Hello Martin,
I finally passed my adm201 exam yesterday. this was my second attempt..
Thanks to your material it helped me a lot. i have purchased the certified admin course and the practise exams from you and they helped me understand the concepts and topics to cover…
i will be purchasing advanced admin and focus on it now…
Thank you so much once again @Martin 🙂
hello Kanika,
Did you take them on the same day? i have also passed my admin cert yesterday and now i am confused whether to goto advanced admin or app builder..can you please suggest me..
Sandy, you may want to get Platform App Builder and then go straight to Advanced Admin. I passed my Admin in January, then went to PAB in early Feb, and then it only took 2 weeks to get Advanced Admin because of the over lap of topics in each of the three tests.
So far I’ve passed the Admin, Advanced Admin, and Platform App Builder exams – using focusonforce.com to study for all of them. The quality and price point of your study materials is absolutely the best. I will continue to use your site for many more certifications in my future.
Thank you!
Any chance that the new Marketing Cloud Developer Certification will become a course? I think it’d be a great addition to the development track you already have, and it’s hard to find any good documentation to study. It would be very beneficial to a lot of people!
Thanks!
Eli
Hi Elizabeth, we have paused creation of new courses to improve on our current offerings. We will consider it in the future. Hopefully, Salesforce releases a Developer Edition for Marketing Cloud by then.
I passed my Advanced Admin test this week. I only used Focus on Force for my study guide. So far, you have helped me pass the App Builder and Advanced Admin. Studying now for Sales Cloud. Thank you so much! I hope that soon you might look at getting a study guide for CPQ Specialist! 🙂
The same questions are in the full practice exams. The full practice exams are limited to 60 questions, whereas the topic exams will have the same and more questions on the topic.
Hi Team, I think the materials that you offer are the BEST source of information when preparing for a Salesforce Certification. They were extremely useful for each of the exams I have taken! I am currently preparing for Integration Architecture Designer that I find fascinating and I really hope that one day you will consider dedicating a course to that also. It is not an easy one and your experience and capacity for synthesis would help a lot of people . Thank you for all the great work!
Hi Cristina, thanks for the nice words and your suggestion for the next course. We plan to publish Data Architecture Study Guide this month, and then we don’t have any plan for a new course in the near future, but we will take your suggestion into consideration.
Hi there,
The courses listed above, are they in the appropriate order for someone wanting to follow the certification path or is there no real specific path on certification to take?
I can see practice exams for Data Architecture & Management certification but no study guide. Will there be a study guide made available for this or just the practice exam?
Hi Mohammad, thanks for your interest in our course. Data Architecture Study Guide is currently in progress and it will be released by the end of the month.
Hi Team,
I have purchased your “Salesforce Certified Administrator Exams”. Are the questions mentioned in the “Topic Exams” are same as the “Full Practice Exams” ? I have completed all the six “Full Practice Exams”, hence I do not want to again read through the same questions in the Topic Exams. Please clarify.
Hi Vijaynand, thanks for using our courses. You’re right, these are the same questions, just organized by different topics. Sometimes it’s possible that questions are added to exams by topics and not to practice exam with 60 questions, but most of the questions are the same.
Please consider this as I have had great success with your study guides to supplement my knowledge and FSL is challenging without additional study tools. Thanks!!!
Just wanted to say that I’ve used Focus on Force for all five of my certification exams and passed every single one on the first try – thanks for all that you do and for the hard work in putting together the best training materials out there (hands down)!
Best,
Bryan
P.S. Any possibilities of having a Nonprofit Cloud course on the horizon by chance?
Having passed Sharing and Visibility Designer today, I just wanted to say thank you. I’ve got 6 certs and I’ve passed the last 5 of them first-time thanks to you guys!
Just passed the Data Architecture and Management Exam. Impressed with the quality of the questions, I felt fully prepared for the exam. Looking forward to the next course released.
Martin and Team, I have been a big fan of your study materials, you are doing a great job, keep up the good work! Waiting for Data Architecture and Management Designer study guide, any chance of releasing the study guide this month? ASAP 🙂
Hi! I recently passed the Platform App builder exam! Thank you guys por all the material!
The preparation was so hard but I finally made it, for all of those who are still preparing for the exam, check out the related links that are given to you when you check the answer from the test exams, it will give you even more confidence and more knowledge.
Looking forward to take more courses from you.
It could be great if there’s a future plan for a Marketing Cloud Course :b
Hi Gabriela, all practice exam questions appear in the topic exams. However, there are other questions in the topic exams that do not appear in the practice exams.
Really happy to see that you have released – Data Architecture and management designer practise exams.
Do you consider releasing a study guide as well and if yes what is your timeline?
Passed my Platform App Builder Exam today on my first go.
Thank you Martin for your excellent materials!
No need to trawl the internet for exam dumps when all is here ; all relevant and all clearly explained.
I passed my Salesforce admin exam today, thank you for putting together such great material which not only helped me in the exam but strengthened my concepts. Totally recommend the course.
Hi guys, I’ve done today my exam for Salesforce Certified Administrator (SP19) and I fail it 🙁
I have done a bad result but in my Exam Preparation based on all the 6 Test I had achieve good results over 80% for each one. How Can I proceed now? I know the test on this platform, but it has not been sufficient to pass the exam 🙁 🙁
I would suggest to use your section level feedback and identify the areas that you need to work on. Make sure that when you review our questions, study guide or trailhead, that you really understand the concepts and try them out in your own dev org and include variations to make sure that you really learn about the topics, not just memorize. Best wishes for when you try again!
Would like to see more architecture exams like Integration. Glad you are heading in that direction. I have Application architect and am working on System architecture path.
Your courses are super. 5 Stars. Just passed my 6th certification: community cloud (allways using theory and practice exams of focusonforce, and pass on 1st attempt).
When do you think to provide study guide+exams to the marketing cloud email specialist certification?
Thank you very much
Hi Tania, thanks for the positive feedback! Glad that you found the materials useful to pass. We are currently working on Data Architecture, after that we will decide what to do next!
The Sharing & Visibility Designer practice exams were super helpful! I earned my certification over the weekend, and it would have taken me a lot longer without the help of these. Thanks!
A month ago I got certified in Developer 1 and thanks to the course here it went very well for me. I would like to know what course should I follow for the Marketing Cloud Email Specialist certification? Thank you.
Hello,
I am unable to take multiple notes. Every time I open the notes section, it pulls up the most recent notes I entered and when I try to enter new notes, it overrides and erases previous ones. How can I add more individual notes/line items without overriding previous entries. I do not see an option for this. Thank you!
Hope you are doing well!!!
I have passed the App builder exam.So wanted to thanks to you, for such a wonderful courses.
Also I am preparing fro Data Achitecture exam and waiting for its course, When can we expect that to be released????
Hi Razia, congratulations on passing! We are currently working on Data Architecture, it is taking longer than we planned. We hope to have it done by the end of next month.
Will there be a Road Map section coming anytime soon that shows what certification materials are currently being worked on and what is future state? Love your materials as they have been critical in my Salesforce journey!
We’re glad that our materials have helped. A road map would certainly be a great addition to our site. We’re currently working on our Data Architecture & Management Designer materials. We’ll have more bandwidth to work on other projects and enhancements once that is done.
Hi Team,
I recently passed my platform app builder exam. Focusonforce practice exams helped me a lot. Resources are great. Thanks a lot for creating super detailed content. Now next is sharing and visibility designer- path to application architect.
I passed the Admin exam certification yesterday in the first attempt. Course material and practice exams has been really helpful.
Kudos to the team for putting out such a through material.
Thanks,
Yes, yes, yes! Focus on force definitely is helpful!
Coming from the .Net, C# world, and aiming to pass the Dev 1 exam- Focus on Force practice exams and all the content to prepare for The Dev 1 exam was covered wonderfully!
After studying all topic questions and content, I passed the Dev 1 exam yesterday. And I look forward to using Focus on force and recommending Focus on Force to my employer for all future exam prep needs.
Hi Team!
The weightage for the topics have been changed. It will be beneficial if you could provide information on how often they change them.
Will the questions be same for everyone taking the test on a specific month /release?
TIA
They seem to have been changing the weightage more often than usual lately. We do not have information on how often they change them now, before it used to be only once every release.
The questions are not the same for everyone in the sense that they randomize the set of questions to be given to someone from a pool of questions.
Dear Martin, I got my Sales Cloud Certification on offical exam yesterday and Focus on Force helped me a lot. Now, let’s go to next ones, counting on Focus on Force’s resources to achieve my new desired targets successfully.
Hi Martin,
I want to thank you for the material you provided for the Sharing & Visibility mock-up exams. They were invaluable in my preparation to pass the exam. Keep you the great work.
I just used your practice exam to pass the Service Cloud cert….they are truly amazing. I found the practice exams the most helpful in that you answer a question and you can see the answer right away with a detailed explanation. I am really looking forward to any new certifications you might add….for what my tiny vote is worth….Pardot and Field Service Lightning!!!
Hello!
Your practice exams were a great asset in passing my Service Cloud Consultant exam last week. I’m going on to Field Service Lightning next, as it is one of the fastest growing Salesforce products. Are there any plans for to offer FSL courses here in the near future?
HI team,
Cleared Salesforce Sales Cloud consultant exam successfully. Thanks a lot for the Practice exams which made me to develop a skill of applying knowledge and also felt that, passing such a tough exam is just a breeze!
Thanks a lot, Keep Growing.
God bless you
Rgds
Hari
How about CPQ? Any plans at all? It is VERY hard to find info on CPQ and you are the best course I have found for other certs. would be thrilled if you could put out a CPQ course and test questions
Hi Sara, I think that CPQ is going to be a central part of the Salesforce strategy going forward. That said, I’m very glad to see you doing the Application Architect certs. When those are done, maybe take a side jaunt into CPQ?
I cleared my Admin and Sales Cloud using these guides and practice exams.
This is an amazing study guide not only for certification even to understand different scenarios.
Thank you Martin
Dear All, just certified Service Cloud !
Very useful courses and practice tests. Fully satisfied.
Next month I need to attend the FSL Field Service certification. When will you add this training / quiz ?
Many Thanks
Thanks to your wonderful resources, I passed my Community Cloud exam this week! Would be great to see some materials for Pardot and Marketing Cloud on here too 🙂
I passed the Admin exam on 1/2 on the first try after reviewing your materials and practice tests. Thanks for putting the training together and saving me $4500!! I look forward to studying for other exams using your platform.
Hi Sara, thank you for the feedback! We haven’t decided which course we will create next, but we are considering FSL. We will provide updates through the mailing list.
Hi Karim, we wish you a happy new year as well! We currently do not have any plans of creating a course for the Nonprofit Cloud, but we will keep it in mind.
Hi Martin and Team , Thanks for this wonderful collated material!! I did enroll for PD1 test exams and cleared the exam in 1st attempt. Believe , one should go through the explanations in detail and understand the things to clear the exam. Question – Any plans to add the missing courses/exams for domain architect certification?
