Different Ways to Find a Salesforce Certification Voucher
Gaining a certification (or two, or three, or ten!) should be on every Salesforce professional’s to-do list. Getting certified is a great way to demonstrate your expertise and is often a requirement for landing a job in the Salesforce ecosystem. Controversially, I also think it’s quite fun… feel free to disagree – I’m a nerd after all!
It comes at a cost though; most certification exams cost $200, while others are $400. In good news, Salesforce often offers ways to get a discount on exams, you just need to know where to look! To help get you started, I’ve put together a list of every current Salesforce certification voucher I have found, as well as a few other ways you might be able to nab yourself a discount.
Salesforce Certification Days – $40 Discount
Salesforce Certification Days are free, half-day webinars, led by expert Salesforce instructors. The webinars will cover the main objectives of the exam, focusing on the highest weighted areas. After participating in a Certification Day, you’ll receive a code for a $40 discount off any $200 exam.
Trailhead Quests
Keep an eye on Trailhead Quests for details of the latest quests… there will often be at least one quest where you could win a certification voucher.Â
Quests change monthly, so if you’re not successful this month, you can always try again next month!
Trailblazer User Groups and Community Events
Find and attend your local user group; they often give away Salesforce certification vouchers or offer them as prizes.
The same applies to community events (Dreamin’ Events). As well as being a lot of fun and a great way to network, there are often competitions, prizes, and giveaways.
