Frequently asked questions
Who should take PL-200?
PL-200 was for Power Platform functional consultants, low-code consultants, and business-applications consultants working with Dataverse, Power Apps, and Power Automate. Microsoft retired the exam on August 31, 2026, so new candidates can no longer take it.
For a current Power Platform associate credential, see Microsoft's Intelligent Applications Builder Associate (AB-410).
What is the average salary for a Power Platform Functional Consultant?
Pearson Carter's 2026 Microsoft Business Applications salary guide lists U.S. Power Platform Consultant salaries at $110,000 lower, $138,000 midpoint, and $165,000 upper. The guide uses the broader consultant role label; actual pay varies by experience, location, and employer.
How should I prepare for PL-200?
PL-200 retired on August 31, 2026, so you can no longer take it. For a current Power Platform associate credential, use the free AB-410T00 Course on Microsoft Learn and review the AB-410 certification page. Microsoft has not yet released an AB-410 Practice Assessment.
Avoid exam dumps: using them can invalidate your score, revoke certifications you already hold, and bar you from future exams.
You can search the Microsoft Training Services Partners directory for instructor-led options. Current provider listings quote $1,495 for AB-410T00 at Instrovate and $1,895 at New Horizons. These are AB-410 training options, not preparation for the retired PL-200 exam; confirm availability and current pricing with each provider.
Does the exam include official labs I can use to practice?
If you purchase instructor-led training, Microsoft Training Services Partners usually provide access to official labs for about 90 days. Always check that the labs are from a Microsoft partner such as Skillable.
Depending on the exam, a trial licence could include demo data to practise with, but this is not guaranteed and Microsoft often changes its policies about free trials with demo data. If you prefer hands-on learning using labs, contact a Microsoft Training Services Partner for instructor-led training.
