So far the content has been fairly easy to understand and follow. Deepika truly takes her time and while some of it is repetitive, its what you honestly need to hear. so many if her points repeated throughout my head while I was taking the exam. It truly helped and I passed on the first attempt
By Brianna Slagle on 5/4/2026
I took a hiatus from learning Salesforce for several months and was worried that I might have lost some of my foundational knowledge, making it harder to jump back in. However, Deepika has done an excellent job reviewing and reinforcing what I already knew, while also strengthening my understanding of the fundamentals. I’m really looking forward to continuing to learn under her guidance. She does a great job teaching, ensuring you truly understand the material, and consistently reinforcing key concepts to help you retain the information.
By Ezzeldin Osman on 4/30/2026
This course is not for beginners, even though it was advertised that way. The instructor moves a bit quickly through important topics. What I really didn’t like is that before starting some chapters, she mentions that she has another separate course covering that topic in more detail and suggests buying it. After that, she continues the lesson as if we already took that other course, which makes the explanations feel more suited for advanced learners rather than beginners.
By Jules Leslie Lee on 12/18/2024
Even though she's Indian, thank God there's hardly that thick Indian accent. It's like she's mixed Australian + Indian accent. Also, I found the course very easy to follow. She covered so much and it is only fair she doesn't dive too deep in each concept because there's just so much to cover.

This is the one of the best course on Udemy for any new joinee/Freshers or mid experience people to Salesoforce Eco Systems. The knowledge and explenation skills of Deepika mam is one of the best in the industry. I am really want to say thank to Deepika mam for where i m in salesoforce. I wish all the best to her , Keep making such a knowledfull courses.

The course covers all the topics related to the Salesforce Platform Developer I certification. The lessons were carefully selected according to that principle in mind. Assignment exercises would have come ideal to further visualize the concepts explained. This review is for encouragement, and recognition for the hard work done assembling and maintaining this course.

UPDATE 5/30/2023 - I passed my Platform Developer I certification exam today!!! Thank you, Deepika, for this course; it really made a difference in enabling me to PASS the exam. I am so excited!!! I have attempted to get Platform Developer 1 certification for some time now, and now I feel confident I will be able to pass! This course explains complex topics in a way anyone can understand, leaving nothing out. I highly recommend this course because I have taken other courses and quickly got lost. This course is well-organized so you can't get lost. Now that I'm halfway through this course and have taken several practice exams, I'm just as confident I will pass the real exam!
By Burcu on 1/2/2023
In flow section she did not even cover the very important concepts like loops, assignments, relations etc. But other than that she preferred to cover this complex integration under the platform event trigger. I liked this example but this is unnecessary imo. I preferred to see some more flow fundamentals.
By Lana GoodLuck on 5/7/2021
Deepika is an amazing instructor who is extremely talented at explaining the development area of Salesforce. She breaks down the concepts so well that even teens can understand coding. I always go to her tutorials when I need a detailed explanation of a specific topic. What i love the most is as she goes back and explains in different words the code that she just created prior to running. Really thankful for her creating these materials!!!
By Orapeleng Thipe on 12/20/2020
It is a good course thus far, it just that we are now using lightning experience so I hope that won't be a problem as I go through the course
By Rajesh Raushan on 11/15/2020
Great learning
By Michael Iheanacho on 11/11/2020
This course is wonderful. I am not coming from a programming background but the instructor makes the information so easy to digest. The examples are very detailed and explained very well.
