Certifications

The Salesforce Platform App Builder credential is designed for those who can demonstrate skills and knowledge in designing, building, and implementing custom applications using the declarative customization capabilities of the Salesforce Platform.

Salesforce comes with a rich set of standard out of the box features and functionalities to meet your sales and service requirements.  However, each organization is as unique as a snowflake, with its own distinct set of requirements. Thankfully, Salesforce embraces that individuality wholeheartedly. You are not limited by what has already been baked into the product. One of the most powerful features of using Salesforce is the ability to configure and customize it as per your business requirements. Imagine having two magic wands at your disposal:

1. The wand of declarative point and click configuration capabilities.
2. The wand of customization via code, encompassing Apex, Lightning Web Components, Aura Components, and Visualforce Pages.
