    • Preparing for Salesforce Certified Pardot Specialist Certification

      Posted at 6:04 PM by Rakesh Gupta, on May 4, 2016

      Last month, after a couple of delays I finally managed to appear for the Salesforce Certified Pardot Specialist and Consultant exams and managed to pass it on the first attempt. I approached studying for the exam in a very methodical way, so I thought it would be good to do a write up on how I prepared and what materials I used. I took around 3-4 months time to learn Pardot and prepare for both the Pardot Certification exams.

      Salesforce offers various certifications and Pardot is one of them. It can be an excellent opportunity to learn about Pardot and boost your career graph by demonstrating your Pardot knowledge along with your Salesforce experience. The most common Pardot certification is the entry-level Specialist Certification. The Salesforce Certified Pardot Specialist credential is designed for individuals who would like to demonstrate their skills and knowledge in designing, building, and implementing marketing workflows through the Pardot platform.

      Pardot has excellent Client Advocate team, they will help you to learn it from scratch, also providing consultative advice on Pardot strategy, marketing automation best practices, and industry trends.

Thanks to the Pardot Advocate Team for offering webinars, open office hours and for providing the roadmap on how to achieve it.

      3. Once you have the proper understanding of Pardot, then open the Pardot Specialist study guide and visit Pardot knowledge base, Search for each and every topic mentioned in the Study Guide. Don’t forget to browse FAQs page for each and every topic mention in the study guide.
