 Hello, hi everyone, I am Sanjay Gupta, I welcome you on Sanjay Gupta Tech School. So today as you can see, we don't have any actual concept and demo session so it is out of track session and lots of folks usually ask me like can you have a discussion session on how to prepare for Salesforce certification because nowadays lots of freshers and students are learning Salesforce and along with them those who are working as an administrator they are learning development and people are from non-IT background they are also learning Salesforce so that they can jump into IT industry. So everybody come across like is it necessary to have a Salesforce certification, how many certifications do we need to do and lots of questions like that okay. So in today's session it is like a common discussion session and I am not going to explain any concept or any I won't be doing any demo right so feel free and you just need to throw questions to me right so that I can pick them one by one and I will try to answer each and every question but before starting to that I just want to share some information with you like through which platform you can learn about certification and then we will be discussing like I will be answering your questions okay. So let's just wait for more folks to join and once again hello and welcome to my channel okay so people are joining numbers are increasing let them join till the time people join so I just want to share this information with you again so first of all I just want to have your focus on these upcoming courses so stay tuned soon you will hear like any one of these courses will be like available for you free of cost in form of a bootcamp can you can you just guess like which can be the upcoming bootcamp till the time more folks join can you please guess like which can be the upcoming course or can you let me know your preference so that accordingly I can plan because I don't know what is your opinion on that so I would love to hear like which course you want first so all these courses are all these courses will be running in parallel to this bootcamp because okay so developers to DevOps Tushar is saying Salesforce cloud so yeah Salesforce cloud sessions I will be doing I am planning for sales cloud service cloud experience cloud and Omni studio so those I am planning and DevOps people are asking Zeturaj is asking for Java so I don't have Java right now okay most of the people are asking for Salesforce clouds okay so do you guys know about like in Salesforce there is a job profile which belongs to cyber security so do you know about that like and will you be interested because I was thinking to launch either cyber security or DevOps but I can see people are inclined with DevOps and Salesforce clouds but what is your opinion on cyber security because it is related to different different ecosystems so anyone who is interested for cyber security so let me know your preference accordingly I can see more folks are interested for Salesforce clouds and yeah JavaScript and all who know I I see no one is interested in cyber security no problem so I think this audience is not for cyber security okay I see one yes for cyber security okay okay interested in cyber security too okay can you give more details regarding cyber security yeah I will give I just wanted to know your preference like whether you are interested or not if you are interested so surely I will give you some insight soon so like before starting this session I was discussing this I was discussing with the person who will be delivering those sessions so he is very excited and preparing content for you so I just checked how far he reached so he's just creating the content for you and soon I will be announcing so now I can see the positive responses for cyber security okay so I'm going to share you something so that it will give you more interest regarding cyber security because nowadays people are less like just focusing on development role but in Salesforce ecosystem there are lots of roles available so before jumping to those roles let's discuss about the trailhead first so whenever we listen about Salesforce certification okay so I will come to this topic again cyber security and other courses so let's just come back to our original topic so I will be discussing first about this and then I will ask you to fire some questions so that I can answer so whenever you need to prepare your certification so just take help from trailhead so you can utilize trailhead functionality in three ways you can just go through the modules then practice test and recently Salesforce announced about trailhead coach okay so we will be seeing it one by one so if you go to trailhead so here you will see so here you will see the credentials and here you will find the certification thing right so if you click on the certification so here you will find everything so these are different roles which are available for which you can prepare yourself and for example if you want to prepare yourself for admin so initially I thought I will give you insight about admin and app builder certification but then I realized like why not give generic guidelines how to prepare for certification so I'm just going to do that okay so whenever you want to prepare yourself for a certification so always focus on the quality always focus on the quality so first learn about that certification modules if you have enough knowledge then only go for the certification don't do certification for show off purpose right because if you have 10x 20x certification so that doesn't make sense if you don't have proper knowledge right so you can see in every session I show my profile and I have only six certifications as of now but the certifications which I have I have proper knowledge of those modules right so if you want to go for administrator certification so here you can see we have these three modules so with this you can prepare yourself with this you can see the certification exam related questions and here you can see the practice test okay so I'm going to open this one first prepare for your Salesforce certification exam so how you will be preparing your certification so here you can see different categorizations are available like configuration and setup related questions will be 20% so here modules are available you can go through and according to these modules I have planned my bootcamp so in my bootcamp like whatever sessions you have attended exercise you have gone through so if you do this trailhead you will get enough knowledge from here as well right so here you will see different sections are available which are having different weightage