Hands-on certification prep, including Copilot and the new sales agents.
Dynamics 365 Sales is Microsoft's enterprise CRM platform, a system that organizations use to track leads, manage deals, and coordinate sellers across the lead-to-cash process.
What makes AB-210 unique from earlier Dynamics certifications is its near total focus on the AI layer that now sits on top of that platform: Microsoft Copilot for in-app assistance and a new family of autonomous sales agents that handle research, qualification, and deal closing on the seller's behalf. AB-210 is the certification that proves a candidate can responsibly design, configure, deploy, and govern that environment.
This hands-on course prepares you for the Microsoft AB-210 Exam by guiding you through the design, configuration, and deployment of AI-enhanced sales solutions using Dynamics 365 Sales, Microsoft Copilot, and the new generation of sales agents. You will learn how to configure core Sales features for AI, build AI-driven seller workflows in Dataverse, and deploy the Sales Qualification, Sales Close, and Sales Research agents across Research-only and Research-and-Engage scenarios.
The course covers every published exam objective, including configuring intelligence features, such as the sales accelerator, predictive scoring, conversational intelligence, and forecasting, all aligned with the skills measured in the exam.
Rather than focusing on theory, this course takes a practical, end-to-end approach where you work through real-selling scenarios step by step. You will explore opportunity of research with the Sales Research Agent, deal-closing automation with the Sales Close Agent, and Power Platform extensibility through Power Automate, embedded Power Apps, and embedded Power BI.
By the end of the course, you will not only be well-prepared to pass the AB-210 exam but also confident in designing, configuring, and governing AI-first Sales solutions in real-world environments.
