Handbook
Certification Handbook for the Microsoft Power Platform.
Product language: German. An English edition is planned.
I have been working with the Power Platform since 2018 and built my knowledge through projects and Microsoft certifications. This handbook helps you plan your own path: you choose suitable credentials, learn with official sources and your own practice, organize the exam, and keep an eye on renewals.
- 265-page handbook
- 5 learning paths
- 19 exams
- from €199 plus VAT
01Who the handbook is for
Your path to certification, well planned.
For everyone who works with the Power Platform and wants to demonstrate their knowledge with Microsoft certifications, from an initial overview to the Expert title. For individuals studying on their own and teams planning their employee training.
- You choose from five clearly laid-out role paths, from maker to solution architect.
- You receive dated fact sheets on 19 active exams with direct links to official sources and learn how 6 Applied Skills credentials fit in as practical intermediate goals.
- You plan learning time, costs, exams, and renewals in one workbook.
- You work through the exam process with 7 printable checklists and 65 checkpoints.
- You correctly classify retired exams and earlier credentials.
My own path back then and today's exam catalog are clearly separated in the handbook. What I experienced myself is written in the first person. What applies today is backed by official, dated Microsoft sources.
02The learning paths
5 role paths, one clear plan.
You do not have to take all exams. You choose the path that suits your role, and the handbook shows the matching credentials, intermediate goals, and mandatory prerequisites.

06Questions and answers
Frequently asked questions
Can I start without prior knowledge?
Yes. The introductory sections do not require any hands-on experience with the Power Platform. For advanced roles, you will then need practical experience and broader expertise.
Can I still earn a new PL-600 credential with it?
No. The exam and certification have been retired. The handbook explains the former path and the related Expert path now available via AB-100.
Do I have to take all exams?
No. You choose a role path. Only explicitly documented mandatory prerequisites are binding, for example for the Expert title.
Are exam fees included?
No. You book the exam yourself with Microsoft or the exam provider. Plan the costs for exams and any required practice access separately; the planner helps with this.
Does the package contain real exam questions?
No. It refers to permitted official practice resources and contains its own learning and practice tasks.
Is this an official Microsoft product?
No. It is an independent publication by powerbunch GmbH. Microsoft has not authorized, endorsed, or approved the product.
Is there support or a learning assessment?
The package contains learning material for self-directed use or self-study. Personal learning support or monitoring of learning progress is not included. Self-checks are for self-assessment.
Which license do I need?
The individual license applies to one named person, the team license to up to 10 named people, and the company license to all employees and other persons acting on behalf of the purchasing company.
