Course Description
Welcome to the Salesforce Certified Sharing and Visibility Architect Course!
Just like the initial Platform Developer I course, I have designed and built this course to be 100% aligned with the official exam outline of the latest Salesforce Certified Sharing and Visibility Architect release, and I will be updating it on each subsequent release if necessary. Currently, this course fully covers the latest Spring 20 release.
The official Exam Outline has 3 Sections; each Section has many topics within it and has its own number of questions weighting (in percentage) out of a total of 60 questions. These are the different sections with the number of questions weighting:
Declarative Sharing
Performance and Scalability
Programmatic Sharing
Each topic mentioned in the Study Guide under each Section above is covered in this course, and each topic has at least a video lecture that is divided into a presentation, and a demo on the Salesforce environment.
I am sharing all the slides in PDF so that you could download them and read them offline, and I am also sharing a lot of reference links in each lecture. These references include links to Trailhead modules, links to the sources I have used to build the slides, links to official Salesforce documentation related to the topic, and links to official Salesforce guides and eBooks.
Finally, I have been there, I spent hours and hours preparing for this exam, I dissected each and every topic of the Study Guide, and took tons of notes, just like I did when preparing for my other certifications. I guarantee that after completing this course, and after practicing on the Salesforce environment, you will pass this exam, and you will become a Salesforce Certified Sharing and Visibility Architect!
Good Luck!

I loved how he explained all course content with the Demos and examples in real time, it made it very easy to understand the concepts and also made it more enjoyable to study. I had several colleagues recommending this and I agree, is a MUST if you want to understand more about how sharing in salesforce works. Even if the exam weight is different now, its still relevant and very important to know as an Architect / Admin / Developer

Passed my Sharing & Visibility Architect cert yesterday thanks to this course! As few others mentioned, the exam weightings outlined in this course vs. the current exam weightings is outdated, but the topics covered in this course are still relevant and will help you get your certification.

The only available Sharing & Visibility Architect course in Udemy, so this was my only option. After finishing this review, would recommend supplementing with other courses or even taking preparation exams to be sure to pass. The section called Data Storage & Residency Solutions needs more detail. Wish instructor would explain why knowing data storage and various Salesforce encryption method is critical in the larger scheme of shareability especially for admins who may not always work with custom metadata or custom settings day in day out. Demos were helpful.

Outstanding course!. Some of the content is a little out of date but I found this to be way more beneficial than other courses I've tried. The course creator does a great job of explaining complex topics succinctly. I wish he had a course for all the architect exams.

As anyone who has had to take an exam twice knows, they have a question bank and no two exams are alike. Based on the questions I had, this course was 100% up-to-date. Highly recommend this in conjunction with other sources (Trailhead, SF documentation, etc)
By Mariagiovanna Canonico on 8/14/2023
The course is really a good one. It is complete and it explains really well all the topics regarding the exam. It just should be updated with the new features of the restriction rules. But it really helped me to achieve the goal of the certification !
By Jeanette Phoenix on 3/5/2021
This was the only course I need to pass the S&VD exam with flying colors! Though I reviewed some of the SFDC help docs and and looked at trailmixes, I honestly didn't see anything elsewhere that wasn't already thoroughly covered in this course. Highly Recommended!
By Saif Bukhari on 9/22/2020
Really good course. Walid is a fine teacher. However the course is not updated for Summer '20 release. Need sections on Lightning Locker, LWC etc. Can go in more depth on third party proxy servers, Scenarios on setting up External objects etc. There will be several questions in the exam (su20 onwards) for which this course does not prepare you. However I'll stick by my 4 star rating. Very well structured couse. Can be perfect if updated.

A very well done compilation of information. Just precise, to the point and easy to remember way of organizing the vast materials. It actually came out at the right time... when I restarted my preparation for the certification. In fact I went through my notes of all the 50 modules from SVD trailmix on trailhead and was wondering how the hell will I keep all of it in my mind for the exam. Then I saw this course from Walid and didn't think twice before purchasing it. I had also followed Walid's PD1 course for my first ever Salesforce certification. I hope he will come up with a course for Data Architecture and Management next :-) Thanks Walid... I can understand how much of your's effort and time it would have taken. I really appreciate it
By Annappa PH on 6/2/2020
This course is really Good. Walid explained each and every concepts very neat and clean.Thanks for your effort walid. I really love this course. Worth of paying money. Please bring some courses on data architecture and management designers, Einstein analytics and marketing cloud related things (I will be the first person to purchase it :) )
