No prior Salesforce or coding experience is required. The Free Foundation section teaches CRM concepts, the Salesforce platform, administration basics, and Git from scratch, so IT graduates and career switchers can start comfortably before advancing to the job-ready development program.

A Salesforce Administrator configures the platform with clicks — managing users, security, objects, Flows, reports, and dashboards — while a Salesforce Developer extends it with code using Apex, triggers, and Lightning Web Components. This course covers both tracks so you can work confidently in admin and developer roles.

Yes. The 60–65 hour program is designed so a candidate who completes it is immediately employable as a Salesforce Administrator or Developer. It ends with a capstone CRM project, portfolio building, resume optimization, interview preparation, and mock interviews.

The program includes dedicated certification prep aligned to the Salesforce Certified Administrator and Salesforce Certified Platform Developer I exams, with concept reviews, practice questions, and exam strategies to help you get certified.

You build hands-on work throughout, including a configured CRM app with custom objects and security, automated business processes with Flows, Apex classes and triggers, Lightning Web Components, an external system integration via REST APIs, and a deployed end-to-end capstone CRM project for your portfolio.

The complete course is 60–65 hours, delivered fully online through live instructor-led sessions. It is split into a 15-hour Free Foundation and a 45–50 hour paid Job-Ready Program.
