This course has been updated in line with the exam update as per 22 July 2026.
In this AB-900 exam preparation course;
We'll start by looking at security. We'll look at the Microsoft 365 security principles and identify the core security features of Microsoft 365 services, using Microsoft Entra.
We'll then turn to data protection and governance tasks using Microsoft Purview. We'll start with Microsoft Purview Information Protection, then look at Data security, and end with Data governance and compliance.
We'll then look at Microsoft 365. We'll look at the core objects of Microsoft 365 services, including Exchange Online and Teams, and look at identifying and monitoring oversharing in SharePoint.
Finally, we'll go to Copilot. We'll understand the features and capabilities of Copilot, together with basic administrative tasks. We'll turn to built-in agents such as Researcher and Analyst, and the data security implications of Copilot. Finally, we'll create agents using Copilot Studio Lite and Copilot Studio Full.
No prior knowledge is required. This course completes with quizzes and practice tests, so you can be sure that you are learning.
Once you have completed this course, you will have an expanded knowledge of Copilot and Agent Administration. With some practice, you could even take the official Microsoft AB-900 exam, which gives you the "Copilot and Agent Administration Fundamentals" certificate. This would look good on your CV or resume.
