Customer outcome

Build PL-200 capability across the whole team, not one engineer

Assign the Power Platform Functional Consultant Associate (PL-200) course to the engineers who need it, and the team report shows who has started, who has finished — the view leadership uses to see Microsoft skills coverage across the team and where the gaps are.

See team pricing

Team capability

Make PL-200 a number on your team capability sheet, not a single engineer’s certificate.

Standardizing your team on PL-200 gives leadership a clear picture of Microsoft skills coverage — who has completed the training, who is still on the path, and where the gaps are — so staffing and escalation plans rest on known capability instead of on one engineer.
