Become a Dynamics 365 CE & Power Platform Consultant

Learn the real-world skills to move from beginner or admin to confident Consultant, Solution Architect, Contractor and eventually Consultancy Owner.

The UK Microsoft Business Applications market is moving beyond CRM screens and workflows into AI-enabled transformation. Dynamics 365, Power Platform, Dataverse, Copilot Studio and Azure AI are becoming the tools businesses use to automate work, connect data and introduce AI into everyday operations.

For ambitious UK consultants, this creates a powerful career path: permanent roles, consultancy delivery, solution architecture, contracting, limited company progression and eventually your own practice. The real opportunity is moving from “I can build this” to “I can lead the client, design the solution and advise on AI” — creating more income potential, control and freedom.

ConsultantReady teaches you how real Microsoft Business Applications projects are delivered.

Marcus Webb

Worth every cent.

Founder @ Northbound Studio

James O'Connor

I doubled my project rate within six weeks of graduating. The course doesn't just teach you to build sites — it teaches you to build sites worth charging for. I went from quoting $2k projects to closing $8k retainers, and the clients are happier because the work is genuinely better.

Freelance Web Designer

Aiko Tanaka

Clear, calm, and never bloated. Every lesson earned its place.

Independent Designer

Sarah Chen

This course completely rewired how I think about layout. I came in fighting CSS at every turn — flex was a guess, grid was a coin flip — and walked out building responsive systems from scratch without reaching for a template once. The fundamentals module is the part I keep coming back to.

Senior Designer @ Linear

Elena Vasquez

I've taken five courses on web design. This is the only one I actually finished — and the only one I'd recommend.

Creative Director @ Field Goods

Daniel Brookes

Finally a course that respects your time. I learned more in week one than I did in an entire year of YouTube tutorials and half-finished Udemy courses. The lessons are tight, the examples are real, and there's nothing in here you won't use within a month.

Design Engineer @ Rabbit

Priya Raman

The interactions chapter is gold. My portfolio finally feels alive instead of static, and I've already had two recruiters mention the motion work specifically.

Product Designer @ Notion

Tomás Albright

The publishing module took the mystery out of going live. I now ship client sites in days, not weeks.

UX Lead @ Hover

Olivia Marsh

The SEO section unlocked an entire revenue stream for my freelance work. I started offering it as an add-on the week I finished the module, and three of my last five clients have signed on for ongoing work because of it. Repeat business is the dream and this got me there.
