Renewal
There’s no cost to renew your certification, just make sure you pass the online assessment before your certification expires. Once you pass, your certification will be extended one year from the expiration date.

Should you take it?

  • Suits Power Platform makers who build agents in Copilot Studio and want an exam that tests exactly that work.
  • Not for newcomers: Microsoft expects you to know Power Fx, Dataverse, Microsoft Foundry and adaptive cards before you sit it.
  • The catch: it expires every year, so you have to pass Microsoft's free online assessment annually to keep it.
  • Take AI-103 instead if you code agents in Python on Azure rather than assembling them in Copilot Studio.

Who can take AB-620?

Microsoft lists what to know before it.

In Microsoft's words

For this exam, you should be familiar with Power Fx, Microsoft Dataverse, Microsoft Power Platform environments and components, Microsoft 365 Copilot, Microsoft Foundry, and adaptive cards.
