My 'Salesforce Administrator Certification'? Exam Journey .

My 'Salesforce Administrator Certification' Exam Journey .


I have tried to summarise?my journey to become a 'Salesforce certified Administrator' here. The idea behind this article is to help anyone like me who is a novice to Salesforce and wanted to understand?how to approach learning and certification exam for?Salesforce .



Step 1-? How it all started ? - Being a DXP Consultant / Architect for one of the top product (Liferay)?in the market I always had the desire to learn other Top DXP Products available in the market . This took me to 'Salesforce Experience Cloud' . Once I started getting an idea about this (Salesforce) product then I realised that the way the Salesforce ecosystem is structured it is better first to get a understanding of?'Salesforce Administration' and hence I picked one of the bestselling course at Udemy . Following is the course which I took.

The Complete Salesforce Certified Administrator Course. - By Mike Wheeler?.

This course gave me quite a good understanding of the platform .


Step 2 - Play and Learn - Salesforce provides its own learning platform called Trailhead . I was surprised?to see the way this learning platform has been created . This makes all your learning a Fun . It's like playing a game and collecting points and badges . At the same time it provides learning paths ( Trailmix ) which guides you on which modules you need to work (Or better say which games to play :) )?. I chose the following one and did as much as my time allowed (although I feel I have just started and there is lot to do)

Step 3 - Set a Target Date, it helps !!?- In the process I?felt that learning about the platform?is something continuous?and incremental in?nature?. Although gaining points and badges at trailhead gave me satisfaction of Learning , it's always better to give a logical milestone to the process and for me it was getting certified via Admin Exam and hence I set a target date and booked my exam at?https://www.webassessor.com/ . This helped me in terms of setting the goal and making the plan accordingly .


Step 4 - Free Practice Tests -?Finally there is a lot of test material?available on the internet to practice for the exam . There are a lot of free resources?too available , few of them I have mentioned below