okay so from here you can just verify what you need to prepare actually okay now if I go back so if you have done enough practice from here then you can just open it and if you see here so here you can see cert prep modules are available okay so now how it is important so let me just open anyone so let's say I'm opening this module so you will see lots of things available here so here you will see some practice questions as well so let me just I'm just logging in with my public email ID that is shared with everyone and here you will see these questions so these are some questions those are similar to the real exam question so this is the pattern that is available and you can practice this so here question is available then you have four options you need to pick anyone and whatever option you pick and if you click on submit so it automatically checks whether your question is correct or not right then if you go down so here some flashcards are available so this is the question if you click on it so it will flip and it will show you the answer then you can click here next question comes if you click so it will be flip it will be flipping and you will see the answer so this way in trailhead modules itself you will find some question and answers right and these are the modules and project related to this exercise okay okay now if I go to that module again so here we have third thing so it is interactive practice test for Salesforce certified administrator exam so if you click on it so here you will find a practice test so here you have two options you can choose accordingly and 30 questions will be there you can just take those questions and you can test your knowledge right so this way you can just test your administrator knowledge so this way you can just open each and every credential for which you want to apply so just make sure you follow all the modules you have enough knowledge because if you have a certification and you if you apply for interview so you will be properly interviewed because you you have certification so any question can be asked related to that certification right so just prepare for certification properly so like we already completed administrator path so right now if you want to prepare for certification so you can go with admin certification and you can go with platform app builder certification right and you can also start preparing for business analyst because business analyst is more related to admin profile okay here you will be having a business analyst related skills as well but you you just need admin knowledge if you want to go for business analyst role so initially I told you like this bootcamp will be targeting total five to six certification okay so three I already explained administrator business analyst and platform app builder and one is this is like which is sales force associate certification so if you click on this so this is like beginner level certification and here also you will find the modules and through this you can prepare so this cost around 75 and other certifications cost $200 so if you are a beginner you want to test your skills so you can just do this certification as well but if you have admin certification then you you won't be requiring this associate certification okay so this way these four certification you can target after learning admin thing right now if you want to do development related certification so that like after completion of all the topics you will be able to do okay so after learning these things from trailhead low so let me just show you this trailhead coach thing as well so I don't know how much audience knows about this so this is trailhead coach which pays new path to sales force ecosystem job so I am just sharing this link in the chat so that you will be having this with you so just open it and through that through this you will be able to have the enough information about this program so this is newly launched this month only so just go through this and follow this and you will be having enough information about this later on and if you are a beginner so I think this will be helpful for you so in this you will find three things you will be having guided learning pathways you will be having free certification exam vouchers so many students ask me these days like how we can get the voucher so this program will give you the vouchers and automatic access to interviews with employers right so here you can see this link is available just go and explore this so I think this will be a good opportunity for you so trailhead coach helped me so this is one feedback of a particular employee of Accenture so people are already part of this program so it is now available globally and official so everything is available so just go through this and here you can see the sales force economy alone is projected to add this much jobs by 2026 so those who are asking like what is the future in sales force ecosystem so sales force itself is showing this number so if you go to this link you will be having enough information with you right and I think this is official thing it is available and like you can just go through and review this information okay now next is like if we talk about our bootcamp so if you are following all the sessions so this bootcamp I planned so that people can prepare themselves for certifications and jobs so I got I get lots of feedback from people like sessions are very very well planned and they are helping exercises helping so that people are able to make their day-to-day plan because like people want to learn sales force but there were no channel which is guiding them how to prepare something on daily basis so that's why this was the idea behind this bootcamp so I just decided all the live sessions live sessions because it gives you a feel like you are learning in a real class and it gives you an opportunity so that you can interact live with the instructor so that we are doing daily basis then you have practice exercise if you do that practice exercise so you will get to learn in-depth features of the sales force because in sales force certification exam sometimes scenario based questions will be there so if you don't practice things you won't be able to answer properly because in multiple choice questions what happens two three options look like same we get confused like this can be answered or that can be answered so if you have done the practice so it will help you so that that's way I just planned practice exercises and we did an admin project as well right so next is recorded videos so on my channel you will find more than 400 videos on sales force so you can just utilize