igmGuru's Power Platform Solution Architect course is an instructor-led training program designed for Power Platform consultants, developers, and solution architects who want to build end-to-end enterprise solutions. The Power Platform Solution Architect training covers the complete solution architect skill set, including business requirement analysis, solution design, environment strategy, security architecture, data modelling, integration patterns, governance, and best practices for enterprise deployments. Since the PL-600 certification has been retired, this course concludes with a dedicated module that maps these core architecture concepts to the Microsoft Applied Skills AB-100 assessment, covering agentic AI, multi-agent solutions, and Microsoft Copilot Studio. This ensures you gain a strong Power Platform architecture foundation while preparing for Microsoft's latest expert-level solution architecture requirements.
There is no single mandatory prerequisite, but candidates get the most value when they already have:
This course is built for professionals who already work inside the Power Platform ecosystem and now need to operate - or get certified - at an architect level.
Architecture skills at this level open doors to senior, higher-paying roles across the Microsoft ecosystem and beyond.
igmGuru designed this course around where the certification landscape actually stands today, not where it stood a year ago.
Here is exactly where things stand as of mid-2026, so you can plan your certification path with accurate information.
PL-600 (Microsoft Power Platform Solution Architect Expert)
This exam retired on June 30, 2026, and can no longer be scheduled or taken. Anyone who passed it before that date keeps the credential on their Microsoft transcript, but it cannot be renewed under the old exam and carries less current weight with employers over time.
AB-100 (Agentic AI Business Solutions Architect Expert)
Microsoft's recommended next step for Power Platform and Dynamics 365 solution architects. AB-100 covers planning, designing, and deploying agentic AI business solutions across Copilot Studio, Microsoft Foundry, and Dynamics 365, including multi-agent orchestration, MCP/A2A protocols, and responsible AI governance. Several training providers note it benefits from prior associate-level AI credentials (such as AB-730 or AB-731); we help you assess readiness in the enrollment call.
igmGuru issues a course completion certificate for this program covering the architecture curriculum above. This is a training completion certificate, not a Microsoft certification - Microsoft certifications are earned only by passing Microsoft's own proctored exams.
No. Microsoft retired the PL-600 exam on June 30, 2026. It cannot be scheduled or passed anymore, though existing certifications remain on your transcript.
Microsoft has not announced a direct one-to-one replacement. It recommends AB-100 (Agentic AI Business Solutions Architect Exp
ert) as the closest expert-level path for solution architects.
Yes. The skills - data modelling, security design, integration architecture, ALM — are the foundation employers expect from a solution architect, and they carry directly into AB-100 and real project work, exam or no exam.
They're not mandatory, but 2–3 years of hands-on Power Platform experience or an associate-level certification is strongly recommended.
It's delivered live by an instructor, with recordings and lab access available afterward for self-paced review.
Yes. Module 6 is a dedicated bridge into agentic AI solution design, multi-agent orchestration, and Copilot Studio, mapped to AB-100's exam domains.
You'll receive an igmGuru course completion certificate. It documents your training, not a Microsoft certification - Microsoft certifications require passing Microsoft's own exam.
Microsoft doesn't list a single hard prerequisite, though hands-on experience with Dynamics 365, Power Platform, Copilot Studio, and Azure AI services is strongly recommended, and some candidates first complete an associate-level AI credential.
This page is scoped specifically to solution architecture and certification planning - data, security, integration, ALM, and the PL-600-to-AB-100 transition - rather than general Power Platform app-building skills.
Yes, igmGuru offers a free demo session so you can review the instructor, curriculum, and lab environment before enrolling.
