Guide for getting the PL-300 badge! β
Many people are currently studying for the Microsoft PL-300 exam, because it is still the certification that proves your Power BI skills.
But the exam has changed over the years. It now covers things like Copilot features and choosing between Direct Lake, DirectQuery, and Import. So if your prep materials are a few years old, some topics are simply missing.
To help, I collected the most useful resources in one place. These are resources I have either personally created or strongly recommend. Together, they can help you build the required skills and approach the exam with confidence.
π ππππ© π - Start with the official study guide to learn what kind of skills you are expected to have in the exam:

We rebuilt CertiAce! π οΈ
Over the past month we rewrote pretty much the whole platform.
If you tried CertiAce a while ago, it is genuinely not the same product now. Worth another look.
To celebrate, a full year of CertiAce Pro is 60% off. That is $79.60 instead of $199, covering 10 Microsoft certification exams with over 200 practice questions each. AZ-104 and PL-300 were both added this month.
One heads up: the code expires tonight.
Use code RELAUNCH60 at checkout:
certiace.com/pricing
Ends tonight, Sunday August 2. Good luck with your studies! π

The on-premises data gateway install takes 15 minutes.
The setup around it is where people get stuck.
Almost every Fabric project eventually needs on-premises data. And the same questions come up again and again:
πΉ Which account should the gateway run under?
πΉ Why can't my colleague see the gateway?
πΉ Why is the connection failing when the gateway itself is online?
Next Wednesday in the Fabric Forge weekly Premium call we will set one up from scratch, hands-on:
β Installing the gateway software step by step
β Which account to use and why it matters
β Giving other team members access to the gateway
β Using Azure Key Vault references for credential management
β Connecting to an on-premises data source from a Fabric pipeline
You can also bring your own setup questions, whether you are starting fresh or untangling an existing setup.
If you are not a member yet, you can join for free here:

Guide for getting the new AI-103 certification! β
Microsoft retired the AI-102 exam on June 30 and replaced it with AI-103: Developing AI Apps and Agents on Azure. This is not just a new exam number. It comes with a brand new certification, and the content has shifted heavily toward AI agents.
ππ‘ππ ππ‘ππ§π ππ:
AI-102 earned you the Azure AI Engineer Associate certification. AI-103 earns a new one: Azure AI Apps and Agents Developer Associate. The biggest exam domain (30 to 35%) is implementing generative AI and agentic solutions with Microsoft Foundry, and Python experience is expected. Old AI-102 study materials will not fully prepare you for this one.
To help, I collected the most useful resources in one place. Together, they can help you build the required skills and approach the exam with confidence.
π ππππ© π - Start with the official study guide to see exactly what skills the exam expects:
learn.microsoft.com/credentials/certifications/resβ¦
π ππππ© π - Go through the official learning path on the exam page:
learn.microsoft.com/credentials/certifications/exaβ¦
π₯ ππππ© π - Watch the free AI-103 exam prep video from Microsoft Learn (41 minutes well spent):
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BEUor...
π§ ππππ© π - Use CertiAce to benchmark your knowledge and find your weak areas. We just added AI-103 with over 270 realistic practice questions and 2 case studies, and you can try some of the questions for free:
certiace.com/
π¨ CertiAce also includes a free AI-103 study guide: certiace.com/study-guides/ai-103
Worth knowing: Microsoft's official Practice Assessment for AI-103 is not out yet, so realistic practice material for this exam is still rare.
Hope this helps you become one of the first Azure AI Apps and Agents Developer Associates.
Good luck with your studies! π
