Prerequisites and requirements

Published requirements for this certification.

  • Working knowledge of Microsoft Dataverse tables, relationships, and business rules
  • Familiarity with AI Builder, Copilot Studio, and Power Automate
  • Basic understanding of solution lifecycle and environment governance

Who this exam is for

This certification is appropriate for low-code developers, solution builders, and functional specialists who create applications for the Microsoft Power Platform. It also benefits consultants and technical analysts who shape Dataverse data models and automate workflows. Candidates should have practical experience with Power Apps, Power Automate, and Microsoft Dataverse, and they should be comfortable working with AI Builder or Copilot Studio. The role involves building solutions that serve business teams while following security, compliance, and lifecycle best practices. It is not primarily an entry-level credential; candidates are expected to know key concepts such as environments, solutions, connectors, flows, and table relationships before attempting the exam. Developers coming from traditional programming can also pursue this certification to expand their skills with low-code intelligent application platforms and to understand Microsoft best practices for citizen-led development. Learning supports, documentation, and official Microsoft learning paths are useful preparation. Organizations looking to build an internal intelligent app capability will recognize this credential as practical evidence of solution-building maturity.

How demanding this exam is

Cognitive load
The exam requires attention across data modeling, solution architecture, AI integration, and process automation. Candidates must switch between visual builders, Power Fx expressions, and administrative settings. This blended load makes the certification more demanding than a single-product credential.

Our focus for this certification: Certilum courses emphasize practical scenario-based labs that mirror Microsoft exam tasks. Learners complete guided projects in environment setup, data modeling, app creation, AI infusions, and automation orchestration. Quizzes and performance assessments identify weak areas before the actual exam.
