Who This PL-400 Course Is For
This Power Platform Developer training is built for developers who build, customize, and extend business applications on the Power Platform, writing plug-ins, custom connectors, and client-side code, and integrating with external services.

What You'll Learn in This Power Platform Developer Training
The PL-400 course is organized around the skill areas Microsoft assesses on the current exam, so every topic maps to real developer work:
- Create a technical design — translate business requirements into a solution design across Power Apps, Power Automate, and Microsoft Dataverse.
- Build Power Platform solutions — configure Microsoft Dataverse (tables, relationships, security), build model-driven and canvas Power Apps, and automate processes with Power Automate and Power Fx.
- Implement Power Apps improvements — enhance apps with custom business logic, performance tuning, and modern AI and Copilot capabilities.
- Extend the user experience — customize the client with code components (PCF), command bar buttons, and client scripting.
- Extend the platform — write plug-ins, build custom connectors, and integrate with Azure services and web APIs.
- Develop integrations — connect the Power Platform to external systems with event handling and the Dataverse Web API.
PL-400 Prerequisites
Unlike our fundamentals camps, the PL-400 certification is a developer-level credential. You should come in with software development experience, comfort with concepts like JavaScript, JSON, C#, REST APIs, and general application development plus basic familiarity with the Power Platform. You don't need to be an expert in Dataverse or Power Apps; the developer-specific skills are taught hands-on throughout the week.