I successfully leveraged the courses & exams to achieve my admin, sales and service consultant certifications. Thanks! I vote for adding the CPQ Specialist as your new course & exam for 2019!
Took the 1st practice exam for admin and got 78.3% (Including a bone-headed move where it said choose 2 and I only picked 1). Should I be confident enough to take the real exam?
I wouldn’t go by the %, I would concentrate on your knowing why the correct answer is correct and the incorrect answers are not appropriate or wrong. A lot of the questions will be scenario based and will ask you to pick the best answer, so you need to know which option to choose and why.
Hi, thanks for the mock exam, it helped me a lot to pass the dev1 cert. Are there any practice exams for Data architecture and management, or sharing and visibility designer?
Hi Alan, congratulations in passing the PD1 exam! We currently do not have any materials for Data Architecture and Management or Sharing and Visibility Designer.
Hello, I took Platform I developer exam yesterday and passed. Focus on Force was a very helpful study guide. One note, I did not have a single Heroku question on my exam….for what it’s worth.
Hi Jason, Heroku is mentioned in one of the objectives in the Salesforce fundamentals section, however as it is only 10% and the questions come from a bank, not everybody will always get a Heroku question, but it is possible!
Hi, how about the Salesforce CPQ Certification Exam practice questions? Recently, Salesforce CPQ has picked up the momentum and gaining demand for the Salesforce CPQ skill. Salesforce CPQ certification is becoming MUST to work on the projects associated with Salesforce CPQ. Let us know when would that be something available here?
Hi Srinivasan, we plan to create a new course sometime next year. We still haven’t decided which one but we will keep everyone posted on the mailing list.
We have noted that CPQ and Marketing Cloud seem to be in demand.
Congrats for the great work. I passed my last certification thanks to your materials.
Did you planned to release a study guide for Marketing cloud certifications ?
Hi Martin
Any plans for all the other exams? I would be really interested in CPQ Specialist and Marketing Cloud Consultant as well as all of certifications under the technical architect journey. Any ETA on when thouse could be released? Keep up the great work.
Hi Priyanka, we update the study guides and practice exams with each release. We follow the release version the official Salesforce exam guides use. The materials are also updated when we receive user feedback.
Navaz Basravi
Hello – how long is the App Builder course in hours, I am trying to estimate how long it will take me to complete the course and start with the practice exams?
Thanks very much!
Hi Navaz, it is difficult to say how long it will take in hours. It really depends on how you use it. If you already are familiar with the topics then it is more of a review, but if there are new topics, then you would need to spend more time to understand the details and follow the reference links.
Hi Martin ,
Firstly ,your content is simply amazing , being a developer with practical experience in salesforce and used your guide to clear the exam, very helpful .Initially purchased 1 from course and now i have purchased around 4. Will be 6 soon 🙂
I would like to know if there is any focus on architect designer certification material in your blog?
Would be very grateful if that decision is taken.
Thanks,
Shiva RV
Hi Martin, When will FocusOnForce push out a CPQ 211 Study Guide and Practice Exams? This is a big need in the Salesforce Community. Can we expect something by the end of the year? Thanks, Mario
Hi Mario, thanks for the suggestion. Yes CPQ seems to be popular, along with field service and architect exams. We are currently working on improving the existing material, once that is done we will look at what is next. Unfortunately it won’t be by the end of the year.
Hi Martin, I enjoyed Platform App Builder practice exams which helped me to pass the exam easily.
What I’d love to see in a near future are the Architect exams, especially the ones needed for Application Architect route.
They are 2 times more expensive than other exams which makes them twice more risky 🙂
Hi Tomasz, glad to hear that you passed and our materials were useful for you. Yes many people are doing the architect exams now, so we will consider them for the next one.
Hi Martin, Thanks for the wonderful courses.
I have taken several courses on Focusonforce and it really helped me in passing my certifications in the very first attempt. Even after having certification I sometimes visit the course and every time finds something new.
Request you to have lifetime access of the purchased courses instead of having access for just 1 year.
Thanks for the positive feedback. The reason that we have access for 1 year is that we have a team constantly updating the material and offer personal responses to questions in the forum as a service, so that cannot be lifetime access.
Hi James, we’re updating and improving the existing content at the moment, after that we’ll look at adding more. Field Service Lightning seems to be very popular.
Hi Martin, you’ve asked me which cert I’d be interested in, and I’d say I’m really interested in Designer certs for Architect credentials. My vote is for architect certs!)
Hi Martin — Related to your question just above about which Cert material to offer next, I’d be very interested to see content and practice exams on the Certified CPQ Specialist certification. Thanks!
I PASSED yesterday. This is an EXCELLENT resource. Following this structure, the test exams and putting in some extra research in each area with Trailhead. What I like about this resource, is it explains WHY you got an answer wrong and details how specific functionality works. Thank you Martin!
Hi Martin, could you please shed the light on what will be the next SFDC cert on FocusOnForce and when we can expect it? We’d be very excited to know..
Hi Michael, thanks for asking! We are currently updating and improving the existing content, it is a big challenge to just keep it up to date. Once we have that done, we will consider which one will be next. Which one would you be interested in?
Salesforce has reviewed their Service cloud consultant certification exam. Now the pass percentage is 63 and their an extra section on the service console
Thank you, I passed the App Builder exam Today!!! The questions in the exam were completely different from the ones practiced here but I have to say that the insight I got from those practice exams and my experience lead me to pass the exam with all percentages mean of 81% 😀
Passed the Service cloud examination on 07th Aug in first attempt
We cannot expect exact question from focus on force exams , generally exam questions are bit easier than this for me . So if you can pass these exams without memorizing and grab the concepts you have high chance to pass in first attempt.
if you gone through study materials and all of the exams by getting correct concept (without memorizing ) , you will never find best materials than this .
Additionally do trailheads as well + try to implement things by your own in trailhead environments
Focus on Force study notes are amazing!! I passed my Advanced Admin and App Builder certs in 2 weeks thanks to the notes! Community Cloud Consultant is next!
Your site is really helpful! Was able to get 2x certified (Admin and Platform App builder) within no time and will definitely recommend to others. Would love to see study guides for Pardot and CPQ Exams.
hi martin,I’m going to write platform app builder .I just want to know whether they will mention “choose 2 or choose 3 answers” for multi correct questions in real certification exam or simply checkbox that tells us it is multi correct question?
hi Martin, thanks for the great site and super helpful material,
just an idea, adding a link to the left with the planned road map will be a great addition
Hopefully you can add all the consultant certification here. Field Service Lightning, Marketing Cloud and Pardot. Including the prerequisites like Marketing Email Specialist and Pardot Specialist 🙂
Thanks a lot for this site and your practice exams that helped me passed my second certificate today! But can you change the settings here to let the most recent comments appear on the top?
Another up-vote for Field Service Lightning . There is limited training material available elsewhere. The practice exams on FocusOnForce have already helped me in 5 certifications. Thank you so much!
I’d like to put my vote in for Field Service Lightning. It’s in high demand and also seems like a really fun cloud to develop. I would love to take that course/exam. Thanks!
Hi Martin, are there any plans to add the Salesforce Data Architecture and Management Designer certification course materials and practice exams? Thanks!
So thankful for this site, the courses available, the materia and the practice exams! I just passed yesterday May 27 my Salesforce Admin Certification and this site was instrumental. Thank you!! Looking forward to learning new areas and earning more certifications in the near future.
Hi Martin, do you consider the certs from Architect path, i.e. App Architect specifically, i.e. Data Management and Sharing/Visibility designer more specifically as a new great opportunity? BTW your practice exams are awesome (they are my secret sauce how to pass the real exams).
Thanks for the positive feedback Michael and suggestion regarding the architect path, we are currently updating the look and content on the existing material, after that we will consider what is next.
Hi Surinder, thanks for your message. We are updating the content and look of the existing material first, then we will look at what is next.
Field server Lightning does seem to be popular.
Hey Martin, Thanks for the great work of compiling the Admin course materials. Passed my certification and job hunting now. The package greatly helped and the shared experience of others that had passed the exam. It was a great challenge for me given that its a career shift for me.
Thanks. and see you when taking other certifications.
Hi Martin,
I’hv become Certified Salesforce Administrator SP18 today.
Thank you so much for your structured study material. The section wise questions, practice exams and detailed description of topics made my concepts clear. I would highly recommend it to everyone.
Regards
Hi Martin, I was able to pass the Salesforce Admin certification exam on the first try, thanks to your comprehensive Admin training practice exams (all six of them) – it exposed me to a lot of the necessary details I needed in order to pass Admin exam. It took a lot of study and practice time and effort and stress but I was able to pass the exam successfully. Thank you again for taking the time to put your Admin training program together.
Hi Martin, last week i completed my Salesforce Platform Developer II certification successfully. You are doing amazing work on preparing the courses and particularly the practice test questions. I liked the way you put together all the topics precisely and systematically.
Looking forward to the Community certification class to close my “Service” area, since I already have the Service and Field Service Lightning certifications.
I am looking to move into salesforce domain and have a previous oracle CRM developer background.
Do you recommend going for developer certifications before the admin one ?
Also is platform Dev 1 certification a pre-requisite for Dev 2 ?
Hi Adi, I recommend you do Admin first. Admin will give you the basic concepts that you need to understand about the platform. After that I would recommend Platform App Builder before going for Platform Dev 1 as you should understand the declarative options available before developing a programmatic solution. Yes PD1 is a prerequisite for PD2 and it makes sense to take them in that order as they build upon each other.
Hi Martin, thanks for the study guides. definitely helped me passing admin & sales cloud exams. looking forward to the commumities guide! can we sign up for a newsletter so you could update everyone about new guides & exams?
Hi Frank, thanks for the positive comments. If you have purchased before, we will send a notification when a new guide and practice exam is ready. We are aiming to complete Communities by the end of April.
Any plans to add CPQ study guide and the certification ?
Since its very popular , I believe it would be a great addition to this wonderful treasure house 🙂
Many thanks for the Administrator course that you have here , which helped me in passing the exam . I am going to take the Advance Admin and Platform App Builder courses as well from this site . Hope to clear those exams as well . Thanks again !!
Thanks Martin for your help on all these guides. Sales Cloud was a breeze because of your practice tests. I’m about to purchase the other half of Service cloud (tests). I look forward to seeing Community Cloud as that’s next on my Cert path for my role. Cheers to the great work!
Hi Martin.. Great material here… I have passed my admin, service and sales cloud consultant exams this last month and the material here was a great help along with trailhead. Looking forward to the pardon material. You mentioned it is on the roadmap after things like community cloud and cpq. Do you have a rough guide as to your roadmap? Or if pardon will be this year? Again thanks for the help and support you provide
Hi Matthew, glad that you found the materials useful. After we complete Community Cloud, we will decide on what’s next, so unfortunately I can’t say when we would get to Marketing Cloud at this stage.
