Course Overview
About Course
Microsoft Dynamics 365 Customer Engagement (CE) is a powerful cloud-based CRM suite that empowers organizations to manage sales, customer service, marketing, and field operations. This 40‑hour training delivers comprehensive, hands-on instruction to prepare professionals for configuring, customizing, and managing Dynamics environments effectively.
The program begins with a solid introduction to CRM fundamentals and Dynamics 365 CE architecture, enabling participants to navigate the platform confidently. In-depth data modeling and configuration modules guide learners through entity design, business rules, forms, and views—laying the groundwork for business process automation. Following this, advanced automation with workflows, Business Process Flows, and Power Automate ensures streamlined operations.
Security configuration is emphasized early, teaching how to implement Access Control through business units, roles, teams, and field-level security for compliant multi-user environments. UI Customization enhances user engagement—covering dashboards, charts, model-driven apps, and mobile layouts.
Robust data management modules use Data Loader and duplicate detection strategies to maintain data integrity, while integrations with Outlook and the Power Platform broaden the solution’s reach. Reporting capabilities, including embedded Power BI and scheduled dashboards, ensure actionable insights.
Solution management training introduces best practices for managed/unmanaged solutions, deployment pipelines, and Application Lifecycle Management. Participants also learn lightweight technical extensions through JavaScript and C# plug-ins, positioning them to bridge the gap between administration and development.
A capstone project challenges learners to build a complete, real-world Dynamics solution encompassing core and advanced components—from data modeling to reporting and deployment. Paired with live instruction, certifications prep, and career support—including mock interviews and job placement assistance—graduates walk away ready to assume roles as Dynamics 365 Administrators, Functional Consultants, or CRM Specialists. This training not only builds platform competency but also ensures career confidence in the evolving CRM landscape.
