What about the Advanced Developer and Technical Architect certifications? How do you recommend we study for those?Įach of those certifications are significantly more difficult to pass than the five I listed. The method worked so well that I decided to write a post about it. For every test I crammed all my studying the night before. I used these exact methods and flashcards to pass all six of my certifications and I was fortunate enough to pass them all on my first try. How did you study for your certifications? No matter how many certifications you have, you only need to pass at most two maintenance tests each release.

For Developer and Advanced Developer, you need to pass the developer maintenance test.

If you have Admin, Advanced Admin, Sales Cloud Consultant, Service Cloud Consultant, and/or Technical Architect, you’ll have to pass the admin maintenance test every release. There are only two maintenance tests every release: admin and developer. I took them all online, so convenient! I can’t think of a reason not to! Should I take the tests online or at a testing center? Note that if your company has Premier Support, you get access to the online video versions of all Salesforce classes, including the certification courses.

The classes are awesome for teaching you general Salesforce knowledge, but for passing a certification, you’ll learn more from self-studying flashcards. You can fail and re-take each certification test 30 times and still spend less money than one class. If your only goal is to pass the certification, then skip the classes. I worked hard for it!ĭo you recommend taking the official classes for the certifications? I bought this for myself after passing a certification.
