Ines Garcia
I'm a Salesforce MVP (an award that Salesforce gives out to those with expertise and knowledge on Salesforce) also awarded a Salesforce MVP Hall of Fame. I've been working in the Salesforce ecosystem for over a decade and a half. I am Agile, Scrum and project management certified. I have more Salesforce Certifications than a lot of people (27x Salesforce Certified).
I'm not just another "trainer". I teach Salesforce, Agile, Sustainability and Permaculture because I know it, inside and out.
I've been working in the industry for over 1.5 decades as an end user, admin, consultant, solutions architect and everything in between; as one of my customers introduce me in calls a "Swiss-army knife". I've worked on over 50+ Salesforce implementations (and counting) over the years from large global roll-outs to inception startups.
My background is very hands-on and varied. My aim is to teach you everything you need to know in a fun and insightful way that includes important best practices from my experience with implementing the concepts at hand. If you want some boring and or theoretical training, then my courses are not for you!

Até agora, está bom. Só daria sugestão para que pontos importantes fossem pontuadas na tela, aparecer por escrito também. Assim fica mais fácil de gravar, ouvindo e também lendo o que está na tela.

I found your course helpful & updated to the latest MCE releases. You did a great job. Thank you!
By Tejas Kunder on 1/2/2026
Overall the course was good. However, what could be better was the right subtitles/closed captions, there were many instances were the instructor was talking something else and it was wrongly captured in the subtitles. Also there were a lot of aspects in the demo that were censored, I understand it is for privacy purposes, however she could have started something from start or like a test version without any censorship.

Thanks for the course Ines. One suggestion... as this is a very high level overview of the main features of SFMC, I'd recommend that some knowledge is required beforehand. As I've been using SFMC for a few years, this was a great recap for me. But I think for a new person, who does not have any previous SFMC knowledge, they would not benefit from this course. Again, great content, but the audience does need to have prior knowledge. Cheers!

The permissions vs preferences section too brief and jargon heavy to understand. I ended up going to SFMC help documentation and reading through that section to get a handle. I also don't understand the inclusion of material that will not be mentioned on the exam. I get that its nice to know, but the prep is already dense enough as is without additional noise.

Average, could be better
By Stacey T Reid on 1/19/2025
she's including what is necessary to know, highlighting important info to remember.

Great videos, and I love the way the content was broken up. Easy to follow and understand. In addition to the above, I also passed my Salesforce Certified Marketing Cloud Administrator exam after watching all the videos twice. Thanks!
By Yole Anna Hines on 12/9/2024
Well organized and very thorough course. Ines is great at explaining each concept, and does a great job going through all the material required for the admin cert. Definitely recommend!
