Training
Two Microsoft architect certifications, taught from the field.
Structured courses for AB-100 (Agentic AI Business Solutions Architect) and PL-600 (Power Platform Solutions Architect), drawn from the architecture practice I run with enterprises. Each course covers the certification, the role, and the production-grade depth that takes you beyond the exam.
Why these two
Two certifications, one practice
Microsoft's architecture certifications are how the industry credentials the role. AB-100 sets the bar for solutions architects working with agentic AI; PL-600 has been the standard for Power Platform architects since the exam launched in 2021. I have written and taught the PL-600 material since the start, and I run the agentic AI patterns AB-100 examines in production today.
Both courses are structured around the exam objectives but go deeper into how to actually do the work: the design choices, the trade-offs, and the patterns that hold up in a regulated enterprise. The certification is the milestone; the practice is the point.
Course one — Agentic AI
AB-100 Agentic AI Business Solutions Architect
A complete course for solutions architects moving into agentic AI on the Microsoft stack. The course covers the AB-100 certification objectives end to end, then pushes past the exam into the production patterns a regulated enterprise actually needs: orchestration, evaluation, observability and the operational discipline that makes an agentic system trustworthy.
Foundations of agentic AI on Microsoft
What an agent actually is, when an agent is genuinely the right tool, and the Microsoft agentic stack you will be designing on: Azure AI Foundry, the Microsoft Agent Framework, and Copilot Studio. The map you carry into every later module.
Designing agentic systems
Single-agent and multi-agent patterns, supervisor-worker orchestration, grounding agents in enterprise data, and connecting them to systems through tools and Model Context Protocol servers. How a coherent system is shaped end to end.
Evaluation, safety and responsible AI
Eval-first development, defining the contract for what an agent should and should not do, content safety and guardrails, and the regulatory considerations that decide whether an agent is fit to put in front of customers.
Observability, operations and cost
Tracing every conversation, tool call and model invocation; attributing cost per agent, per task and per outcome; and the operational practices that keep an agentic system trustworthy at the volume it runs at in production.
AB-100 exam preparation, and the production patterns beyond it
A focused walk through the AB-100 exam objectives with worked examples, and the production-grade patterns the exam hints at but the work demands. Worked examples are drawn from the same patterns I run in OnDynamics Labs.
Course two — Power Platform
PL-600 Power Platform Solutions Architect
The standard course for Power Platform solution architects. Built on the chapter structure of the Microsoft Power Platform Solutions Architect's Handbook and tuned to the current PL-600 exam, it covers the architect's role, the nine pillars of a sound architecture, and the design and delivery practices that turn a Power Platform programme into a system the enterprise can rely on.
The solutions architect's role
The nine pillars of a Power Platform architecture that survives production, and where the architect sits in a real programme: from discovery through to live operations, and what they own at each stage.
Requirements, fit-gap and data architecture
Real need versus perceived need, fit-gap analysis as the moment that decides the shape of the programme, and secure data modelling in Dataverse. The decisions that make every later stage easier or harder.
Application and integration architecture
Power Apps, Power Pages, Power Automate, the Azure services that extend the platform, and how AI capabilities (Copilot, AI Builder, Azure OpenAI) fit alongside Power Platform in an enterprise design.
Security, ALM and governance
Identity, environment strategy, ALM pipelines, the Center of Excellence pattern, and the operational practices that turn a project into a platform the organisation can run and grow.
