Salesforce Certified Platform Foundations training and certification exam preparation centre
Salesforce Certified Platform Foundations is the Salesforce credential for understanding the Salesforce Platform and how businesses use it. Salesforce certifies working knowledge of its own platform and tooling, tested against the behaviour of the shipping product.
This sits at the entry level of the track: it proves you understand the concepts and vocabulary before you specialise. It maps directly onto understanding the Salesforce Platform and how businesses use it, so the preparation is useful even before the certificate arrives.
Our preparation runs on guided org setup exercises, tracking the published Salesforce objectives end to end. Preparation starts from first principles, so no prior certification is assumed.
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.
Because Salesforce can revise the format, duration and passing mark between versions, treat the official exam page as the source of truth. We go through the current details with you before you book.

It is listed at USD 400, or USD 249 with WebAsha's 10% discounted voucher. Salesforce sets the price and it varies by region and currency, so confirm the current amount with our team before paying.
Salesforce lists this certification by name rather than a short code. Use the full title Salesforce Certified Platform Foundations when booking so you are registered against the right certification.
Duration, question count and the pass mark are set by Salesforce and revised between versions. Check the official page for current values. We verify them at booking so you never prepare against stale numbers.

The honest answer varies with your exposure to understanding the Salesforce Platform and how businesses use it. We time the booking off your practice data, not a generic schedule.
Sessions are live and instructor-led, with lab access you keep outside class hours. It matters because guided org setup exercises only stick once you have done them yourself.
Yes, including guided org setup exercises and question sets mapped to the objectives. Each attempt returns an objective-by-objective breakdown, so revision targets weak areas instead of the topics you enjoy.
Salesforce decides retake terms, and they are not the same across its portfolio. Read the official terms, and we will focus the retake prep on the objectives you dropped marks on.
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.
Whether you can sit it remotely is Salesforce's decision and varies by certification and country. We confirm which options are open to you in your country when the voucher is issued.
