One day on the five published PL-900 skill areas, including the Copilot Studio agent material Microsoft added in 2026. Exam voucher included.
Exam Protection Included
Authorized Training
1 day for business users, analysts and makers about to be handed a Power Platform environment, plus developers using PL-900 as the way in. You leave exam-ready, not just briefed.
PL-900 is a 45 minute exam with no prerequisites, and the July 2026 blueprint gives a fifth of it to Copilot Studio agents. One day, all five skill areas, then the exam.
Official Microsoft Courseware for PL-900T00-A, plus Training Camp’s own exam prep built on top of it.
$99 exam voucher included with your enrollment. No surprise costs, no separate booking.
Practice questions mapped to all five published skill areas, instructor-led review of every answer choice, and a readiness check before you sit.
Immersive classroom instruction with direct instructor access, hands-on labs and peer collaboration.
The same instructors and curriculum, delivered live from anywhere on our virtual learning platform.

The $99 PL-900 voucher is part of the price rather than an add-on, so the fundamentals exam costs you nothing further on the day.
If you do not pass PL-900 on the first attempt, your retake is covered, so a single bad morning does not cost you the certification.
Hosted Power Platform environments with Power Apps, Power Automate and Copilot Studio provisioned, so you are building inside the first hour.
Questions tied to each of the five published PL-900 skill areas rather than a generic Power Platform pool, so weak spots show up by area.
Your instructor stays reachable for a full 180 days after class, which is exactly when the PL-900 questions that actually matter turn up.
Built to the PL-900 skills outline updated 24 July 2026, which added the Copilot Studio agents that older courses still leave out.
A structured path designed for working professionals.
Each day builds on the last—momentum is everything.
5 skill areas, taught in exam weight order, with labs and a readiness review before you sit.
The credential, the capability, and the continued readiness — all in one boot camp.
Real questions from real professionals who passed.
Here's
how we answer them.
Passing PL-900 earns Microsoft Certified: Power Platform Fundamentals, a beginner-level Microsoft credential. It lands on your Microsoft Learn transcript once you pass, so employers can verify it directly from there.
1 day of live, instructor-led PL-900 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 Day 1.
Yes. Your $99 PL-900 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 gives you 45 minutes. Expect between 40 and 60 questions, and a scaled score of 700 out of 1000 to pass. Book it through Pearson VUE, either at a test center or online with a proctor.
Five skill areas, weighted as published by Microsoft: Describe the business value of Microsoft Power Platform (5-10%); Manage the Microsoft Power Platform environment (20-25%); Demonstrate the capabilities of Power Apps (20-25%); Demonstrate the capabilities of Power Automate (20-25%); Describe features and capabilities of agents in Microsoft Copilot Studio (20-25%).
Yes. The skills measured were updated on 24 July 2026. Copilot Studio agents now carry a fifth of the exam on their own, and the Power Apps and Power Automate areas both ask how AI is used to create and modify apps and flows. We teach to that version.
Microsoft writes this exam for the app maker role: business users, analysts, functional consultants and anyone about to be handed a Power Platform environment. Developers taking it as a stepping stone to PL-400 or AB-410 also fit.
None. Microsoft enforces no prerequisite certification for PL-900 and the exam assumes no prior Power Platform experience.
Microsoft applies its fundamentals policy to PL-900, so there is no annual renewal assessment. The associate and expert credentials above it do renew each year.
AB-410 if you want to build intelligent applications with low code, PL-400 or AB-400 if you write code against the platform, and PL-300 if your work is reporting and Power BI.
Your retake is covered by our Free Retake Guarantee. You return for the full PL-900 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 adjust the agenda to the environments your team actually uses. Private PL-900 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-900 boot camp depends on the program and your location, so check our military and veterans page or contact us before enrolling.
Power Platform stopped being a spreadsheet replacement some time ago, and PL-900 is the shortest honest route to understanding what it now does.
A fundamentals exam, so the difficulty is coverage rather than depth. Power Apps, Power Automate, Power BI, Dataverse and Copilot Studio all appear.
Business analysts, citizen developers and functional consultants, plus IT staff who need to govern what the business is already building.
Exam changes, study guidance and career context for PL-900, from our instructors.