that and I have created a telegram group as well so you can utilize that telegram group also so that through that group you will be able to interact with the people right so lots of people I think more more than 600 people are part of that telegram group so I'm going to share link of that telegram group in the channel so if you want to if you want to become active member of that telegram group so you can join and please try to answer each other's questions so that you can just enhance your skills okay because I won't be available all the time so if you are online and you see a question and if you know the answer so just try to help people on that as well okay so this way I hope you understood now if I take you back to the trailhead if I take you back to the trailhead so I was talking about the cyber security so let me show you the sales force career paths so if I show you the career paths so you might have heard about administrator developer consultant a lot you might have heard about architect designer analyst but this cyber security career is very less stopped okay so I'm just planning to have something around this and if we go and click on learn more so here you can see the figure these are the US figures but it impacts other countries as well and you can see 35% job growth is available with this role so I have a guy who is export in this area cyber security and he will be like delivering the content for you in parallel to this bootcamp so here you can see lots of modules are already available if you want to create a base so you can go through otherwise I will be arranging those live sessions with that guy and you will be having enough knowledge around this cyber security career path so I hope this will be opening a new door for you to enter in the Salesforce ecosystem and like everybody might know cyber security is nowadays related to each and every ecosystem right so if you want to learn cyber security so we will be trying to make our program in such a way so that it will help you lend up a job in Salesforce ecosystem as well if you learn cyber security or in other ecosystems as well right yeah so everything will be shared with you soon so I'm just planning for this like I will be creating a separate excel sheet and similarly the bootcamp which we are running right now so similar kind of bootcamp will be there so it will be bootcamp number two and as I already promised you like this year my channel will be giving you free learning platform and this is unique kind of channel now because there is no channel who is providing everything in detail and free of cost and on daily basis weekly basis right yes Sagar these videos will be available for lifetime so every year like new students will be passed out and they will be joining Salesforce ecosystem and if they want to learn Salesforce from the beginning so those videos will be available lifetime right and I don't want to charge any single rupee from you because I just doing I'm just doing these things for the community and I'm growing my channel is growing you are learning so it is a win-win situation so I'm growing

every session like I have planned more bootcamps for you so soon you will be having all the details about that okay so this was all about certification so now I want to take your questions so if you have questions so you can just ask those questions to me and let me see the chat if I have something that I can answer so I'm taking questions one by one so Sai Krishna is asking like as a Salesforce administrator what are the career opportunities so as an administrator there are a lot of opportunities so you can become QA quality analyst you can become BA business analyst you can do like sales executive jobs in a company where Salesforce is used so sales jobs marketing jobs are available you can become a designer if you have some like designing skills so I already showed you the career paths that page which is available on trailhead so just go through that you will experience lots of job profiles there and accordingly you can prepare yourself so Roshan is asking about the release updates so release updates I just need to search like where they show this so let me just open the trailhead platform once and let me see if I'm able to find okay so here I don't see any link so whenever releases are available so trailhead is having their LinkedIn profile or their Twitter account so I think you need to follow them and you will get all the information from there otherwise you can search on the internet and you will find that detail okay so now I'm going to switch to other questions so very good he's asking how many months it will take cyber security so related to other bootcamps like details will be available with you so I will keep you posted Sagar as I already told you these videos will be available lifetime the sheet will be shared I won't be removing them so you

April so that bootcamp will be parallel to this so soon so you can see the title of my channel is Sanjay Gupta Tech School so I knowingly have this title so it will be becoming a school now so right now only one technology is available here and earlier I used to teach C C++ in Java those are recorded videos so I will be teaching C and C++ live as well but not right now because right now I am busy with Salesforce bootcamp so this is this is a tech school so school means where lots of subjects are taught so here also we will be teaching lots of subjects but I am preparing other folks so that they can teach everything from the beginning in proper format so they are preparing slides they are preparing some recorded videos they are preparing some exercises so in in the same way I am delivering the content they will be delivering the content to you so that you will be able to understand things very well umka there is no prerequisite for this cyber security yeah ketan I will be providing guidance for resume and interview preparation as well but that I will do after this bootcamp because because of this bootcamp I am not getting enough time to do all those things thank you Sagar I I just have a smile on my face after reading your statements so I am from Jaipur and I know Nagpur oranges are famous so like if I get a chance to come Nagpur so surely we'll meet next Phyrus is asking what is CTA so CTA is basically chief technical architect right so yeah development experience is mandatory for that so one question is how to understand and implement business requirements so for that like I need to prepare some business requirements so that also maybe we will plan later on but I think through that project you are able to identify like recruitment project was