PL-900 Power Platform Fundamentals in Singapore: Exam Domains, Funding and Practice Exams
Summary
PL-900 is the Microsoft credential for business users who want to automate their own work without writing code. This guide covers what the exam measures, what the 2 days WSQ course covers, and what you pay after SkillsFuture funding — $472 for Singapore Citizens and PRs aged 21 and above, or $312 for Singapore Citizens aged 40 and above.
Why PL-900 is worth sitting
Power Platform is where a great deal of practical automation actually happens in Singapore organisations — the approval flow someone built in an afternoon, the app that replaced a spreadsheet, the dashboard the team now runs on. PL-900 gives that work a formal grounding, and the July 2026 exam update added a substantial new domain on Copilot Studio agents.
- No coding required. PL-900 is aimed at business users, not developers.
- The July 2026 update added agents in Microsoft Copilot Studio, worth 20–25% of the exam — the credential now covers AI agents, not just classic low-code.
- A 45-minute exam with no prerequisites, making it a fast, low-risk first certification.
- Fundamentals certifications never expire.
The course is mapped to the Skills Framework under Applications Integration (TSC code ICT-DIT-3003-1.1), and leads to roles such as Power Platform Specialist, Power Apps Developer, Power BI Analyst, Power Automate Developer. Check the funding you qualify for.

What you actually pay: funding for PL-900 training
The full fee is $800 before GST. As an SWDA-funded WSQ course, the subsidy depends on your citizenship, age and who is sponsoring you:
| Who you are | Subsidy | You pay (incl. GST) |
|---|---|---|
| Non-funded / international participants | – | $872 |
| Singapore Citizen or PR, aged 21 and above | 50% | $472 |
| Singapore Citizen aged 40 and above (MCES), or SME-sponsored | 70% | $312 |
GST of $72 is charged at 9% on the full course fee of $800, as required for SWDA-funded courses — the subsidy applies to the course fee, not the tax.
Funding for this course is valid from 15 Nov 2023 to 14 Nov 2027. You must register and complete the course within that window to qualify.
