Yes, the candidate can register for and take Exam AB-100, but active AZ-103, AZ-400, and GH-300 credentials do not satisfy the current prerequisite for earning the Microsoft Certified: Agentic AI Business Solutions Architect Expert certification.
The AB-100 exam page does not specify a prerequisite certification for sitting the exam. It describes the intended experience level and allows candidates to schedule AB-100. ^1^
Requirements for the Expert certification
Passing AB-100 alone is insufficient. The candidate must also hold at least one of these currently listed Associate-level certifications:
- MB-330: Dynamics 365 Supply Chain Management Functional Consultant Associate
- PL-400: Power Platform Developer Associate
- MB-230: Dynamics 365 Customer Service Functional Consultant Associate
- MB-310: Dynamics 365 Finance Functional Consultant Associate
- MB-500: Dynamics 365: Finance and Operations Apps Developer Associate
- MB-800: Dynamics 365 Business Central Functional Consultant Associate
- MB-820: Dynamics 365 Business Central Developer Associate
- AI-300: Machine Learning Operations Engineer Associate
- AI-103: Azure AI Apps and Agents Developer Associate
- AB-620: AI Agent Builder Associate
- AB-210: Dynamics 365 Sales AI Consultant Associate
- AB-410: Intelligent Applications Builder Associate
- AB-250: Dynamics 365 Contact Center AI Engineer Associate
The official certification page identifies AB-100 as the required exam and requires at least one certification from that prerequisite list. ^2^
Therefore:
- Can take AB-100: Yes.
- Will AZ-103, AZ-400, or GH-300 fulfill the certification prerequisite: No, because none appears on the current approved list.
- To earn the Expert certification: Pass AB-100 and earn at least one currently approved prerequisite certification.
Check the certification page again before selecting a prerequisite, because Microsoft can update certification requirements.