Hi Martin,
Just thought you’d like to know that I passed my ADM 201 on the weekend. Your course absolutely cemented my knowledge and it was so good that it followed the exam guide point by point. Well worth the $ investment. Thanks.
Hello. I am thinking about purchasing the study guides along with the practices tests for Platform Developer I certification. I know that the test had some “maintenance” recently and was wondering if the materials cover everything that I would need to know to pass the test? Thank you in advance!
Hi Derrick – We analyzed the official study guide after it was updated and found there was one new objective added, related to Heroku.
We have added that topic to the study guide and practice exams, so our material covers everything in the updated official study guide.
Hi Donna, we are working on Community Cloud currently, after that we will decide what’s next on the list, so unfortunately can’t help you with it right now.
Your courses/practice exams are great and helped me pass the Service Cloud Consultant exam 🙂
It would be GREAT if you could add Pardot and Marketing Cloud courses as those skills are definitely in high demand.
Very very nice content to prepare ADM 201 !!! It was a success since I worked during 1 month and got certified yesterday 🙂
Thansk !! I will take the Sales or Service Cloud soon 🙂
So far I have passed the Sales Cloud Consultant and Salesforce Administrator certifications with your help. Many of us are aiming to become Architects, so resources to help along that path would be very much appreciated! Keep up the good work!
PLATFORM DEVELOPER I Certification is updated with new study guide, is your questions also will be modified depends on the new syllabus. If so when it will be modified.
We have checked the new Spring 18 official study guide. The only change from the previous one, is the last objective in the Salesforce fundamentals section, to include the objective of ‘features of the Heroku platform’. We will update our study guide and practice exams in the next week with this updated objective.
Hi. Martin, next I am planing to take Salesforce Certified Data Architecture and Management Designer certification, do you have any plans when this course will be available? as i am not finding good material anywhere. please let me know when this will be coming
Just passed Service Cloud Consultant with the help of your material, thank you! Looking forward to Community Consultant next, any estimates on when that will be available?
Hi Martin,
I have been taking the preparation for the Admin 201 with your excellent focusonforce website to take the test during the next or two weeks ahead. Do you know If I should expect any changes in the Certification Exam Guide or is the Winter ’18 still the one I have to follow up? Also, are all your subjects up to date with the last release?
Yes you should follow the Winter 18 certification exam guide. Yes we have just completed a review of all topics to make sure they are current with Winter 18.
Best wishes for your exam.
Yes we plan on adding it this year. Sorry we don’t have a more exact date.
We are currently finishing Platform Developer 2, then we will start on Community Cloud.
The study guide will be done in the next few days. You can purchase now and get started, you will automatically get the remaining topics over the next few days.
This site is great! I’ve recommended it all my Salesforce professional friends in the industry. Do you think that any courses will be added related to Salesforce Architecture credentials such as the ‘Sharing and Visibility Designer’, ‘Data Architecture and Management Designer’.
Thanks for the feedback! We are currently working on PD2, then Community Cloud, so we don’t have plans at the moment for the architecture credentials but we will review again later in the year.
Hi Izaaz, thanks for your message. We are currently working on PD2 and then Community Cloud, so unfortunately we don’t have any news on Sharing and Visibility currently.
Hi Pushpa, PD2 study guide and exams are in progress, taken longer than planned as we like to be thorough and they are advanced topics!.
Study Guide will be completed in January and practice exams end January or February.
Thanks for the question, regarding Pardot study guide – unfortunately we cannot give a date at the moment, we are currently completing Platform Developer 2 and following that Community Cloud and possibly CPQ.
Hi Martin,
I’ve been going through the past questions on here because i plan on taking my admin 201 exam on the 30th of this month, will this be okay for me or are there other sources i have to study from? Although i use trailhead aside from this site.
Just passed Advanced Admin with the help of your content, thank you! Also looking forward to Community Cloud; any updates on when we may be able to expect that?
These guides and exams are legit and have enabled me to pass the Advanced Admin exam. I’m studying for the Platform App Builder now, and have no doubt that it’ll get me to where I need to be. I’ve pointed all my friends to this site for their certification goals.
I’ve been a subscriber for over a year now, however I have only ever purchased the practice exams. Can you please describe what the study guides contain – is it just a bunch of links to applicable resources? Or does it take you through section by section in detail so we can complete all the necessary study from here?
The study guides contain overview diagrams, summaries of the key points, screenshots, flash cards and reference links all mapped to the official study guide topics, so that you can use it as a reference to work through, and dive into the details of areas you need to learn more about, using the reference links.
Passed Service Cloud Consultant exam at dreamforce yesterday — much in part to this study guide. thanks for the work you do! i recommend your site often.
Really enjoying your Service Cloud Guide and exams.
Any chances that you could offer Field Service Lighting? It is so related to Service Cloud and in high demand right now
Thanks for the followup and feedback!
Sorry I don’t have an update on Community cloud, we are currently working on the Sales Cloud study guide, and then Platform Developer 2. Once that is done we will look at Community Cloud but I don’t have a date currently.
Martin, Hello, I just discovered your website. Thank you soo much for this! I am working on my ADM 201 cert and wanted to know, Trailhead seems to have us do quite a bit in Lightning, do you know if the test going forward is/will be geared towards that UI?
My understanding is that at the moment there are questions on Lightning, but only a few. Obviously this will change over time and the number will increase as Lightning is adopted further and includes all of the functionality of Classic.
Do you have any plans for Certified Integration Architecture Designer, Certified Identity and Access Management Designer or Certified Development Lifecycle and Deployment Designer courses?
Cheers for the amazing product!
Hi Bikash, thanks for the positive feedback. We are working on Sales Cloud Study Guide and Platform Dev 2 then Community Cloud, so unfortunately no plans at the moment for the exams you mentioned.
Hello team !!!
I have successfully completed three Salesforce certification (Admin, App Builder, Platform Dev 1), so I want to say thanks for that. I also want to know if it is possible to have exam or courses for Platform Developer 2.
Again thank you very much
Woo Thank YOU!. passed Platform Dev I this morning, there’s no way I could have done it without your practice exams. Very excited to hear about the Community Cloud is in the works. Is there a mailing list I can sign up for when it’s available?
Hi Martin, Thanks for your response. So, Developer 401 certification is the Platform app builder course right? Then what’s Platform Developer 1..??? I thought Platform Developer 1 is the developer 401. Could you please help me to understand the difference between them. Since I am planning to write developer 401 certification.
Hi Sujata, yes Dev 401 was configuration (which was a confusing name), that’s probably why it was renamed to Platform App Builder. Platform Dev 1 is coding with Apex and Visualforce. You should do App Builder first, so that you understand the configuration options before moving to a development solution.
I have recently passed my ADM 201 . Now I am planning to write Developer 401 certification. Just wanted to know if the materials posted here are the updated and accurate once before purchasing your course. Thanks for your help.!!
just a question regarding preparation for Advanced/Experienced Admin Certification. Is it enough to use your Study Guide and the Practice Exams? Or do i need to study other materials?
We usually recommend a combination of Trailhead and the Focus on Force study guides and practice exams. The study guides and exams cover all of the topics in the official study guide, so you will be very well prepared after learning from them. I would suggest to work through as many Trailheads for practical hands on experience and then use the study guide and exams to reinforce and verify your knowledge before taking the exam.
After studying your course and taking your practice exams, I got my ADM201 two days ago! Thank you so much for providing such useful materials and they’re very helpful!
Access is for 12 months from purchase date. That should give you plenty of time to study.
We don’t give lifetime access, due to the effort to continually update them and align them with Salesforce releases.
Hi there
is the Service Cloud Study guide (and soon to come practice exams) based on the new certification course? The exam changed a couple of months ago.
Thanks for your message. We monitor the official study guide for changes and update accordingly. You are right over the last few releases, some topics have changed and for Summer 17 all of the weightings have changed. Our study guide includes all of the topics listed in the current official study guide and the upcoming practice exams will be aligned with the new weightings.
I am preparing for ADM201 certification and I have one question for study material.Is your study material is objective type or the detail topics?
Thanks
Hi, this site is great. I just passed the sales cloud consultant and used this site to help prepare after failing the first attempt. I see service cloud is now available which is fantastic. Any plans for Marketing Cloud consultant anytime soon? Thanks!
Unfortunately no, we don’t have plans for Marketing Cloud at the moment. Currently we are working on Platform Developer 1 study guide and Service Cloud practice exams.
Please let me know when you will make the Platform developer 1 Study guide available.. I have been waiting for the study guide .. you mentioned that it will be available by June/July… will it be available in this month?
Please let me know.. Waiting for your reply.. Thanks very much for this wonderful site.. Passed the app builder certification because of this site 🙂
Sorry for the delay, we have been working on the Service Cloud Study Guide, following that we will complete the Platform Developer Study Guide. I don’t have a date when it will be complete yet but will be next!
Hi Martin, So I’ve used the App Builder and Sales Cloud Consultant practice exams which are VERY helpful (Passed!!). Are you any closer at developing the Service Cloud Consultant exams??
Thanks, Helen
I just wanted to thank you for this website . The content has been extremely helpful. I am currently working on my Platform Dev I certification. Are you going to have a study guide on the site soon?
@gouni omg thank you for this post… i was nervous .. well i am still nervous.. lol….i bought the ADM201 also…my 201 Admin exam is tomorrow and i have been using this site mainly as a study guide.. this is very good to know..
Great content on your site ! I bought your ADM201 practice examen. GREAT STUFF I passed !! Thanks for that. I am looking for the service and marketing clouds practice exams…. let me know when they are ready !!
Any news on the Service Cloud Consultant course? LOVE to use it. Just used your course to get my ADM-201 a week after I signed up for your course – great content and structure! Best of all, it’s actually up to date.
Hi Team,
is there a course for integration architecture ?
We currently do not have a course for Integration Architecture.
Hi Martin,
Thanks a lot for the practice exam, I just passed my Salesforce Admin Certification.
Thanks again.!!!
Well done! We are glad the practice exams were helpful 🙂
Hello Martin,
I finally passed my adm201 exam yesterday. this was my second attempt..
Thanks to your material it helped me a lot. i have purchased the certified admin course and the practise exams from you and they helped me understand the concepts and topics to cover…
i will be purchasing advanced admin and focus on it now…
Thank you so much once again @Martin 🙂
That’s great news Sandy, thanks for sharing, glad we could help.
Hi Team,
thank you for study guide and practice tests. I passed my salesforce admin & platform app builder certificate yesterday & they helped a lot.
– Kanika Jain
Hi Kanika, it’s great to hear that you got two certs and that our courses helped. Congrats!
hello Kanika,
Did you take them on the same day? i have also passed my admin cert yesterday and now i am confused whether to goto advanced admin or app builder..can you please suggest me..
