Power Automate RPA Developer Skills After PL-500 Retirement
Microsoft’s retired Power Automate RPA Developer Associate program assessed the ability to design, build, manage and troubleshoot robotic-process automations using Power Automate. Its PL-500 examination retired on June 30, 2026, so it is not a certification a new candidate can currently pursue.

Microsoft PL-300 aligns with that workflow, and its April 20, 2026 skills outline covers preparing data, modeling, visual analysis, and managing and securing Power BI. A candidate needs to understand how those activities connect, because a visually attractive report can still be unreliable if its source, filters, or permissions are wrong. Home/Microsoft/Power…

WSQ – Microsoft 365: Information Protection & Compliance Administration (SC-400)
Microsoft SC-400 was the exam associated with the Information Protection and Compliance Administrator Associate credential. Both the exam and certification retired on May 31, 2025. The subject is still useful for Microsoft 365 administrators because the underlying work—protecting sensitive information, applying retention controls, investigating risky activity and demonstrating compliance—continues in Microsoft Purview. The important distinction for Singapore learners is that a course referring to legacy SC-400 topics is not automatically a currently available Microsoft certification, nor does mentioning Workforce Skills Qualifications (WSQ) prove a provider’s course is WSQ-accredited.