having some development related requirements so developers will be having same kind of requirement through the point but like business requirements will be in different form so it is good like so maybe in some of the session I can have some slides where I will be having some business requirements so that I can show you how actually project stories are available with the requirements right Kavi thank you for appreciating me yes Mary you can start working in any non-profit company to gain experience it is a good idea so someone is asking how to take how to take job as a sales force without project so like you you just need to do a project yourself and then you need to showcase your skills in such a way like you have some experience so nowadays this is a key because lots of people are learning sales force so like your skill set how you present that is important okay so that you need to understand so Sai Krishna is asking average basic salary of administrator so it depends on company to company so I cannot quote a particular figure here so it depends on companies yes Dharini DevOps is related to sales force so one consultant is preparing that content as well so soon you will hear about that as well so Suresh is asking marketing cloud so marketing cloud is not in the list as of now russian cyber security is sales post specific because like we will be teaching you generic cyber security and it is related to sales force as well I just showed you a profile so if I show you again sales force job roles so those who missed it initially so I am just showing you the career paths and here you will find all so in these career paths you can see one is cyber security if you open it so you will see all the modules which are related to that really which are related to this so Arun is asking flow related questions so this happened this week so you can join flow related sessions next week Monday onwards and then you will get an answer for get record so in upcoming videos like upcoming live sessions from Monday onwards I will be showing these things which you asked so there is one question what is the advantage taking associate certification so so like if you are not prepared for admin certification and you you need a basic certification so then you can go with associate certification Simi is asking do you recommend DevOps for a non-technical person yeah non-technical person can give it a try because here coding is not required a much a lot so I think DevOps can be done easily yes really if you do super badges so whatever is available on trailhead that will give you the weight is to your resume so if you complete the super best so super badges designed in the way like you are doing a project so like as much superb as you do it means you are doing lots of projects so marry marketing cloud I don't know so I just need to arrange any consultant for that so we'll we'll try to search someone who can deliver marketing cloud sessions actually the problem is marketing cloud org is not free it is like paid one so and charges are very high so it is very difficult to show live demonstrations on marketing cloud yes so yeah this is like nice question Shivam asked Salesforce cert prep mandatory for fresher so yes for fresher I think admin and PD1 these two certifications are fruitful and that too if you have at least six to one year practice experience if you have done lots of trailheads lots of super badges and some projects right so that's why like this bootcamp is having six months length or maybe long so if you complete all those modules that I'm delivering live on the session and you complete trailhead module super badges so I think that will help you to prepare for admin and PD1 certification and if you have those certification it means it validates like you have gone through the process right that's why it is mandatory but if you don't have certification and you will be able to showcase your knowledge so then also it is like good so it is not mandatory some companies asked like do you have certification so if you have so it it will add on but instead of certification if you don't want to do them as a fresher so you can do super badges and you can say like I have done these super badges you can ask questions related to those right so this way you can defend yourself so Sandhya how to summarize admin project that I gave you so there is one folk named Ravi so Ravi is like a regular student and he is from Australia he joins or watch these recordings daily in the morning like right now in Australia there is midnight so when he wakes up so he just watches all the recordings so he actually prepared a summary of that recruitment application project so I have that summary with me so on this weekend I will be just giving a touch up to that summary and will be adding that summary to that project document so it will be available with you so that will be a summary and you can just like convert that summary into your words don't use that as is and just use that in your own words and you can just add it in your CV no I don't have any recommendation right now so you just need to follow like companies on LinkedIn if I have so I will be sharing on LinkedIn so Mary have you have you gone through my profile have you like did you know whether I am what what I am doing actually as my

is also having all the modules prepared so here you can see you have the developer modules and here you can study so here questions are available you can go through so in each module you will find some questions and you can prepare yourself so I'm just skipping some of the questions so Aparna is asking any coding is required for Salesforce cloud so if you if you want to become QA BA consultant so in that case coding is not required if you want to become a developer then coding is required umka like if you have earned trailhead points you can also mention in your CV so instead of interviewer ask you can showcase like I have done this much modules and this much points I have earned and that will reflect in the answers if you are able to answer questions properly it means you have earned them properly otherwise it will look like fake sign of your so if you want interview questions so those are available on my youtube channel and if you go to this study Salesforce website so here you

March 20 March we will be starting apex so Roshan if you want to earn discount coupon so you just need to join some Salesforce like trailhead event so if you come here so I think some events are there so you just need to explore these so here you will find some links where you can find some discounted vouchers right so just explore each and every section so yeah here I think you will find trailhead quest so here learn new skills and win prizes so if you open this trailhead quest so if you participate in it so this way like you can get vouchers so just explore this and through which you you can

