Taking for granted my hands-on experiences and knowledge over the years getting me across the line.Īnd so, I found myself eagerly booking in my App Builder transition exam & the Platform Developer I exam… Overconfidence and failure But with this, I started to build a pattern of not taking the exams seriously enough. Sure, I ended up referencing the study guides, but after running through some practice quizzes, I was relatively sure I wouldn’t need further study. Platform App Builder & Platform Developer I certifications are both on the pathway to Certified Technical Architect With a couple of other certifications over the last 18 months (like the Advanced Admin & Sales Cloud Consultant) – I relied more on my personal experiences and knowledge of the platform, rather than directly studying for the exams. With the launch of the new certifications from Salesforce in late 2016, I have decided (like a lot of people) to slowly start working towards the goal of becoming a Salesforce Certified Technical Architect. And if you know many Aussies in London, this is a little stereotypical 🙂īut those first steps I took, have set me on a path I have never looked back on.Īnd over the last year, I have been continued planning next steps and my future direction within the Salesforce community and ecosystem. But my main ambition was to set up in London and travel around Europe. It was a time of massive change (picking up and moving to the other side of the world). My plane to Abu Dhabi on the way to London… I figured having a globally recognised certification would help the transition and ultimately help me find employment. My objective was simple enough, and I wanted to get a recognised credential I could take with me when I moved to the UK. Passes for both the Certified Administrator & Developer exams… I decided to take the plunge after working with Salesforce for around a year and get certified. In May 2012, I decided to sit both the Salesforce Admin (ADM-201) & Developer (DEV-401) exams on the same day. Stepping back in time for a moment, I passed my first exams back in 2012. So I am going to share some of my personal Salesforce experiences leading up to this point and more importantly my lessons learned and resources which helped me ultimately pass both exams. The result of that day, two exams failed. When I went into the exam centre here in London, sat down and clicked the ‘Begin Exam’ button, only to find I was woefully unprepared for the exams… But for me recently it was about two months ago, when I sat both the Platform App Builder Transition exam and the Platform Developer I exam. Sometimes overconfidence catches up to you when you least expect it.