Thanks in advance
Sandy
Sandy, you may want to get Platform App Builder and then go straight to Advanced Admin. I passed my Admin in January, then went to PAB in early Feb, and then it only took 2 weeks to get Advanced Admin because of the over lap of topics in each of the three tests.
Thank you so much for the material, passed my Admin201 yesterday and will start know with the next Platform App Builder 🙂
Congratulations on clearing the exam and good luck on your next!
So far I’ve passed the Admin, Advanced Admin, and Platform App Builder exams – using focusonforce.com to study for all of them. The quality and price point of your study materials is absolutely the best. I will continue to use your site for many more certifications in my future.
Thank you!
Thanks for the feedback Griffin, glad we could help!
Today I got my first Admin 201 certification. Thanks to FocusOnForce <3
Passed my Salesforce Admin exam today on my first attempt thanks to your website! Thank you all!
We’re glad our materials helped. Congratulations!
Thanks FocusOnForce Team. I passed my ADM201 Exam today at first attempt with less than 6 months experience as an Admin 🙂
Congratulations! We’re happy our materials helped you in your preparation.
Hi!
Any chance that the new Marketing Cloud Developer Certification will become a course? I think it’d be a great addition to the development track you already have, and it’s hard to find any good documentation to study. It would be very beneficial to a lot of people!
Thanks!
Eli
Hi Elizabeth, we have paused creation of new courses to improve on our current offerings. We will consider it in the future. Hopefully, Salesforce releases a Developer Edition for Marketing Cloud by then.
I passed my Advanced Admin test this week. I only used Focus on Force for my study guide. So far, you have helped me pass the App Builder and Advanced Admin. Studying now for Sales Cloud. Thank you so much! I hope that soon you might look at getting a study guide for CPQ Specialist! 🙂
Well done, David! We are happy to hear that our materials helped and have been a part of your Salesforce journey.
Thanks, Martin. I passed the admin exam a few hours ago and on my first try!
Hi Albert, congratulations on passing the exam. We’re glad to hear that our course helped.
Hi. Are the Questions in the Full Practice Exams taken from the Topic Exam questions? Or are they new questions?
The same questions are in the full practice exams. The full practice exams are limited to 60 questions, whereas the topic exams will have the same and more questions on the topic.
Hi Team, I think the materials that you offer are the BEST source of information when preparing for a Salesforce Certification. They were extremely useful for each of the exams I have taken! I am currently preparing for Integration Architecture Designer that I find fascinating and I really hope that one day you will consider dedicating a course to that also. It is not an easy one and your experience and capacity for synthesis would help a lot of people . Thank you for all the great work!
Hi Cristina, thanks for the nice words and your suggestion for the next course. We plan to publish Data Architecture Study Guide this month, and then we don’t have any plan for a new course in the near future, but we will take your suggestion into consideration.
Hi there,
The courses listed above, are they in the appropriate order for someone wanting to follow the certification path or is there no real specific path on certification to take?
Regards
Nicholas
The courses listed above is not in a specific order/path.
Great materials. Are you considering launching course or study guides for CPQ or Commerce?
We might consider CPQ for a future course, but we won’t be creating new courses for the rest of the year.
Hi
I can see practice exams for Data Architecture & Management certification but no study guide. Will there be a study guide made available for this or just the practice exam?
Hi Mohammad, thanks for your interest in our course. Data Architecture Study Guide is currently in progress and it will be released by the end of the month.
Hi Team,
I have purchased your “Salesforce Certified Administrator Exams”. Are the questions mentioned in the “Topic Exams” are same as the “Full Practice Exams” ? I have completed all the six “Full Practice Exams”, hence I do not want to again read through the same questions in the Topic Exams. Please clarify.
Hi Vijaynand, thanks for using our courses. You’re right, these are the same questions, just organized by different topics. Sometimes it’s possible that questions are added to exams by topics and not to practice exam with 60 questions, but most of the questions are the same.
Thank You for clarification
Hi guys,
any news about Field Service Lightning Course?
Thanks,
Alfredo
Hi Alfredo,
We do not have any concrete plans for creating a course for Field Service Lightning anytime soon.
That’s a pity. Many people are asking for this course.
Please, help us 🙂
Please consider this as I have had great success with your study guides to supplement my knowledge and FSL is challenging without additional study tools. Thanks!!!
Hi Team,
Is there any plan of adding Education Cloud Consultant certification course.
Thanks,
Krishna
Hi Krishna, we currently do not have any plans of creating a course on Education Cloud.
Martin and the Team,
Just wanted to say that I’ve used Focus on Force for all five of my certification exams and passed every single one on the first try – thanks for all that you do and for the hard work in putting together the best training materials out there (hands down)!
Best,
Bryan
P.S. Any possibilities of having a Nonprofit Cloud course on the horizon by chance?
Hi Bryan,
Wow, congratulations on clearing all those exams! I shared your message to the team 🙂
We will consider Nonprofit Cloud for a future course, but it definitely won’t be for this year.
Having passed Sharing and Visibility Designer today, I just wanted to say thank you. I’ve got 6 certs and I’ve passed the last 5 of them first-time thanks to you guys!
Hi Scott, congratulations on passing the exam. It’s great to hear that our courses were helpful!
Just passed Data Architecture and Management Designer exam today. Practice exams really helped me.
Hi Kiranraj, that’s awesome news, we’re so happy to hear that our latest course already helped users to pass the exam!
Just passed the Data Architecture and Management Exam. Impressed with the quality of the questions, I felt fully prepared for the exam. Looking forward to the next course released.
Just got Platform Developer 2 certification. Thanks for your help. Excellent resource.
Martin and Team, I have been a big fan of your study materials, you are doing a great job, keep up the good work! Waiting for Data Architecture and Management Designer study guide, any chance of releasing the study guide this month? ASAP 🙂
Hi Vamsee, thank you for your feedback! I will relay your message to the team 🙂
As much as we want to release the Data Architecture study guide ASAP, it will only be ready next month.
Hi! I recently passed the Platform App builder exam! Thank you guys por all the material!
The preparation was so hard but I finally made it, for all of those who are still preparing for the exam, check out the related links that are given to you when you check the answer from the test exams, it will give you even more confidence and more knowledge.
Looking forward to take more courses from you.
It could be great if there’s a future plan for a Marketing Cloud Course :b
And again, Thank you guys!
Congratulations on passing the exam, Rodolfo! We are glad you found the materials helpful. We will consider Marketing Cloud for the next course.
Hello – any plans to add Marketing Cloud and Email Specialist courses and practice exams?
Hi Ricardo, we currently do not have plans to add Marketing Cloud but we will consider it for future courses.
Hello! I have a question the full practice exams are new questions or questions of the Topic Exams?
Hi Gabriela, all practice exam questions appear in the topic exams. However, there are other questions in the topic exams that do not appear in the practice exams.
Hi,
are there any plans to release integration architecture designer, identity and access management designer or development and lifecycle designer soon?
Best regards,
Aaron
Hi Aaron, we’re currently working on finishing Data Architecture Study Guide, and don’t have any specific plans for future courses.
Really happy to see that you have released – Data Architecture and management designer practise exams.
Do you consider releasing a study guide as well and if yes what is your timeline?
Hi Dimitrios, we will release the study guide next month.
Passed my Platform App Builder Exam today on my first go.
Thank you Martin for your excellent materials!
No need to trawl the internet for exam dumps when all is here ; all relevant and all clearly explained.
Hi Yoav, congratulations on passing the exam. We’re happy to hear that our course helped!
Hi Martin, thank you very much. I passed yesterday my Service Cloud certification at first try. 🙂
Congratulations! We are happy to hear that the materials helped.
I passed my Salesforce admin exam today, thank you for putting together such great material which not only helped me in the exam but strengthened my concepts. Totally recommend the course.
Congratulations Sharon!!! any tip for the takers???
Any plan for Integration Architect certification study guide?
Hi Sudipta, we are currently working on Data Architecture, we may look at Integration Architecture later in the year.
When will you release Data Architecture and Managenent Designer?
We are working on it now, we plan to release the practice exams first in about 2 weeks. After that we will complete the study guide.
Also very interested in Integration Architect.
Hi guys, I’ve done today my exam for Salesforce Certified Administrator (SP19) and I fail it 🙁
I have done a bad result but in my Exam Preparation based on all the 6 Test I had achieve good results over 80% for each one. How Can I proceed now? I know the test on this platform, but it has not been sufficient to pass the exam 🙁 🙁
Riccardo
I would suggest to use your section level feedback and identify the areas that you need to work on. Make sure that when you review our questions, study guide or trailhead, that you really understand the concepts and try them out in your own dev org and include variations to make sure that you really learn about the topics, not just memorize. Best wishes for when you try again!
Ok, thank you
Would like to see more architecture exams like Integration. Glad you are heading in that direction. I have Application architect and am working on System architecture path.
Your courses are super. 5 Stars. Just passed my 6th certification: community cloud (allways using theory and practice exams of focusonforce, and pass on 1st attempt).
When do you think to provide study guide+exams to the marketing cloud email specialist certification?
Thank you very much
Hi Tania, thanks for the positive feedback! Glad that you found the materials useful to pass. We are currently working on Data Architecture, after that we will decide what to do next!
Hello Martin, When is the date we expect it to be released on FocusOnForce?
We are planning to have the practice exams ready end of July or early August.
The Sharing & Visibility Designer practice exams were super helpful! I earned my certification over the weekend, and it would have taken me a lot longer without the help of these. Thanks!
A month ago I got certified in Developer 1 and thanks to the course here it went very well for me. I would like to know what course should I follow for the Marketing Cloud Email Specialist certification? Thank you.
That’s great that you passed PD1! Unfortunately, we don’t currently have any materials for Marketing Cloud.
Hello,
I am unable to take multiple notes. Every time I open the notes section, it pulls up the most recent notes I entered and when I try to enter new notes, it overrides and erases previous ones. How can I add more individual notes/line items without overriding previous entries. I do not see an option for this. Thank you!
Please send a mail to support at focusonforce.com and we will help you there.
Hi Martin,
Hope you are doing well!!!
I have passed the App builder exam.So wanted to thanks to you, for such a wonderful courses.
Also I am preparing fro Data Achitecture exam and waiting for its course, When can we expect that to be released????
Hi Razia, congratulations on passing! We are currently working on Data Architecture, it is taking longer than we planned. We hope to have it done by the end of next month.
Will there be a Road Map section coming anytime soon that shows what certification materials are currently being worked on and what is future state? Love your materials as they have been critical in my Salesforce journey!
We’re glad that our materials have helped. A road map would certainly be a great addition to our site. We’re currently working on our Data Architecture & Management Designer materials. We’ll have more bandwidth to work on other projects and enhancements once that is done.
Hi, Can you please clarify?
(Salesforce Certified Administrator Exams) And (Admin Certification Practice Exams)
These are both referring to the same thing, e.g. the Salesforce Administrator Certification Exam.
