Salesforce Certified Platform Developer I training and certification exam preparation centre
Salesforce Certified Platform Developer I is the Salesforce credential for building and shipping working software. Salesforce certifies working knowledge of its own platform and tooling, tested against the behaviour of the shipping product.
This is a working-practitioner credential: it assumes you already do the job and can be trusted with day-to-day tasks. It is worth holding if building and shipping working software is already part of your day, or is where you want your next role to be.
Training combines live teaching with coding and integration exercises built from the Salesforce objective list, so the exam covers ground you have already worked through. Preparation assumes some hands-on exposure and concentrates on closing the gaps that cost marks.
The listed fee is USD 400; booked through WebAsha it is USD 249, a 10% saving. Salesforce sets the fee and it varies by region, so we confirm the current amount before you pay.
Exam length, question count, passing score and validity are set by Salesforce and change between revisions, so confirm the current details on the official exam page before booking. Our advisors verify them with you when the voucher is issued.

Validity and any recertification requirement are set by Salesforce and change from time to time. Confirm the current terms on the official certification page. We flag the renewal path at booking so it does not surprise you years later.
