Thanks, Helen

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
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.
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,
Are the courses for a lifetime or limited period? I’ve purchased many and worried they will expire
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 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.
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.
Great – thank you Martin.
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.
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 Martin,
When do you think the Service Cloud questions will be ready?
Thanks and great work
Cecília
Hi Hao,
Congratulations! That’s great news. We are glad you found the materials useful.
Hi Cecília,
Thanks for your interest! They will be ready within the next week.
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,
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!
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,
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 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.
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 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 the content. I was able to pass my ADM 201 certification successfully yesterday.
That’s Great Lakshmi, thanks for letting us know!
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!
Thank you, I have passed my admin 201 certification. Need to start preparation for platform Dev1 exam.
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.
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.
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.
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 Gopal, we plan to have the sales cloud study guide finished by the end of October.

Any plans to create Marketing Cloud courses and exams?
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.
Hi Rashimi, we don’t have plans at the moment for Marketing Cloud but may add next year if there are enough requests.
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?
Pass Platform developer 1 exam too! Thanks again for the materials!
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.
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.
Community Cloud exams would be most welcome. Keep up the good work.
Hi Martin – when will sales cloud consultant guide become available?
Hi Dipankar, we are planning to have it complete by the end of October.
Sounds like you’re already working on a platform Developer 2 exam/course. Awesome!
Thanks for the great content.
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.

Hi Gus, yes we are working on it, it will be a few months before it is available though.
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.
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.
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,
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?
Hey Martin, how are you?
Any change to have available Pardot and Field Service courses?
Hi Phil, glad the material helped you. Yes we are considering adding CPQ next year, it seems to be becoming popular.
Hi Daniel, Pardot / Marketing Cloud and Field Service are becoming popular, so we are considering to add next year some time.
Thank you Martin for really good crafted courses. I was able to clear three certifications Admin, App Builder and Dev1 in last 4 months.
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.
@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,
What about Salesforce Platform Developer II, it will be available?
Yes we are working on it, planned to be available in January.
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,
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 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 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/
Hello Martin,
can i know when the platform developer 2 study guide and exams will be available ?
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.
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.
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.
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 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/
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,
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 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,
Thank you for responding to the questions posted on here.
Best regards,
Kyle
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, 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.
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, 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.
Community Cloud is my next cert goal. I’ll keep a close eye on your site for the course to be released.
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.
very much looking forward to Community Cloud.
FSL will be a warm welcome too – since there is not much out there currently.
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.
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.
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!
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 🙂
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.
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.
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 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.
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,
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,
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.. 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.
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,
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!
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
Checking in on FSL… any updates on timing? 😉
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.
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 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
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 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 Yogendra, thanks for the positive comments, we are currently working on Community Cloud, we will consider what’s next when that’s done.
Hi Sorry, don’t have an update for you, we are currently working on Community Cloud and then will consider what’s next.
Any plans for Certified Integration Architecture Designer?
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!!
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, 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 Bikash, thanks for asking, we currently don’t have a plan for that one, we are currently working on Community Cloud.
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
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.
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.
Hi Martin, what is next?))
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.
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.
Hi Michael, next we are updating the look and content of our existing material, before we start on the next one.
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.
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,
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.
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.
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.
Any plans for Salesforce CPQ exam?
Hi Jim, not in the short term, we may look at adding CPQ later this year.
Hi Martin, are there any plans to add the Salesforce Data Architecture and Management Designer certification course materials and practice exams? Thanks!
I would sure love a Marketing Cloud guide! Admin, Platform App Builder and Dev 1 have been so helpful.
Hi, sorry we don’t have plans at the moment for Data Architecture.
I would definitely be interested in seeing a CPQ Exam Prep on this site. It’s becoming a highly sought-after skill set.
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!
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!
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.
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 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!
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, 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,
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
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.
Passed my App Builder Cert last week. Thanks Focus on Force!!!
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!
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.
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 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.
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 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.
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!
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.
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..
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 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?
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.
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,
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, 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!)
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, 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.
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 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 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 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 ,
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.
