Microsoft Power Platform Developer (PL-400) is Microsoft's job-role certification for developers who build and extend solutions on Microsoft Power Platform. It proves you can create a technical design, configure Microsoft Dataverse, build and configure Power Apps, automate business processes with Power Automate, extend the user experience and the platform with custom code (plug-ins, custom connectors, PCF controls and client scripting), and develop integrations. This is a developer certification. Microsoft recommends development experience, including proficiency with C# and JavaScript - it is more technical than the low-code Power Platform fundamentals. The exam has about 40 to 60 questions and can include case studies. It is graded on a scaled score: you need 700 on a scale of 1 to 1000 to pass. Because scoring is weighted, 700 does not mean 70% of questions correct. The exam costs about US$165 (varies by region) and is delivered through Pearson VUE.
Power Platform is widely adopted, and organisations increasingly need developers who can go beyond low-code to extend it with real code. PL- 400 proves you can build and extend Power Platform solutions with plug-ins, custom connectors, PCF controls and integrations, supports Power Platform developer roles, and differentiates you from low-code makers. As a technical job-role credential it carries real weight with employers - and Microsoft's free annual renewal keeps it current at no ongoing cost.
