Power Platform Functional Consultant Associate (PL-200)

Teams often cite PL-200 when documenting who is trained to configure security settings, data models and automated flows in Power Platform environments. CBT Nuggets team reporting adds per-learner progress, completion records and completion exports that can serve as audit evidence. The auditor's control crosswalk decides how that coverage maps to a specific framework.

PL-200 fits the functional consultants and IT staff who turn business requirements into Power Platform solutions. The linked training covers configuring security settings, building and customizing canvas apps, managing data models, building Power Pages sites, designing Power Automate flows and connecting services. A certified team can own app delivery, workflow automation and data structure decisions instead of routing every request to developers.

CBT Nuggets Power Platform Functional Consultant Associate (PL-200) courses are built by named expert trainers. Where a course includes hands-on virtual labs or a practice exam mapped to Microsoft's published exam objectives, the course list on this page says so. Team admin reporting tracks assignment, completion and exam readiness per engineer — the view managers use to run a team training program.

From the admin console, managers assign the Power Platform Functional Consultant Associate (PL-200) courses directly to specific engineers or role groups and track completion and practice-exam scores per learner. Team-wide reporting rolls up to a single dashboard you can review or export for leadership reviews or compliance reporting.

The linked live courses add up to about 13 hours of video, covering both the PL-900 fundamentals and the PL-200 functional consultant material. The actual timeline depends on the team's starting point, so IT leaders often place staff new to Power Platform in the fundamentals course first and move experienced builders straight to the PL-200 lessons.

CBT Nuggets updates Microsoft course content as exam objectives refresh, and this page shows the current exam's status and any retirement date the vendor has announced. When Microsoft restructures or renames a track, the assigned training stays aligned with the same team training plan, and the training stays current without anyone losing their progress mid-stream.
