DevOps Launchpad is launching a Salesforce DevOps Fundamentals Certificate.
The program consists of seven courses and is completely free of charge. It will provide foundational knowledge pertaining to all aspects of Salesforce DevOps.
DevOps Launchpad was launched in 2021 to allow for an easy, hands-on way for Salesforce professionals and teams to gain greater knowledge of the concepts and skills related to Salesforce DevOps.
DevOps Launchpad has trained thousands of professionals over the last two years, which has allowed the team to gain a wealth of insights into the capabilities and training needs of DevOps teams. These insights have played a key role in developing a set of seven courses that together cover the key concepts of Salesforce DevOps:
- An introduction to Salesforce DevOps
- Get your deployments DevOps ready
- Version control fundamentals
- Git branching strategies
- CI/CD for Salesforce
- Salesforce testing and test automation
- Backups for Salesforce
Anyone working with Salesforce DevOps stands to benefit from the course material, whether they are an admin, a developer, an implementation consultant, a release manager, a team lead, or even a DevOps professional looking to start with the Salesforce platform. Students can take as much time as they need to complete the courses.
Each course consists of different modules followed by a quiz that tests the students’ knowledge as they go along. After successful completion of the final assessment, which requires a minimum score of 80 percent, students will acquire the Salesforce DevOps Fundamentals Certificate. Every single course is also available as a stand-alone course. The certification program is completely free and its content is vendor neutral.
“Since the successful launch of DevOps Launchpad, our students have learned a lot about many different aspects of Salesforce DevOps, and we’ve gained a deep understanding of training needs in the ecosystem.” says Charlotte Christopherson, Editor-in-Chief of DevOps Launchpad. “Salesforce DevOps is here to stay and is positioned to become even more important in the years to come. It is important for professionals in high-performing DevOps teams to master a common core of knowledge in order to work effectively and efficiently together. The Salesforce DevOps Fundamentals Certificate satisfies this need.”