Just passed the sharing & visibility designer certification at first attempt.
Amazing courses! Thanks!
I just did my Admin 201 and didn’t make it. Is there a new release coming so I can take advantage of the great resources on FocusOnForce? Thanks
The materials are updated in line with the Spring ’19 exam guides.
Ok, I guess I will have to keep studying and try again. Thank you Sara
Hi Team,
I recently passed my platform app builder exam. Focusonforce practice exams helped me a lot. Resources are great. Thanks a lot for creating super detailed content. Now next is sharing and visibility designer- path to application architect.
Any plans for a Deployment Lifecycle and Development Designer or any of the other System Architect exams?
Thanks
Sydney
Hi Sydney, we currently do not have plans to create any of the System Architect exams.
Hi FocusonForce Team,
I passed the Admin exam certification yesterday in the first attempt. Course material and practice exams has been really helpful.
Kudos to the team for putting out such a through material.
Thanks,
Rohit
Hi Rohit, I have learned all the questions in the 6 Practice Tests….what do you think about it? Could it be sufficient to pass the exam?
I passed my PD1 today and this course material definitely contributed. Any plans to add a Data Architecture and Management Designer course?
Congratulations on passing the exam, Rick!
We are working on Data Architecture now and we plan to have it ready by Q3.
That’s great news! Thank you!
Do you mean by end of Q3 or beginning of Q3?
Hi RJ, we mean end of Q3.
Hi Sara,
Just wanted to check on the status of this — still on track for the end of Q3?
Also, general question, are new study guides going to be released on a quarterly basis? Or is it on a rolling basis?
Thanks!
Yee
Hi Yee,
We are still on track for the end of Q3. It is on a rolling basis at the moment.
Will you ever have a non-profit cloud consultant practice exam? I can’t seem to find one anywhere.
We do not have any plans at the moment.
Hi Dan:
I had some good luck following the nonprofit cloud consultant exam trailmix at the following link:
https://trailhead.salesforce.com/users/jfrichter/trailmixes/nonprofit-cloud-consultants
Good luck in your certification endeavors 🙂
Yes, yes, yes! Focus on force definitely is helpful!
Coming from the .Net, C# world, and aiming to pass the Dev 1 exam- Focus on Force practice exams and all the content to prepare for The Dev 1 exam was covered wonderfully!
After studying all topic questions and content, I passed the Dev 1 exam yesterday. And I look forward to using Focus on force and recommending Focus on Force to my employer for all future exam prep needs.
Hi Team!
The weightage for the topics have been changed. It will be beneficial if you could provide information on how often they change them.
Will the questions be same for everyone taking the test on a specific month /release?
TIA
Hi Dhana,
They seem to have been changing the weightage more often than usual lately. We do not have information on how often they change them now, before it used to be only once every release.
The questions are not the same for everyone in the sense that they randomize the set of questions to be given to someone from a pool of questions.
Dear Martin, I got my Sales Cloud Certification on offical exam yesterday and Focus on Force helped me a lot. Now, let’s go to next ones, counting on Focus on Force’s resources to achieve my new desired targets successfully.
Hi Martin,
I want to thank you for the material you provided for the Sharing & Visibility mock-up exams. They were invaluable in my preparation to pass the exam. Keep you the great work.
Congratulations on passing the exam! We are happy to hear that the new SVD materials helped.
Passed my Sharing & Visibility exam at the weekend. Very happy with the practice exams. Looking forward to the next course
I just used your practice exam to pass the Service Cloud cert….they are truly amazing. I found the practice exams the most helpful in that you answer a question and you can see the answer right away with a detailed explanation. I am really looking forward to any new certifications you might add….for what my tiny vote is worth….Pardot and Field Service Lightning!!!
Hi Kevin, congratulations on passing the Service Cloud cert exam! We are considering Pardot and FSL for future courses.
Hello!
Your practice exams were a great asset in passing my Service Cloud Consultant exam last week. I’m going on to Field Service Lightning next, as it is one of the fastest growing Salesforce products. Are there any plans for to offer FSL courses here in the near future?
Hi Joseph, congrats in passing the exam! We are considering FSL for future courses.
Hi, Any Plans to add Salesforce CPQ Study guide and Practice exams?
Hi! We are considering CPQ due to the high demand.
Yes please, CPQ would be great! When the course would be ready?
Sorry we don’t have a date yet, next we are working on Data Architecture.
Hi – following up on the status of CPQ. Thanks
Hi Tom,
We do not have any concrete plans for creating a course for CPQ anytime soon.
Hi Martin, Thanks. I have Admin and app builder exam and planning for Dev I. what is about “Data Architecture and Management Designer” availability?
Hi Brajesh, it will be available sometime in the second half of the year.
That’s great to hear – this is my next exam target also. Just passed SVD today and the resources here were extremely helpful. Thanks!
HI team,
Cleared Salesforce Sales Cloud consultant exam successfully. Thanks a lot for the Practice exams which made me to develop a skill of applying knowledge and also felt that, passing such a tough exam is just a breeze!
Thanks a lot, Keep Growing.
God bless you
Rgds
Hari
Congratulations on passing the Sales Cloud exam, Hari!
Hi Martin,
When you are planning to introduce new certification courses (For Example: CPQ, Marketing cloud, Application Architect etc)
Hi, we are working on Sharing and Visibility Designer right now. We aim to finish it by the end of April.
How about CPQ? Any plans at all? It is VERY hard to find info on CPQ and you are the best course I have found for other certs. would be thrilled if you could put out a CPQ course and test questions
CPQ seems to be high in demand so we are considering it. However, we have no concrete plans for that yet.
Hi Sara, I think that CPQ is going to be a central part of the Salesforce strategy going forward. That said, I’m very glad to see you doing the Application Architect certs. When those are done, maybe take a side jaunt into CPQ?
There is definitely a demand for CPQ and we will consider it again for the next course!
Hi Sara, and besides Sharing and Visibility, are there any other certification to be released? Thank you.
Hi EJ, we are considering creating Data Architecture and Management Designer for the later part of the year.
Good news !!! Please create both Sharing and Visibility & Data Architecture and Management.. thanks.
I cleared my Admin and Sales Cloud using these guides and practice exams.
This is an amazing study guide not only for certification even to understand different scenarios.
Thank you Martin
Hi ,
Any chance of seeing Integration Designer materials here ?
Thanks,
Shiva RV
Hi Shiva, we currently do not have any material for Integration Designer.
any possibility for Nonprofit consultant exams or course in the near future?
Hi, we are considering Nonprofit for future courses but probably not for this year.
Dear All, just certified Service Cloud !
Very useful courses and practice tests. Fully satisfied.
Next month I need to attend the FSL Field Service certification. When will you add this training / quiz ?
Many Thanks
Hi Valerio, congratulations on getting certified! We are glad the materials helped.
We have no concrete plans for FSL because we just got started on Sharing and Visibility Designer. We will consider it for future courses.
i’d love to see FSL on your list too!
Hi Martin,
Thanks for your compiling good study guide and practice papers for App Builder .
I passed my exam today on first attempt .
Regards,
Indira
Hi, do you have a preliminary ETA for the Sharing and Visibility course?
Hi Michael, the preliminary ETA is around April.
Hello, are there any plans to relaese architect certification related exam materials soon?
I am talking about sharing and visibility for example.
Hi Aaron, we are looking into creating a new course this year. We will announce it in the mailing list once we have decided which one it will be.
Martin,
Are you looking at adding Pardot Consultant or Specialist to your study guides and courses?
Hi James, we are considering Pardot but we do not have any concrete plans for it in the near future.
It would be GREAT if you could have materials for the Marketing Cloud certification on here also.
Hi Christopher, we are considering Marketing Cloud as the next course. We will keep everyone posted in the mailing list.
Hi Sara – could you give a confirmation on this please. on Marketing cloud.
Hi Hemin, we do not have news for Marketing Cloud at the moment. The next course we are creating will be Sharing and Visibility.
Ok, thanks Sara
It would VERY helpful to have a Pardot Specialist Practice Exam/Study Guide on here as they are no up-to-date ones online!
Hi Pauline, thanks for letting us know! We will consider it for the next courses.
Hi there
Thanks to your wonderful resources, I passed my Community Cloud exam this week! Would be great to see some materials for Pardot and Marketing Cloud on here too 🙂
Many thanks
Greer
Hi Martin,
I passed the Admin exam on 1/2 on the first try after reviewing your materials and practice tests. Thanks for putting the training together and saving me $4500!! I look forward to studying for other exams using your platform.
Best,
Randy
Hello Martin.
Thanks for your courses, they are awesome and really helpful. Do you have any plans for field service lightning?
Thanks,
Sara
Hi Sara, thank you for the feedback! We haven’t decided which course we will create next, but we are considering FSL. We will provide updates through the mailing list.
How do we get on the mailing list? I want to be ready when you add FSL. Thanks
You can get on the mailing list during purchase if you select the option to allow us to send emails.
Yess! Please, sharing and visibliity!!!
Hi Martin, Happy New Year! Any plans for a Nonprofit Cloud Consultant course?
Hi Karim, we wish you a happy new year as well! We currently do not have any plans of creating a course for the Nonprofit Cloud, but we will keep it in mind.
Hi Martin and Team , Thanks for this wonderful collated material!! I did enroll for PD1 test exams and cleared the exam in 1st attempt. Believe , one should go through the explanations in detail and understand the things to clear the exam. Question – Any plans to add the missing courses/exams for domain architect certification?
Hi Sasi, congratulations on passing the exam! We are planning to create a new course this year but have not decided which one yet.
I vote for adding the Sharing and Visibility certification !!!!
I successfully leveraged the courses & exams to achieve my admin, sales and service consultant certifications. Thanks! I vote for adding the CPQ Specialist as your new course & exam for 2019!
Thanks Dan, we will keep that in mind when planning new material for 2019.
YES, CPQ would be a great idea, materials are very hard to find so PLEASE add it in 2019!
CPQ is definitely an interesting topic and I’d gladly participate in the course
Took the 1st practice exam for admin and got 78.3% (Including a bone-headed move where it said choose 2 and I only picked 1). Should I be confident enough to take the real exam?
I wouldn’t go by the %, I would concentrate on your knowing why the correct answer is correct and the incorrect answers are not appropriate or wrong. A lot of the questions will be scenario based and will ask you to pick the best answer, so you need to know which option to choose and why.
Hi Martin – Planning for CPQ certification. Do you have any plan to share study material for the same ?
CPQ is becoming popular, so we will keep it mind when developing new materials in 2019.
Hi, thanks for the mock exam, it helped me a lot to pass the dev1 cert. Are there any practice exams for Data architecture and management, or sharing and visibility designer?
Hi Alan, congratulations in passing the PD1 exam! We currently do not have any materials for Data Architecture and Management or Sharing and Visibility Designer.
