and hand work over responsibly.

Talent pathway

Strong builders can become candidates for Bunya, partner firms, or internal Power Platform roles.

First cohort

Start with people who are hungry enough to learn fast.

We will use the first cohort to refine the pathway, review capstones, and identify the builders who are ready for real delivery opportunities.

AI-first habits

Use AI as an accelerator while learning how to verify, improve, and explain the output.

Full platform range

Apps, flows, reports, Dataverse, Copilot Studio, documentation, and governance basics.

Professional standards

Build with supportability, handover, review, and client-safe AI behaviour from the start.
