Mic­ro­soft PL-900 (Power Platform Fun­da­men­tals)

Microsoft substantially refreshed the skills measured on 24 July 2026. 'Demonstrate the capabilities of Power Pages' was removed as its own exam domain — Power Pages now appears only as a single business-value point. A brand-new domain was added: 'Describe features and capabilities of agents in Microsoft Copilot Studio', worth 20–25% of the exam, covering agents, knowledge sources, tools including MCP servers, and agent flows. New sub-topics also appeared, including Plan Designer, code apps, and building apps, flows and agents through AI-powered conversational creation.

Five domains, as of the 24 July 2026 skills measured: Describe the business value of Microsoft Power Platform (5–10%); Manage the Microsoft Power Platform environment (20–25%) — Dataverse, Power Fx, environments, security and governance; Demonstrate the capabilities of Power Apps (20–25%) — canvas, model-driven and code apps; Demonstrate the capabilities of Power Automate (20–25%) — cloud and desktop flows; and Describe features and capabilities of agents in Microsoft Copilot Studio (20–25%).

The pass score is 700 out of 1000. Microsoft's fundamentals exams give you 45 minutes to complete the assessment. The UK price is £64, booked through Pearson VUE, or Certiport for students.

No. Microsoft says you can use PL-900 to prepare for role-based certifications, but it is not a formal prerequisite for any of them. It is the beginner-level, App Maker-facing certification in the Power Platform family.

Copilot Studio is the current name for Microsoft's platform for building agents — it absorbed and replaced the older Power Virtual Agents product. PL-900's newest domain tests Copilot Studio agent concepts using this current naming, so study material that still refers to Power Virtual Agents as a separate current product is out of date.

Microsoft's foundation-level Power Platform certification for the App Maker role - building apps, flows and agents with low-code tools. Business analyst / citizen developer: Microsoft aims PL-900 at people who want to build tailored business solutions with Power Apps, Power Automate and Copilot Studio. App maker (Microsoft role tag): Microsoft tags PL-900 to the App Maker role on the certification page. Junior software / app developer: Useful preparation for role-based Power Platform certifications, though not a formal prerequisite for any of them.

PL-900 (Microsoft Power Platform Fundamentals) is Microsoft's entry-level Power Platform certification, for the App Maker role. Verified against Microsoft Learn in September 2026: the skills measured were substantially refreshed on 24 July 2026. The exam that changed carries five domains — 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%), and a brand-new Describe features and capabilities of agents in Microsoft Copilot Studio (20–25%); the pass score is 700 out of 1000; Microsoft's fundamentals exams run 45 minutes; the UK price is £64 through Pearson VUE, or Certiport for students. The July 2026 refresh removed 'Demonstrate the capabilities of Power Pages' as its own domain — Power Pages now appears only as a single business-value point — and added the Copilot Studio agents domain (agents, topics, knowledge sources, tools including MCP servers, agent flows, and managing and monitoring agents), plus new sub-topics such as Plan Designer, code apps, and building apps, flows and agents through AI-powered conversational creation. PassNova's questions are written from the current official learning path and use Microsoft's current terminology — Copilot Studio, not the older 'Power Virtual Agents' name. If your study material still talks about building Power Pages sites as a scored skill, it is out of date. Check the study guide before you book.