Hello, I took Platform I developer exam yesterday and passed. Focus on Force was a very helpful study guide. One note, I did not have a single Heroku question on my exam….for what it’s worth.
Hi Jason, Heroku is mentioned in one of the objectives in the Salesforce fundamentals section, however as it is only 10% and the questions come from a bank, not everybody will always get a Heroku question, but it is possible!
Hi, how about the Salesforce CPQ Certification Exam practice questions? Recently, Salesforce CPQ has picked up the momentum and gaining demand for the Salesforce CPQ skill. Salesforce CPQ certification is becoming MUST to work on the projects associated with Salesforce CPQ. Let us know when would that be something available here?
Thanks
Hi Srinivasan, we plan to create a new course sometime next year. We still haven’t decided which one but we will keep everyone posted on the mailing list.
We have noted that CPQ and Marketing Cloud seem to be in demand.
Hi everyone,
Congrats for the great work. I passed my last certification thanks to your materials.
Did you planned to release a study guide for Marketing cloud certifications ?
Thank you !
Hi Maxime, congratulations on passing your cert exam!
We plan to create a new course sometime next year. We still haven’t decided which one but we will keep everyone posted on the mailing list.
Hi Martin,
I am looking for CPQ certification related documentation. Please suggest.
Thanks,
Mahesha M
Hi Mahesha, I’m sorry we don’t have any CPQ related material at the moment.
Hi Martin
Any plans for all the other exams? I would be really interested in CPQ Specialist and Marketing Cloud Consultant as well as all of certifications under the technical architect journey. Any ETA on when thouse could be released? Keep up the great work.
Hi Eric, we plan to create a new course sometime next year. We still haven’t decided which one but we will keep everyone posted on the mailing list.
Hi Martin, I’m planning to buy Platform App Builder Practice Exam but before that I’m wondering how soon these questions get updated.
Thanks.
Hi Priyanka, we update the study guides and practice exams with each release. We follow the release version the official Salesforce exam guides use. The materials are also updated when we receive user feedback.
Hello – how long is the App Builder course in hours, I am trying to estimate how long it will take me to complete the course and start with the practice exams?
Thanks very much!
Hi Navaz, it is difficult to say how long it will take in hours. It really depends on how you use it. If you already are familiar with the topics then it is more of a review, but if there are new topics, then you would need to spend more time to understand the details and follow the reference links.
How can I purchase Platform developer 2 Study Preparation? I don’t have paypal account and it’s redirecting me paypal always? Why is it so?
Hi Sami, payments can only be made through PayPal at the moment. You can create an account and pay via credit card.
Hi Martin ,
Firstly ,your content is simply amazing , being a developer with practical experience in salesforce and used your guide to clear the exam, very helpful .Initially purchased 1 from course and now i have purchased around 4. Will be 6 soon 🙂
I would like to know if there is any focus on architect designer certification material in your blog?
Would be very grateful if that decision is taken.
Thanks,
Shiva RV
Hi Shiva, thanks for the positive feedback. We will look at adding architect exams next year.
Hi Martin, When will FocusOnForce push out a CPQ 211 Study Guide and Practice Exams? This is a big need in the Salesforce Community. Can we expect something by the end of the year? Thanks, Mario
Hi Mario, thanks for the suggestion. Yes CPQ seems to be popular, along with field service and architect exams. We are currently working on improving the existing material, once that is done we will look at what is next. Unfortunately it won’t be by the end of the year.
Hi Martin, I enjoyed Platform App Builder practice exams which helped me to pass the exam easily.
What I’d love to see in a near future are the Architect exams, especially the ones needed for Application Architect route.
They are 2 times more expensive than other exams which makes them twice more risky 🙂
Hi Tomasz, glad to hear that you passed and our materials were useful for you. Yes many people are doing the architect exams now, so we will consider them for the next one.
Hi Martin, Thanks for the wonderful courses.
I have taken several courses on Focusonforce and it really helped me in passing my certifications in the very first attempt. Even after having certification I sometimes visit the course and every time finds something new.
Request you to have lifetime access of the purchased courses instead of having access for just 1 year.
Hi Chandra,
Thanks for the positive feedback. The reason that we have access for 1 year is that we have a team constantly updating the material and offer personal responses to questions in the forum as a service, so that cannot be lifetime access.
Martin, Any plans to add Marketing Cloud, Pardot lf Field Service Lightning Consultant Study Guides or Exams?
Hi James, we’re updating and improving the existing content at the moment, after that we’ll look at adding more. Field Service Lightning seems to be very popular.
Hi Martin, you’ve asked me which cert I’d be interested in, and I’d say I’m really interested in Designer certs for Architect credentials. My vote is for architect certs!)
Hi Martin,
Any plans to add Field Service Lightning certification in near future?
Thanks ..
Hi Yogendra, Field Service Lightning has had a lot of requests, so yes we are considering it but don’t have a plan yet.
Hi Martin – Any plan on Marketing Cloud? I’ve recently started using it at work and would love to build on it by getting certified. Thanks.
Hi Hemant, we don’t have a plan at the moment, but will keep it in mind for the future. Thanks for the suggestion.
Hi Martin — Related to your question just above about which Cert material to offer next, I’d be very interested to see content and practice exams on the Certified CPQ Specialist certification. Thanks!
Hi Troy, thanks for letting us know, we will keep that in mind when we plan the next one.
I PASSED yesterday. This is an EXCELLENT resource. Following this structure, the test exams and putting in some extra research in each area with Trailhead. What I like about this resource, is it explains WHY you got an answer wrong and details how specific functionality works. Thank you Martin!
Hi Martin, could you please shed the light on what will be the next SFDC cert on FocusOnForce and when we can expect it? We’d be very excited to know..
Hi Michael, thanks for asking! We are currently updating and improving the existing content, it is a big challenge to just keep it up to date. Once we have that done, we will consider which one will be next. Which one would you be interested in?
Salesforce has reviewed their Service cloud consultant certification exam. Now the pass percentage is 63 and their an extra section on the service console
Hi Mounica, yes we have updated the pass percentage and add an extra section on service console.
Are there any future plans for Data Architecture and Management Designer or Development Lifecycle and Deployment Designer courses?
Hi, we don’t have plans in the short term for those, but as the architect certs become more popular, we will consider adding it in the future!
Hi Martin, any plans on creating study guide and practice exams for Pardot Specialist/Consultant?
Hi Patrick, no immediate plans, but Marketing Cloud is getting popular so we’ll certainly look at it in the future.
Thank you, I passed the App Builder exam Today!!! The questions in the exam were completely different from the ones practiced here but I have to say that the insight I got from those practice exams and my experience lead me to pass the exam with all percentages mean of 81% 😀
Thanks again!
Hi Team,
Is there a possibility that the study guide for CPQ certification will be available?
Thanks,
Dhinesh
Hi Dhinesh, we don’t have CPQ currently and is not in the immediate plan.
Passed the Service cloud examination on 07th Aug in first attempt
We cannot expect exact question from focus on force exams , generally exam questions are bit easier than this for me . So if you can pass these exams without memorizing and grab the concepts you have high chance to pass in first attempt.
if you gone through study materials and all of the exams by getting correct concept (without memorizing ) , you will never find best materials than this .
Additionally do trailheads as well + try to implement things by your own in trailhead environments
Thanks martin
Hi Martin Gessner, Could you please provide the guidance for Salesforce Certified CPQ Specialist exam.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Murali
Hi Murali, unfortunately we don’t have CPQ currently.
Focus on Force study notes are amazing!! I passed my Advanced Admin and App Builder certs in 2 weeks thanks to the notes! Community Cloud Consultant is next!
Passed my App Builder Cert last week. Thanks Focus on Force!!!
Hi
Is there a practice exam set for Integration Architect exam?
Thanks
Kiran
Hi Kiran, thanks for the message – no we have plans for the integration architect exam currently.
Hi Martin,
Your site is really helpful! Was able to get 2x certified (Admin and Platform App builder) within no time and will definitely recommend to others. Would love to see study guides for Pardot and CPQ Exams.
Regards,
Vinay
Thanks for the feedback Vinay, glad you found them useful!
Hi, will you update your courses list with some Architect ones, such as Mobile Solutions Designer? Thank you
Hi Attilio, thanks for asking – we don’t plan to add Architect ones at the moment but that may change in the future.
hi martin,I’m going to write platform app builder .I just want to know whether they will mention “choose 2 or choose 3 answers” for multi correct questions in real certification exam or simply checkbox that tells us it is multi correct question?
Hi Saitej, the number of correct answers will be specified with ‘Choose X answers’.
hi Martin, thanks for the great site and super helpful material,
just an idea, adding a link to the left with the planned road map will be a great addition
Thanks for the great idea Fady!
Hopefully you can add all the consultant certification here. Field Service Lightning, Marketing Cloud and Pardot. Including the prerequisites like Marketing Email Specialist and Pardot Specialist 🙂
Hi, Martin:
Thanks a lot for this site and your practice exams that helped me passed my second certificate today! But can you change the settings here to let the most recent comments appear on the top?
Hi Sue, glad to have helped. I will look into if it is possible to change the order of the comments.
Another up-vote for Field Service Lightning . There is limited training material available elsewhere. The practice exams on FocusOnForce have already helped me in 5 certifications. Thank you so much!
I’d like to put my vote in for Field Service Lightning. It’s in high demand and also seems like a really fun cloud to develop. I would love to take that course/exam. Thanks!
I would definitely be interested in seeing a CPQ Exam Prep on this site. It’s becoming a highly sought-after skill set.
I would sure love a Marketing Cloud guide! Admin, Platform App Builder and Dev 1 have been so helpful.
Hi Martin, are there any plans to add the Salesforce Data Architecture and Management Designer certification course materials and practice exams? Thanks!
Hi, sorry we don’t have plans at the moment for Data Architecture.
Any plans for Salesforce CPQ exam?
Hi Jim, not in the short term, we may look at adding CPQ later this year.
So thankful for this site, the courses available, the materia and the practice exams! I just passed yesterday May 27 my Salesforce Admin Certification and this site was instrumental. Thank you!! Looking forward to learning new areas and earning more certifications in the near future.
Hi Martin,
will there be material for the Development Lifecycle and Deployment Designer in the near future?
Regards
Hi Thomas,
Thanks for asking. We don’t have a plan for that at the moment, but will consider it later in the year.
Hi Martin,
Are there materials for the Salesforce Field Service Lightning Consultant exam ?.
Hi Dominic, we don’t have field service lightning yet, but as many people are asking for it, we will consider doing that next.
Just passed my Platform App Builder certification today on my first try. This course was so helpful! Thank you.
Thanks for letting us know, that’s great news Leslie!
Hi Martin, do you consider the certs from Architect path, i.e. App Architect specifically, i.e. Data Management and Sharing/Visibility designer more specifically as a new great opportunity? BTW your practice exams are awesome (they are my secret sauce how to pass the real exams).
