Description
Welcome to the Salesforce Admin Certification Prep Course. This course aims to both help you pass the Salesforce Certified Administrator exam AND establish foundational knowledge every admin needs. We will focus on the primary things every admin needs to know, but will not get into unnecessary advanced features or niche products. We will also make sure to cover each knowledge area mentioned on the exam outline provided by Salesforce.This course contains over 10 separate modules ordered in a very specific way to help you learn 1 step at a time. The more foundational concepts are tackled first, followed by more technical how-to lessons after that. With each lesson and each module, we build upon what we’ve learned to end with a solid understanding.When possible, we will talk about WHY certain features exist, so that you don’t just pass an exam, but can actually impress in an interview or excel in your role.Some of this content comes from Trailhead, some of this content comes from Salesforce documentation, and a lot of this content simply comes from years of experience. That said, if you have the time available to dedicate working through the 59-hour Salesforce Admin Trailmix, I’d recommend it. There is obviously more learning to be had in 59 hours than I can pack into a 6-10 hour course. You do not have to have any technical experience or prior Salesforce experience to become a Salesforce Admin. However, those who have some form of technical background will likely excel faster than those who do not. Please note that I do not work for Salesforce directly and have put together these lessons on my own accord. However, there are definitions, examples, and graphics from Salesforce resources.
