Frequently Asked Questions
What is the latest Microsoft Power Platform certification roadmap?
The roadmap progresses from fundamentals (PL-900, AB-900, AB-730) to associate-level building (AB-410, AB-620, AB-400) and finally to expert and leadership certifications (AB-100, AB-731). This page is a curated learning guide by Instrovate — Microsoft Learn remains the official source for certification requirements.
What is the difference between AB-410 and AB-620?
AB-410 (Intelligent Applications Builder) focuses on building AI-powered business applications with Power Apps, Power Automate, and Dataverse. AB-620 (AI Agent Builder) focuses on designing and building AI agents with Microsoft Copilot Studio, including knowledge sources, tools, and multi-agent solutions.
Which Microsoft certification is relevant for Power Platform developers?
AB-400 — the Power Platform Developer Associate certification. It covers professional, code-first development: PCF components, Dataverse plug-ins, custom connectors, and integrations. It succeeds the earlier PL-400 exam.
Which certification focuses on AI agent building?
AB-620 (AI Agent Builder Associate) is the dedicated certification for building agents with Microsoft Copilot Studio.
How long does each Instrovate training programme take, and what does it cost?
1-day courses (PL-900, AB-900, AB-730, AB-731) are AED 2,015; 3-day courses (AB-100, AB-410, AB-620) are AED 5,485; the 5-day AB-400 developer course is AED 8,425. All are live, instructor-led by a Microsoft Certified Trainer.
What should I study before moving into enterprise AI architecture?
A strong path is PL-900 for fundamentals, then AB-410 and AB-620 for building intelligent apps and agents, before attempting AB-100 (Agentic AI Business Solutions Architect Expert). Note that AB-100 has its own exam and prerequisite Associate certification requirements — check Microsoft Learn for details.