Thanks for the positive feedback Michael and suggestion regarding the architect path, we are currently updating the look and content on the existing material, after that we will consider what is next.
Hello Team,
Is there a possibility in near future that Study Guide/Exams for Field Service Lightning Consultant certification available as well?
Best Regards,
Surinder Singh
Hi Surinder, thanks for your message. We are updating the content and look of the existing material first, then we will look at what is next.
Field server Lightning does seem to be popular.
Great news! What’s up next on your roadmap?
Thanks Linda. Next we are updating the look and content of our existing material, before we start on the next one.
Hi Martin, what is next?))
Hi Michael, next we are updating the look and content of our existing material, before we start on the next one.
I see that the Community Cloud practice exams are now available, but will the study guide also be available by the end of April?
Hi, Thanks for following up on this. The study guide is available now.
Hey Martin, Thanks for the great work of compiling the Admin course materials. Passed my certification and job hunting now. The package greatly helped and the shared experience of others that had passed the exam. It was a great challenge for me given that its a career shift for me.
Thanks. and see you when taking other certifications.
Hi Martin,
I’hv become Certified Salesforce Administrator SP18 today.
Thank you so much for your structured study material. The section wise questions, practice exams and detailed description of topics made my concepts clear. I would highly recommend it to everyone.
Regards
Hi Martin, I was able to pass the Salesforce Admin certification exam on the first try, thanks to your comprehensive Admin training practice exams (all six of them) – it exposed me to a lot of the necessary details I needed in order to pass Admin exam. It took a lot of study and practice time and effort and stress but I was able to pass the exam successfully. Thank you again for taking the time to put your Admin training program together.
Hi Martin, when will the community cloud study guide me out approximately? Have been waiting 🙂
Hi Sattya, we are planning to complete it by the end of April.
Hi Martin, last week i completed my Salesforce Platform Developer II certification successfully. You are doing amazing work on preparing the courses and particularly the practice test questions. I liked the way you put together all the topics precisely and systematically.
Thanks!!
Any plans for Certified Integration Architecture Designer?
Hi Bikash, thanks for asking, we currently don’t have a plan for that one, we are currently working on Community Cloud.
Martin:
Looking forward to the Community certification class to close my “Service” area, since I already have the Service and Field Service Lightning certifications.
Thanks Carlos, we are working on Community Cloud now and plan to have it completed by the end of April.
Hi Martin,
I am looking to move into salesforce domain and have a previous oracle CRM developer background.
Do you recommend going for developer certifications before the admin one ?
Also is platform Dev 1 certification a pre-requisite for Dev 2 ?
Many Thanks
Adi
Hi Adi, I recommend you do Admin first. Admin will give you the basic concepts that you need to understand about the platform. After that I would recommend Platform App Builder before going for Platform Dev 1 as you should understand the declarative options available before developing a programmatic solution. Yes PD1 is a prerequisite for PD2 and it makes sense to take them in that order as they build upon each other.
Hi Martin, thanks for the study guides. definitely helped me passing admin & sales cloud exams. looking forward to the commumities guide! can we sign up for a newsletter so you could update everyone about new guides & exams?
Hi Frank, thanks for the positive comments. If you have purchased before, we will send a notification when a new guide and practice exam is ready. We are aiming to complete Communities by the end of April.
Hi,
I am actually looking for Salesforce Community Cloud Consultant course. Could you please let me know when are you planning this in near future !
Hi, thanks for your message. We are currently working on it, and plan on having it completed by the end of April.
Checking in on FSL… any updates on timing? 😉
Hi Sorry, don’t have an update for you, we are currently working on Community Cloud and then will consider what’s next.
Hey Martin,
Any plans to add CPQ study guide and the certification ?
Since its very popular , I believe it would be a great addition to this wonderful treasure house 🙂
Regards,
Yogendra
Hi Yogendra, thanks for the positive comments, we are currently working on Community Cloud, we will consider what’s next when that’s done.
Hi Martin,
Many thanks for the Administrator course that you have here , which helped me in passing the exam . I am going to take the Advance Admin and Platform App Builder courses as well from this site . Hope to clear those exams as well . Thanks again !!
Hi Ritesh, that’s great you passed, best wishes for your study for Advanced Admin and Platform App Builder!
Thanks Martin for your help on all these guides. Sales Cloud was a breeze because of your practice tests. I’m about to purchase the other half of Service cloud (tests). I look forward to seeing Community Cloud as that’s next on my Cert path for my role. Cheers to the great work!
Hi Martin.. Great material here… I have passed my admin, service and sales cloud consultant exams this last month and the material here was a great help along with trailhead. Looking forward to the pardon material. You mentioned it is on the roadmap after things like community cloud and cpq. Do you have a rough guide as to your roadmap? Or if pardon will be this year? Again thanks for the help and support you provide
Hi Matthew, glad that you found the materials useful. After we complete Community Cloud, we will decide on what’s next, so unfortunately I can’t say when we would get to Marketing Cloud at this stage.
Hi Martin,
Any update on Salesforce Community cloud course availability?
Hi, thanks for the question – we are planning to complete it before the end of April.
Hi Martin,
Just thought you’d like to know that I passed my ADM 201 on the weekend. Your course absolutely cemented my knowledge and it was so good that it followed the exam guide point by point. Well worth the $ investment. Thanks.
Hi Martin,
Do you have any release dates for marketing cloud and Pardot consultant study guides?
Thanks
Hi Divya, unfortunately we don’t have a date – we are currently working on Community Cloud. Once that is done we will look at what is next.
Hi Martin,
do you have any idea for the release date for Community Cloud Study guide ? first semester of 2018 ?
thanks for the amazing content released so far!
Hi Luis,
Thanks for asking. We are working on it right now, and hope to have it completed around the end of April.
Hello. I am thinking about purchasing the study guides along with the practices tests for Platform Developer I certification. I know that the test had some “maintenance” recently and was wondering if the materials cover everything that I would need to know to pass the test? Thank you in advance!
Hi Derrick – We analyzed the official study guide after it was updated and found there was one new objective added, related to Heroku.
We have added that topic to the study guide and practice exams, so our material covers everything in the updated official study guide.
Is there any plan to add CPQ study guide or practice tests?
Hi Donna, we are working on Community Cloud currently, after that we will decide what’s next on the list, so unfortunately can’t help you with it right now.
Your courses/practice exams are great and helped me pass the Service Cloud Consultant exam 🙂
It would be GREAT if you could add Pardot and Marketing Cloud courses as those skills are definitely in high demand.
Very very nice content to prepare ADM 201 !!! It was a success since I worked during 1 month and got certified yesterday 🙂
Thansk !! I will take the Sales or Service Cloud soon 🙂
So far I have passed the Sales Cloud Consultant and Salesforce Administrator certifications with your help. Many of us are aiming to become Architects, so resources to help along that path would be very much appreciated! Keep up the good work!
Do you think you might add Community Cloud resources any time soon?
Hi Felicia, thanks for asking – we are currently working on it, but it will be a few months before it is ready.
PLATFORM DEVELOPER I Certification is updated with new study guide, is your questions also will be modified depends on the new syllabus. If so when it will be modified.
We have checked the new Spring 18 official study guide. The only change from the previous one, is the last objective in the Salesforce fundamentals section, to include the objective of ‘features of the Heroku platform’. We will update our study guide and practice exams in the next week with this updated objective.
very much looking forward to Community Cloud.
FSL will be a warm welcome too – since there is not much out there currently.
Hi Martin,
Any plans for Marketing cloud (Social, Email) certification courses & practice Exam?
Hi Prafulla – we are planning Community Cloud next, so we don’t have an immediate plan for Marketing yet.
Community Cloud is my next cert goal. I’ll keep a close eye on your site for the course to be released.
Hi. Martin, next I am planing to take Salesforce Certified Data Architecture and Management Designer certification, do you have any plans when this course will be available? as i am not finding good material anywhere. please let me know when this will be coming
Hi Kris, we are planning Community Cloud next, we don’t have a plan for the data architecture designer certification currently.
Just passed Service Cloud Consultant with the help of your material, thank you! Looking forward to Community Consultant next, any estimates on when that will be available?
Hi, we are wrapping up PD2 at the moment, so it will be a few months until Community Cloud is available, sorry I don’t have a more definite date.
Hi Martin, do we get the practice exam for Platform Dev II soon?
Hi Keerthi, yes they are coming in about a week, thanks for your interest.
Hi Martin:
Any feedback o Field Service Lightning? Big demand and not enough qualified people or certification material.
Hi Carlos, yes I agree a lot of demand for FSL. We are planning on Community Cloud next and then we will consider FSL.
Hi Martin,
Thank you for responding to the questions posted on here.
Best regards,
Kyle
Hi Martin,
I would like to purchase DEV II Practise Exam Beta. May I get an early access to it?
Hi Marina,
In about a week it will be done, please follow up then for access.
Hi Martin,
I have been taking the preparation for the Admin 201 with your excellent focusonforce website to take the test during the next or two weeks ahead. Do you know If I should expect any changes in the Certification Exam Guide or is the Winter ’18 still the one I have to follow up? Also, are all your subjects up to date with the last release?
Hi Zaidely,
Yes you should follow the Winter 18 certification exam guide. Yes we have just completed a review of all topics to make sure they are current with Winter 18.
Best wishes for your exam.
Hi, any plan to support Community Consultant ?
Hi Emilien,
Yes we plan on adding it this year. Sorry we don’t have a more exact date.
We are currently finishing Platform Developer 2, then we will start on Community Cloud.
Hi Martin!
Any updates on platform dev 2?
Hi Eugene,
The study guide will be done in the next few days. You can purchase now and get started, you will automatically get the remaining topics over the next few days.
https://focusonforce.com/courses/platform-developer-2-study-guide/
This site is great! I’ve recommended it all my Salesforce professional friends in the industry. Do you think that any courses will be added related to Salesforce Architecture credentials such as the ‘Sharing and Visibility Designer’, ‘Data Architecture and Management Designer’.
Thanks for the feedback! We are currently working on PD2, then Community Cloud, so we don’t have plans at the moment for the architecture credentials but we will review again later in the year.
Hello Martin,
Hope to see the CPQ guide. It will be the next big thing for sure!
All your other guides have been spot on.
Any plan on Sharing and Visibility? Cheers
Hi Izaaz, thanks for your message. We are currently working on PD2 and then Community Cloud, so unfortunately we don’t have any news on Sharing and Visibility currently.
Hello Martin,
can i know when the platform developer 2 study guide and exams will be available ?
Hi Pushpa, PD2 study guide and exams are in progress, taken longer than planned as we like to be thorough and they are advanced topics!.
Study Guide will be completed in January and practice exams end January or February.
Hi Martin,
I know I’m not the first to ask but the Pardot study guide is one i’d definitely take. Any idea when in 2018 you would publish it?
