How to choose a PL-900 course

Match the July 2026 update. PL-900 changed on July 24, 2026: Power Pages left the skills measured and Copilot Studio agents came in. Pick a course updated after that date.
Build something yourself. Most PL-900 questions ask which Power Platform tool, app type or setting fits a business need. Build an app and a flow in the free Power Apps developer plan to see the differences.
Check the update date. Many third-party PL-900 courses were last updated before the July rewrite and miss Copilot Studio. Look at the date before you buy.
One short course is enough. The exam is 45 minutes and the official course takes about 6 hours. Use one course, then practice questions.
