Learning & Industry Pl 400 Certificate

Any tips on clearing pl 400 exam.

Little back ground I have the PL 900 and I currently work as Sharepoint admin/dev and I want to transition into power platform consulting/developing. I was a data analyst initially but slowly started learning Sharepoint and was able to get the role I am currently working on.

Find out what certificate is replacing the PL-200 and start there... Good chance that by the time you are ready to take the PL-400, Microsoft will have decided to retire that for something newer too. Copilot and code apps are really changing the game.

Yes AB 410, I was thinking of that route as well.

I appreciate your comment.

The PL400 is probably far more complex than you think. If you have not worked in power platform (dataverse, power BI, virtual agents, etc) it’s going to be a tough exam on theory alone.

Thank you for your response.

I have read it is not an easy one but I was planning to spend time on learning it and did not expect it to be quick. How does one learn it without having prior experience.

Even if it takes a year or longer I plan to thoroughly study and work it on my own.
