Course Description
This course covers the content required for the PL-900 certification exam, current as per the PL-900 exam update of July 2026.
Note: there was a significant change in the PL-900 requirements in July 2026. Because some students want to continue watching the previous version of the course, then temporarily:
Sections 1-11 contain the new version of the course for the new version of the PL-900 course.
Sections 12 onwards contain the previous version of the course. This will shortly be removed from this course.
Please note: This course is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by Microsoft.

Madeline says: "Scored a 740 out of 700 with this course and a few weeks of hands on power BI. It was my very first MS test. Thanks for the course!"
This course is the foundation for the Microsoft Certificate PL-900 "Microsoft Power Platform Fundamentals", and focuses on the various apps which make up the Power Platform, together with how they can be used by other programs, apps and services.
I’ll show you how to sign up to the Power Apps Developer Plan for free, to give you practical access when you need it.
We’ll start with Power Apps. We will add some tables into our Dataverse using AI. We'll also use AI to create a canvas Power App, allowing for a pixel-perfect user interface, and a model-driven Power App, which allows you and the user to concentrate on the data instead of the interface.
We’ll then investigate Power Automate. We’ll look at how it can transfer data from one data source to another, while manipulating the data. We’ll look at the various types of flows, such as automated flows, which run when data has been added, and scheduled flows, which run on a calendar basis.
Finally, we’ll look at Copilot Studio, which can create agents for your customer; the AI Builder, which uses Artificial Intelligence to process things such as forms, business cards, images and text; and much more.
We'll finish off by looking at how Power Platform can extend other business solutions, and some Power Platform administration and security.
No prior knowledge is required - we'll even see how to get a free Power Platform trial!
Once you have completed this course, you will have a good introductory knowledge of Power Platform and what the capacities of these different apps are. And with some practice, you could even go for the official Microsoft certification PL-900 - wouldn't that look good on your CV, resume or LinkedIn profile? And if you are an American college student, you might even get college credit for passing that exam.

The course was very informative and well structured. It covers all the concepts in detail and provided plenty of useful information. The explanations were clear and easy to understand, making it a valuable learning experience.

Probably not the entire fault of the training but more of online training - I am interested in the subject but I still get sleepy
By Frank Guo on 7/1/2026
The instructor is very knowledgeable and goes through good examples to introduce students to the Power Platform. However, personally I'd appreciate more if the instructor first explains the theory and concepts more before jumping straight into demonstrations. In particular, I find it hard to follow when the instructor uses terms or explains an item (such as Area, Groups, Subgroups) in terms of function but lacking real-life application examples. Finally, in my opinion it will be good for the instructor to go through some real world use cases for various functions. For example, I may learn about canvas apps and model driven apps, but it will be good for the instructor to go over some real life scenarios on which fits better in some particular situations.

Excellent course! While I still had to use other resources to get fully ready for the exam, this course was key in getting familiar with Power Platform. I aced the exam on my first try. Thank you!
By Mychelle Taawan on 3/1/2026
I already got a good background of the the power platforms even on the first video. I'm enjoying and I am happy with the new knowledge I am gaining so far. Way to go for me.
By Rei Li on 2/17/2026
Thanks to this excellent course, I passed the PL‑900 exam. Your explanations were clear, practical, and very helpful. Thank you Mr. Phillip for creating such a valuable learning experience.
By Jana Kahle on 2/17/2026
Good and clear explanations, especially for beginners. Before, I was only using the Microsoft Learning Path and as a beginner I had difficulties navigating the system using only the Microsoft path as it is lacking pictures and videos. This course however, shows every step in detail, thank you Phillip! I passed the certificate on my first try!
By Anonymized User on 1/7/2026
The course is well structured and concept is explained in easy language , it covers every topic in detail not too much but that's enough, it would be even better if it include a exercises, but still I highly recommend it.
By Vijaya Kumar Kondanti on 12/27/2025
Thank you so much, Phillip Burton sir! The way you explained everything made the Power Platform concepts really easy to understand. I especially liked how you broke down Power Apps, Power Automate, Dataverse, and Power BI in a simple and practical way. Thank you!!
By Noah Bell on 12/9/2025
The training was provided in an engaging way and was easy to follow. The provided practice tests seemed applicable, and I appreciate the real-world scenarios. The only thing that kept me from 5 stars is that in a few places the instructor seemed to cover the same topics over again and it lost my attention. Overall a great prep course for the PL-900
