What's New in 2026
AB-100 is Microsoft's most advanced AI certification launched in 2026. It requires an active associate-level Microsoft certification as a prerequisite and targets senior architects designing enterprise-scale agentic AI solutions.
Course Overview
AB-100 is Microsoft's Expert-level certification for architects and senior consultants responsible for designing, orchestrating, and governing AI-powered business solutions at enterprise scale. This 3-day advanced instructor-led course covers the full architecture of agentic AI systems — from Microsoft Foundry and Copilot Studio through multi-agent orchestration, Dynamics 365 AI integration, Power Platform extensibility, Azure AI services, and responsible AI governance. Unlike the AB-730/AB-731 business user certifications, AB-100 requires deep architectural judgement and experience with enterprise Microsoft platforms. Candidates must hold an active associate-level Microsoft certification to sit the exam.
