📚 Student ---> 👩‍💻 Salesforce Admin

Frequently asked questions

What do I need to know about Azure before starting?

Nothing! This course is designed for people who know absolutely nothing about Azure - we're starting from scratch. Zero Azure experience required!

I have no coding experience! Is this course still for me?

Yes! This course focused on the first step in Azure certifications - the Admin Cert. The Admin Certification is widely considered to be the first stepping stone in a Azure career, and is the doorway for many people with no technical background into an awesome tech industry. This course requires zero coding or software experience. Once you have your Admin Certification, there's plenty of exciting career routes you can take! Perhaps you want to be a Azure developer and learn how to code? Maybe Marketing is more your thing? UI/UX design? Check out the range of career paths here

How much time does this take?

This course is designed for those working full or part-time jobs already. You can expect to be putting around 10 hours a week towards this course. This leaves time for any work or personal commitments you have and general life activities (we love a good weekend adventure too!).

What is the weekly schedule for the course?

Each week is broken into 5 days of work (approximately 2 hours a day). Each day will include video snippets introducing that day's topics before getting into exercises and activities. This 5 day structure is our recommended approach but as long as all of the work is submitted by Sunday night, the schedule is largely up to you. All our content is pre-recorded, meaning that you can do everything at your own pace.We'll do regular check-ins with you to see how you are getting along and how we can support you.

Is this course offered remotely?

Absolutely! All of our sessions are recorded, so you can complete the course in entirely your own time. We have noticed that our top performing students, and those who go on to land jobs at their dream companies, keep up with the course in live time, but it's completely up to you when and how you complete the course.

When does the course start?

The Zero to 100 Salesforce Admin course starts on the 13th of March 2023 and runs for 6 months, ending in mid-August.

What does the structure of the course look like?

The course consists of 4 main parts. Part 1 - Introduction to Salesforce. You'll spend 6weeks just getting to know Salesforce, and covering all the concepts of Salesforce for the first time. These 6 weeks will give us the skills needed for part 2. Part 2 - The Project. You'll then spend 4 weeks working on a real-world scenario project. While these will be completed individually, we encourage students to work together to get speed up their learning and bounce ideas off one another. Part 3 - The Exam. Once the project is done, we'll get straight into the exam. It's 6 weeks of exam prep, followed by a 2 to 3 week exam period. Exciting times! Part 4 - Job Preparation. With your exam in the dust behind you, it's time to look forwards to your next steps. Whether it's a brand new job, or moving up in your current organisation, in the final few weeks we'll cover our top tips for starting an incredible new Salesforce career (and maybe even line you up with a job interview or two!).
