I find it confusing that things such as "leads", "opportunities" are mentioned often before explaining the concepts themselves. Somehow it feels as if there wasn't a very nice introduction of Salesforce and the idea behind it. Explanations sometimes feels not good enough, or not full enough. Could have been better, for sure.

By Aaditya Mehta on 4/11/2026

Pro's: The course structure has been pretty good in a way that it gets simple to understand the different terminologies involved. Con's: But the main drawback i felt was it hasn't been updated at all to help you understand the new concepts which the Salesforce Platform Foundation(earlier called associate) involves. I passed in the exam, but it was tougher than i expected. Many questions of Agentforce and what AI tools should be used were asked which weren't covered in this course. A request for the instructors to please update the course regularly.

AMAZING. This course has given me a lot more confidence going into the test, and I’ve passed my first Salesforce exam. The only thing I’d say is that a few small parts felt a bit too static, for example when explaining over bullet points. If those sections were a bit more interactive or engaging, it would make a big difference, but that’s just a tiny thing. Other than that, a great course. I found the mock exam at the end really close to the real thing, and I’ll definitely be checking out more of Emily’s courses for my next certification.

After going through the course twice and attempting the mock test .... I gave the exam today and cleared the exam with flying colors. I scored : Salesforce Ecosystem: 100% Navigation: 90% Data Model: 90% Reports & Dashboards: 100% A big thanks to Emily and Jeremy for this wonderful course :) Ps: Loved the Jim Halpert office reference :D

Just completed the course! Amazing job done by both Emily and Jeremy. I am an end user of Salesforce, using the sales console daily for my sales role. I started my admin journey a few months back on Trailhead, which was a huge help of course, but I did not stay on track nor have a guideline on what to learn exactly. This course connect all the dots for my current knowledge on Salesforce. Will be taking exam in next few days.

By Peter Laseinde on 11/16/2022

I took my associate certification yesterday and passed. This course was of tremendous benefit. my advise to anyone is to go through this course a few times and listen to every detail. you may want to check salesforce help for any term or concept you don't understand but this course on its own cover virtually all the questions you will be asked. wish you all good luck!

By Constantin Tuca on 11/11/2022

Great course which covered all the areas that are required for the exam. You'll have to listen to the course couple of times and make sure you understand all the concepts. I also recommend using Trailhead in addition to the course. I passed the certification exam on the first try.

By Lola Adedeji on 10/28/2022

Thank you soo much for this Opportunity, I took my Salesforce Admin exam in early September, unfortunately I did not pass, So I went ahead to revise my previous study guides and decided to tackle the basics and purchased this course, which has given me a better understanding of the ecosystem! very concise! I just passed my Certified Salesforce Associate Exam!!!! Thank you, I'm planning to study and take my Administer Exam.

By Amber Kulesza on 10/22/2022

Emily and Jeremy really brought the concepts to life. I completed the Associate Trailmix and then reviewed each of their modules, and felt like I had a better grasps of the concepts. They delivered the modules in such a tangible way, that I felt many "aha moments," come together for me. The practice test really helped ease some test anxiety, and made me more confident to take my certification exam! I HIGHLY recommend their courses to anyone looking to take the Associate exam, and to help better prepare for the Administrator exam as well! Thank you soo much!

By Ginger Crawford on 9/27/2022

I love how your teaching style is straight and to the point! I am a NEWBIE newbie to Salesforce (never even used it as an end user), but I am looking to get into the industry. Though I am working through Trailhead, I found myself getting a bit overwhelmed with all the information on this particular prep track, so I purchased this course as a supplement. It was exactly what I needed! Just passed the Associate's exam and looking forward to further self-development in the Salesforce ecospace. Thank you!