you did two projects actually so daily you did some practice exercises and you did a project as well so you you did two things together so twice projects like two projects you are doing so similarly we will be doing development sessions also so Sain Krishnan I already shared a project so if you go to the description of this video you will find admin related project so if you take here if I take you here so here you can see you will find salesforce exercise sheet link and if you open it and if you go to session number I guess 21 or 22 no 16 so 16 to 21 this is project and that project link is available in this exercise sheet and this excel sheet link is available in the description of description of each video and if you join the telegram group it is pinned there as well so Dinesh I am

practices yes salesforce certification days is also an option to learn to earn prizes and vouchers so just explore about that salesforce certification days so after simi is asking after admin certification what what should be the path so it can be development pd1 it can be business analyst ba it can be app builder like at ab bit ab builder is also part of development or you can include it in admin also so pd1 business analyst or you can do sales cloud service cloud so it depends on you on which path you want to go yes so right now for non-IT student non-IT students opportunities are less so you just need to focus on development because more opportunities are available in development area so that is a deal and if you are learning admin so just try for qa or ba role those are those are not related to coding so I think as an admin you can go through with those roles yes Sunita a little bit coding knowledge is required for cyber security but just try to attend so that you get to know what actually it is yes this bootcamp covers app builder related topics too so just go to trailhead and explore app builder related modules and just compare if anything is not covered just let me know I will try to cover in upcoming sessions so jugal jade is asking salesforce development easy or hard to learn so instead I say the answer just join development sessions from 20 march with me and try give it a try start learn learning and like you decide whether it is difficult or hard because for me it is easy but maybe for you it is hard or maybe it is easy so you will be deciding because you are learning I am teaching right so if you join these sessions with me so I will try my best to simplify the concepts but give it a try Samir I don't know cpq so I will arrange some consultants so that he can teach so now this channel is becoming popular so like I am just interacting with lots of consultants so that more people can join this channel and can deliver their knowledge so soon you will be having lots of content right so just have patience yes Pranay if you have education gap that doesn't affect so if you have good skills even you can just start and give it a try so Roshan like if calls are less so it is a good time to learn because whenever more calls will be there so for that time you should be prepared right so keep on learning keep on upgrading your skills and just keep on trying for jobs you never know whenever calls will be there and you will be interviewed and just try to do some freelance searching for freelancing work if you are able to have those so just try those yes Sudeer I will try to add Salesforce testing but I need someone so I am just noting down all these topics and we'll try to have some consultants for these. Ketan this is very difficult like I just need to create some scenario around this so that I can explain this in detail so I will try to prepare some slides like what roles are involved and what is the purpose of each role in the project and what difficulties we face so maybe I can do a live session on that so we'll prepare some slides so basically this is related to project management like how project is managed so I will prepare something on that so Roshan there are lots of websites Upwork is one of them so if you search on Google freelance websites lots of links will be there you can explore yeah so Mary Summary I will be updating this weekend so I think on Monday Tuesday that project document will be modified so I will update in the next session once it is updated so that you will be able to know that okay so I think I answered all the questions if you still have any question you can ask and like I hope lots of doubts are cleared regarding certification so if you have proper knowledge then only go for certification don't do certification to just show off yes really I am trying to cover flow orchestration and it is new for me as well because it is provided by latest release so I just need to practice this as well so if I'm able to create some scenario I will be including this for next week otherwise later in some of the week otherwise I will be preparing some video and we'll be updating that video in the excel sheet and we'll share in the live session as well okay so if you want a development related job then LWC is mandatory so Sandhya for admin certification like we did lots of exercises on daily basis we did a project as well so I think that is enough and if you do superb edges so that is also helpful if you want to prepare yourself for scenario based question for admin certification yes Samir you can directly jump on LWC if you are good in JavaScript so Zira is a project management tool basically whatever requirements we have in the project so that is managed by Zira so it is a tool and there we have tasks which are having different different status like whether task is new if it is in progress so you need to change it to in progress so it is similar to the status field that is available on case object so if you have a task created so you just need to change its status and it will be having all the details related to the requirement so Zira is basically used to manage all those tasks and like project manager use that tool so that they know which requirement is going on which requirement is assigned to which developer QA or other folks so this way like if you want to manage all the project for that purpose Zira is used okay so I think I answered all the questions and if you have more question you can ask otherwise I gave you one more update like one bootcamp will be coming soon so it may be starting in April so I will keep you posted
