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.

Great job! On to the next goals that you have set! We wish you all the best on your next certifications. Job well done!
Quick comment here, I believe it should now say “Digital Experiences” instead of “Communities” under Service Cloud Solution Design-“Given a scenario..:” on page 10 under Support Channels. I am not sure if Salesforce already changed the wording in the exams, but the official terminology is Digital Experiences and Experience Cloud instead of Community Cloud.
Best regards and looking forward to the exam
-Jason
Hi, Jason! Thanks for your feedback. As of now, the official exam outline still uses the old term which is why we haven’t updated the materials. Nonetheless, we will keep your comment on the record and discuss the matter with our team. In addition, we are anticipating possible Salesforce exam outline changes for this year – so these terminologies would get updated sooner than later. (Disclaimer: Info on Exam outline changes is not guaranteed as of yet.)
