Exam Voucher Included

Your PL-400 Exam Voucher Is Included

The $165 voucher is part of the price rather than an add-on, and it covers the exam under whichever code applies when you sit it.

Free Retake

Backed by Our Free Retake Guarantee

If you do not pass PL-400 on the first attempt, your retake is covered, so a single bad morning does not cost you the certification.

Hands-On Labs

Hosted Dataverse and Developer Tooling

A hosted Dataverse environment with the Power Platform CLI and Visual Studio Code ready, so no local setup eats into the first morning.

Domain-Mapped Practice

Practice Mapped to the Four Domains

Questions tied to each of the four published domains rather than a generic developer pool, so gaps surface while there is still time.

180 Days of Support

180 Days of One-to-One Instructor Help

Your instructor stays reachable for a full 180 days after class, which is exactly when the PL-400 questions that actually matter turn up.

Rename-Proof

Taught to the Incoming AB-400 Outline

PL-400 becomes AB-400 on 16 October 2026, so the week teaches the AB-400 outline and stays correct on either side of that changeover.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    PL-400 and AB-400 Boot Camp Questions, Answered
    AB-400

    Real questions from real professionals who passed.
    Here's how we answer them.

    Microsoft Certified: Power Platform Developer Associate. That certification is unchanged by the exam rename: PL-400 earns it today, AB-400 earns it from 16 October 2026.

    It is being renamed. Microsoft has published three dates. Registration for PL-400 closes on 16 October 2026 and registration opens exclusively for AB-400 the same day. Anyone who registered for PL-400 on or before 16 October can still schedule and sit it through 30 October 2026. The updated AB-400 exam is available from 16 October 2026.

    If you can sit before 30 October 2026 and you are already registered, PL-400 still counts. Otherwise book AB-400. We teach the AB-400 skills outline either way, because that is the version Microsoft publishes as current from 16 October.

    5 days of live, instructor-led PL-400 training from Official Microsoft Courseware, delivered online or in person. Class runs 9am to 5pm, the labs are hosted so you need only a laptop, and test day is scheduled for Friday.

    Yes. Your $165 PL-400 exam voucher is included with your enrollment. Nothing further is owed on test day, and the voucher stays valid if you would rather book the exam later.

    Microsoft has not published an exam length for AB-400 yet. 100 minutes is Microsoft’s standard for this type of role-based exam, with 120 minutes when a form includes labs, so confirm the timing when you book. Expect between 40 and 60 questions and a scaled score of 700 out of 1000 to pass.

    Four, weighted as published by Microsoft: Build Microsoft Power Platform solutions (15-20%); Extend the user experience (25-30%); Extend Microsoft Power Platform (35-40%); Develop integrations (10-15%).

    The AI and agent material. The heaviest domain now covers Power Platform managed identity for plug-ins, the Dataverse SDKs for .NET and Python, MCP servers, integrating custom agents with Dataverse through Work IQ, and consuming Copilot Studio agents from the Copilot Studio client library. Code apps also appear throughout the user experience domain alongside PCF and Client API.

    Developers who already write C#, JavaScript or TypeScript and are building on Dataverse: plug-ins, custom APIs, PCF components, code apps, custom connectors and integrations into Azure.

    Microsoft enforces no prerequisite certification. It does assume working knowledge of Power Platform services, JavaScript, JSON, TypeScript, Power Fx, C#, Python, HTML, YAML, RESTful web APIs and Azure. If none of that is familiar, start with PL-900 or AB-410.

    Your retake is covered by our Free Retake Guarantee. You return for the full PL-400 course at no cost and sit the exam again, keeping 180 days of instructor support to work through whatever tripped you up.

    Yes. We run private cohorts online or at your site, and can shape the labs around your own solution architecture. Private PL-400 cohorts run to your own schedule, and the agenda can lean toward the parts of the blueprint your team actually uses.

    Many of our courses are approved. Eligibility for the PL-400 boot camp depends on the program and your location, so check our military and veterans page or contact us before enrolling.

    Low-code hits a ceiling, and this is the credential for the people who work above it. Microsoft is renaming the exam, which makes current training worth more than older material.

    It is a genuine developer exam. Plug-ins, custom connectors and Dataverse integration all assume you can write and debug code rather than configure it.

    Power Platform developer, Dynamics 365 developer, and solution developers extending Dataverse beyond what the designers can reach.
