PL-200: Microsoft Power Platform Functional Consultant
A live course on configuring Microsoft Dataverse and building solutions with Power Apps, Power Automate and Copilot Studio. Built for people who want to do the job with confidence, not just pass a test.
Microsoft retired the PL-200 exam on 31 August 2026. The certification can no longer be earned, so nobody can sit this exam again. The course still runs live as a skills course, and you can reserve a seat on it. Ask us first and we will also tell you which current certification covers this ground.

What happened to the PL-200 exam
Microsoft retired PL-200 on 31 August 2026, so it can no longer be booked or sat and the certification cannot be earned. Everything the exam covered is still real work, which is why the course still runs. You reserve a seat, you train live with a trainer in the same small batch, and you leave able to do the job. Tell us your goal when you enquire and we will point you at the certification that covers this ground today.
Where this can take you
Common questions
Can I still sit the PL-200 exam?
No. Microsoft retired it on 31 August 2026, so it can no longer be booked and the certification cannot be earned. The course still runs live as a skills course and you can reserve a seat on it. Ask us and we will tell you which current certification covers the same ground.
Is this live or recorded?
Every session is live and instructor-led over Microsoft Teams. There are no pre-recorded videos. You learn with a real trainer and a small group.
When does the next batch start?
Batches form on a rolling basis. Send an enquiry and we will reply with the next available start date and times that fit your schedule.
How are session times decided?
Once you enquire, we set up a short Microsoft Teams call to agree the days and times that work for the batch.
Do you include hands-on labs?
Yes. You practise in a real environment throughout the PL-200 course, so the exam tasks feel routine by the time you sit it.
Ready to join the next PL-200 batch?
The exam has retired, the skills have not. Send an enquiry and we will confirm the next live start date, then set a time together over Teams.