Hi Vishal,
Thanks for the question, regarding Pardot study guide – unfortunately we cannot give a date at the moment, we are currently completing Platform Developer 2 and following that Community Cloud and possibly CPQ.
Hi Martin,
I’ve been going through the past questions on here because i plan on taking my admin 201 exam on the 30th of this month, will this be okay for me or are there other sources i have to study from? Although i use trailhead aside from this site.
Hi Toyeeb,
Please see the suggestions in this article, to help you advice on how to study and other sources:
https://focusonforce.com/salesforce-administrator-certification/
Just passed Advanced Admin with the help of your content, thank you! Also looking forward to Community Cloud; any updates on when we may be able to expect that?
Hi Martin,
What about Salesforce Platform Developer II, it will be available?
Yes we are working on it, planned to be available in January.
@Martin –
These guides and exams are legit and have enabled me to pass the Advanced Admin exam. I’m studying for the Platform App Builder now, and have no doubt that it’ll get me to where I need to be. I’ve pointed all my friends to this site for their certification goals.
Thanks again.
Hi Martin,
I’ve been a subscriber for over a year now, however I have only ever purchased the practice exams. Can you please describe what the study guides contain – is it just a bunch of links to applicable resources? Or does it take you through section by section in detail so we can complete all the necessary study from here?
Cheers.
Hi Izaaz,
The study guides contain overview diagrams, summaries of the key points, screenshots, flash cards and reference links all mapped to the official study guide topics, so that you can use it as a reference to work through, and dive into the details of areas you need to learn more about, using the reference links.
Thank you Martin for really good crafted courses. I was able to clear three certifications Admin, App Builder and Dev1 in last 4 months.
Hey Martin, how are you?
Any change to have available Pardot and Field Service courses?
Hi Daniel, Pardot / Marketing Cloud and Field Service are becoming popular, so we are considering to add next year some time.
Hi Martin,
Thanks for all your hard work on this site! Your admin content was instrumental in helping me get my first SFDC cert!
Any future plans to include study guide/practice test content for the CPQ Specialist certification?
Hi Phil, glad the material helped you. Yes we are considering adding CPQ next year, it seems to be becoming popular.
Passed Service Cloud Consultant exam at dreamforce yesterday — much in part to this study guide. thanks for the work you do! i recommend your site often.
Hi Lauren, that’s great news congratulations! Glad that you found the study guide helpful for your study.
Hi Martin, what about architect journey exams?
Hi Aleksandrs, we don’t have plans for Architect Journey exams at the moment, we are working on Platform Developer 2 currently.
Hi Mark, Can I know that whether the PD 2 will be available by the end of December? Or it may take up to January?
Hi Pushpa, Thanks for checking. we are aiming for end of December.
salesforce service cloud practice exams is for consultant?
Yes, it is for Salesforce Certified Service Cloud Consultant exam.
Hey, what about Platform Developer 2… Are you guys planning in rolling something out soon for that certif?
Hi Gus, yes we are working on it, it will be a few months before it is available though.
Hi Martin:
Really enjoying your Service Cloud Guide and exams.
Any chances that you could offer Field Service Lighting? It is so related to Service Cloud and in high demand right now
https://www.salesforce.com/blog/2017/10/android-field-service-lightning-app.html?d=70130000000lkpi
Thanks for the suggestion Carlos. Yes Field Service Lightning is becoming popular, we will put in on the list to consider adding next year.
Sounds like you’re already working on a platform Developer 2 exam/course. Awesome!
Thanks for the great content.
Hi Martin – when will sales cloud consultant guide become available?
Hi Dipankar, we are planning to have it complete by the end of October.
Community Cloud exams would be most welcome. Keep up the good work.
Hi Martin,
What is the latest on Community Cloud?
Love the others!
Eric
Hi Horzel,
Thanks for the followup and feedback!
Sorry I don’t have an update on Community cloud, we are currently working on the Sales Cloud study guide, and then Platform Developer 2. Once that is done we will look at Community Cloud but I don’t have a date currently.
Pass Platform developer 1 exam too! Thanks again for the materials!
Martin, Hello, I just discovered your website. Thank you soo much for this! I am working on my ADM 201 cert and wanted to know, Trailhead seems to have us do quite a bit in Lightning, do you know if the test going forward is/will be geared towards that UI?
Hi Mark,
My understanding is that at the moment there are questions on Lightning, but only a few. Obviously this will change over time and the number will increase as Lightning is adopted further and includes all of the functionality of Classic.
Are platform developer 2 exams also available?
Hi, we are working on Platform Developer 2 study guide and exams, they will be available in a few months.
Any plans to create Marketing Cloud courses and exams?
Hi Rashimi, we don’t have plans at the moment for Marketing Cloud but may add next year if there are enough requests.
Pass exam this week for Administrator and App builder. Now preparing for platform developer 1 next week. Thanks for good materials!
Hi Martin
I passed admin exam due to your valuable course content. when you going to provide sales cloud study guide
any exact date
Hi Gopal, we plan to have the sales cloud study guide finished by the end of October.
Do you have any plans for Certified Integration Architecture Designer, Certified Identity and Access Management Designer or Certified Development Lifecycle and Deployment Designer courses?
Cheers for the amazing product!
Hi Bikash, thanks for the positive feedback. We are working on Sales Cloud Study Guide and Platform Dev 2 then Community Cloud, so unfortunately no plans at the moment for the exams you mentioned.
Hi Martin
Thanks for the amazing site. Do You have a date for sales Cloud study Guide release ? Looking forward for it.
Thanks in advance
Hi Luis, it will be ready by the end of October.
Any plans to add platform developer II courses or if you can share study links?
We do have plans for Platform Developer II – it is currently in progress, however it will be a few months before it is available.
Hello team !!!
I have successfully completed three Salesforce certification (Admin, App Builder, Platform Dev 1), so I want to say thanks for that. I also want to know if it is possible to have exam or courses for Platform Developer 2.
Again thank you very much
Hi Juan, thanks for the positive feedback. Yes we do plan Platform Developer 2, although it will be a few months before it is ready.
Thank you, I have passed my admin 201 certification. Need to start preparation for platform Dev1 exam.
Woo Thank YOU!. passed Platform Dev I this morning, there’s no way I could have done it without your practice exams. Very excited to hear about the Community Cloud is in the works. Is there a mailing list I can sign up for when it’s available?
Hi Simon, great news that you passed, congratulations! Yes signup for our general mailing list and we will let you know when we have anything new!
Hi Martin,
Thanks for the content. I was able to pass my ADM 201 certification successfully yesterday.
That’s Great Lakshmi, thanks for letting us know!
Hi Martin,
Thank you for the great content. Any plans for the Sales Cloud study guide?
Thanks,
Ralph
Hi Ralph, yes it is in progress, planned to be available in October.
Hi Martin, Thanks for your response. So, Developer 401 certification is the Platform app builder course right? Then what’s Platform Developer 1..??? I thought Platform Developer 1 is the developer 401. Could you please help me to understand the difference between them. Since I am planning to write developer 401 certification.
Hi Sujata, yes Dev 401 was configuration (which was a confusing name), that’s probably why it was renamed to Platform App Builder. Platform Dev 1 is coding with Apex and Visualforce. You should do App Builder first, so that you understand the configuration options before moving to a development solution.
Hi Martin,
I have recently passed my ADM 201 . Now I am planning to write Developer 401 certification. Just wanted to know if the materials posted here are the updated and accurate once before purchasing your course. Thanks for your help.!!
Hi Sujata, Dev 401 has become Platform App Builder. Yes we review the material each release to make sure it is current.
Hi Martin,
Thanks for the nice consolidated Study Guide and practise exams on Service Cloud.Passed my exam yesterday!!Any plans for Community Cloud?
Yes we plan on adding Community Cloud but not until the end of the year.
Hi Martin,
just a question regarding preparation for Advanced/Experienced Admin Certification. Is it enough to use your Study Guide and the Practice Exams? Or do i need to study other materials?
Thanks in advance!
We usually recommend a combination of Trailhead and the Focus on Force study guides and practice exams. The study guides and exams cover all of the topics in the official study guide, so you will be very well prepared after learning from them. I would suggest to work through as many Trailheads for practical hands on experience and then use the study guide and exams to reinforce and verify your knowledge before taking the exam.
Hi – Are there plans or a timeline to have study materials for Field Service Lightning?
Thanks
Nick
Hi Nick, we don’t have plans for it at the moment, but thanks for the suggestion!
Hi Martin,
When do you think the Service Cloud questions will be ready?
Thanks and great work
Cecília
Hi Cecília,
Thanks for your interest! They will be ready within the next week.
Hi Martin,
After studying your course and taking your practice exams, I got my ADM201 two days ago! Thank you so much for providing such useful materials and they’re very helpful!
Thank you!
Hi Hao,
Congratulations! That’s great news. We are glad you found the materials useful.
Hi Martin,
Do you have any plans for adding the Community Cloud?
Hi , Yes we do have plans for Community Cloud, but not until later in the year.
Great – thank you Martin.
Hi Martin,
Great site.
When do you think the Service Cloud practice questions will be ready?
K.
Hi Kamyar, Service Cloud practice questions should be ready in about 2 weeks.
Hi Kaymar, we are planning that they will be ready in about 2 weeks.
Hey there!
Do you have any Sales and Service Cloud exams?
Hi,
Sales Cloud is here:
https://focusonforce.com/salesforce-sales-cloud-consultant-certification-practice-exams/
Service Cloud study guide is here:
https://focusonforce.com/service-cloud-certification-study-guide/
Service Cloud practice questions are coming soon!
Hi Martin,
Are the courses for a lifetime or limited period? I’ve purchased many and worried they will expire
Hi Jake,
Access is for 12 months from purchase date. That should give you plenty of time to study.
We don’t give lifetime access, due to the effort to continually update them and align them with Salesforce releases.
Hey there! Any plans to add Platform Developer II courses?
Hi James, we don’t have plans for PDII at the moment, currently we are working on the PD1 study guide.
Hi Martin
Is there any study guide for Sales Cloud Consultant exam?
Hi Rain,
We are planning the Sales Cloud study guide but it will be later this year after the PD1 study guide and Service Cloud practice questions.
Hi there
is the Service Cloud Study guide (and soon to come practice exams) based on the new certification course? The exam changed a couple of months ago.
Cheers
Martin
Hi Martin,
Thanks for your message. We monitor the official study guide for changes and update accordingly. You are right over the last few releases, some topics have changed and for Summer 17 all of the weightings have changed. Our study guide includes all of the topics listed in the current official study guide and the upcoming practice exams will be aligned with the new weightings.
Martin
Hi Martin,

Martin
Hi, this site is great. I just passed the sales cloud consultant and used this site to help prepare after failing the first attempt. I see service cloud is now available which is fantastic. Any plans for Marketing Cloud consultant anytime soon? Thanks!
Hi Amy,
