Platform Administrator, for most people: it covers the platform every other path builds on, and six consultant exams require it. New to Salesforce? Platform Foundations is a gentler start. Developers usually begin with Platform Developer, and marketers with Marketing Cloud Engagement Foundations.
Most give you 105 minutes for 60 scored questions, plus up to five unscored ones. Foundations exams are 40 questions in 70 minutes, and some exams run 90 or 120 minutes.
$200 for most exams, $400 for most architect exams and $75 for Foundations exams, before tax. A retake costs half, and Foundations retakes are free. The Technical Architect’s two steps cost $1,500 and $4,500.
Most exams have no prerequisites. Several consultant exams need Platform Administrator first, the second-level exams need the first (Platform Administrator II, Platform Developer II, MuleSoft Developer II), and B2C Solution Architect needs three certifications.
Five domain architect exams (data, sharing and visibility, identity and access, integration, and lifecycle and deployment) combine with App Builder and Platform Developer into two credentials you don’t sit an exam for: Application Architect and System Architect. Hold both and you can go for Technical Architect: an evaluation with a CTA, then a review board where you design and defend a solution for a hypothetical scenario.
Most certifications need one maintenance module a year, which you complete on Trailhead.
Yes. The free plan includes 200 credits you can spend across the platform, with no credit card required. Upgrade to Pro whenever you want unlimited practice.
