Power Platform Credentials Overview
The Power Platform certification path has grown into ten credentials across three levels, mixing full certifications with Applied Skills. I fit all of it onto a single page, sorted by difficulty and labeled with the solutions each one covers, so you can see the entire landscape in one look.

What you will learn from it
This infographic maps the entire Power Platform credentials landscape and organizes it by difficulty level, so you can see exactly where to begin and what comes next. It’s sectioned into three tiers:
- Beginner: Power Platform Fundamentals (PL-900) and the core solutions it introduces.
- Intermediate: the associate-level certifications (AB-410, PL-300, PL-400, AB-620) plus the Applied Skills for building agents, apps, and automated processes (APL-6006, APL-6000, APL-7001, APL-7002).
- Advanced: the expert-level architect credential (AB-100).
What makes this one different: under each credential I’ve listed the Included Solutions it actually covers — Dataverse, Canvas Apps, Model-Driven Apps, Cloud Flows, Power BI, Copilot Studio, Azure Functions, and more, so you can see what you’ll be working with, not just an exam code.

Who this isn’t for
This isn’t training or exam prep — it maps the credentials, it doesn’t teach the material or drill you on questions. It also assumes you’re working with (or planning to work with) Microsoft Power Platform; if that’s not your stack, this won’t help. It’s for people who want a clear route through the Power Platform certification maze, not a shortcut to passing any single exam.
