Note

Please be informed that Focus On Force has recently updated this Certification Course to reflect a more modern, stylish and accessible UI.

As you may have observed, we have cleaned up the Main Lesson Page to only show the Main Objectives, Mindmap (also available in Topic pages), and Feedback -- allowing you to have a more clutter-free workspace. We have created separate Topic Pages for each detailed objective which you can access at the left hand side of the page. Upon clicking, you will be presented with the Detailed Objectives under the Section that you have chosen. Additionally, we have put "Topic Progress" indicators which could guide you better on your progress.

For mobile users:
On the Main Course Page, you will see the Lesson Table wherein Percentages and Sections are listed. On the upper right hand side of the table, you will see options to "Expand All" and "Collapse All". If you click on "Expand All", it will give you the option to pick which objective you would like to access.

    Hi.
    I am new to FOF. I have been working with Salesforce as an end user in my company. I stumbled onto Trailhead and really became interested in the platform and its capabilities. I started studying for the SF Admin exam in December 2021 and hope to sit for the exam by May of 2022. I think FOF will really be beneficial in my success.

    Thank you FOF for your amazing study guide and plenty of practice test question which makes the foundation strong. I have successfully cleared the Admin exam with 79%. Super happy about it.
    Exam wasn’t easy but basic understanding of the concepts made it easier.

    Special thanks to @charly prinsloo and FOF team!!!

      Hi Vijay,
      Can you please tell me what other study materials you used besides FOF for you to pass your exam? I failed my 1st attempt last week and was really bummed out about it. I was about 7 questions from passing. Any info would be helpful for my next attempt. Thank you.

        Hi Bichngoc,

        Apologies on delayed response.
        Well I would say FOF is more than enough as it contains lots of scenario based questions.
        But I also purchased Mike Wheeler’s Udemy course and seeing lots of videos on Youtube
        There are plenty of materials onYoutube.
        How I engaged myself more as whenever I got the chance like when I am going for walk or driving, I always used to listen to the podcast and videos. Brad Hadley from Talent Stacker is a real motivator.
        Recently, I found there is a podcast channel on Audible and Salesforce has their authorised channel over there. this is free of cost.
        Please focus on videos that was published by Salesforce only, also search for Imans Webinar he is salesforce employee and posted lots of useful videos, he is excellent and a good teacher. I also listened to Adam Foyston’s videos about the Flows. He is funny and engaging too!

          Dont worry.. I also failed on my first attempt 🙂 and was probably 2 questions behind the passing percentage. My good wishes for you and best of luck. If you need any help I would be happy to assist.
