Salesforce Certified Platform Developer II training and certification exam preparation centre
If your work involves building and shipping working software, Salesforce Certified Platform Developer II is the Salesforce exam that puts a credential against it. 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. Most candidates take it because a current or target employer treats it as evidence for building and shipping working software.
You are taught live, then put through coding and integration exercises mapped to the objectives Salesforce publishes. 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.
