To become a fully fledged Salesforce Admin, you want to go for the hat trick of Certs – The Salesforce Administrator Certification, Advanced Admin Certification and Platform App Builder Certification. These certifications will make you a confident admin and give you the suite of functionality to manage a system with clicks not code on a daily basis.  

At Supermums we take learning seriously and we want you to be the best Salesforce professional you can be. 

Successfully passing your Platform App Builder Certification should represent the following traits:

  • You can confidently set up business logic and process automation 
  • You can confidently manage data modelling and management
  • You can confidently design user interfaces
  • You can build and deploy new apps 
  • You can implement Salesforce Fundamentals

We therefore recommend the following study tips to really help you get equipped and knowledgeable with Platform App Builder:

3. Attend our FREE Peer Certification Study Groups to create motivation and accountability – Our Platform App Builder Study Group starts in February.

4. Build a Demo of Platform App Builder Functionality in a Dev Org and really get familiar with all of the functionality and be able to demonstrate your skills to a prospective employer or client. 

5. Produce a Business Analysis Questionnaire and Presentation Deck which enables you to gather all of the non-functional requirements related to implementing a Solution and consider all of the technical considerations for requirement you gather to know your options. We equip learners with out of the box Non Functional BA scripts and presentations on our Supermums Consultancy Skills Course. 

6. Test your knowledge ready for the exam with Focus On Force Questions
