About this course
This course prepares you to pass the Certified Salesforce Administrator Exam and work as a Salesforce Admin. It is designed for beginners and runs for 7.5 hours in self-paced mode. Isaac Duke is the instructor.
The syllabus moves from foundational ideas into the core admin toolkit. You start with the Cloud, SaaS, CRM, and relational databases. Then you cover the Salesforce overview: use cases, Lightning Experience, AppExchange, Metadata, Sales Cloud, and Service Cloud. Next come the basics: adding users and updating company settings. The course then dives into objects, fields, and relationships; layouts and Lightning Pages; access and security; and automation and workflow. Data integrity rounds out the technical core. The final modules include reports and dashboards, governance and development lifecycle best practices, productivity and the mobile app, closing thoughts, and practice tests.
By the end you can add users, update company settings, manage objects and fields, build relationships, configure layouts and security, create automation with workflow tools, maintain data integrity, and generate reports and dashboards. These are the day-to-day tasks a Salesforce Admin performs in a workplace.
What the course does not cover is advanced developer work—Apex code, triggers, or complex LWC development. Those topics belong in the Platform Developer I path, which is also listed in the alternatives. If you are looking purely at administration and configuration, this course gives you the exam-relevant scope without the programming layers.
Free options include the "Learn Salesforce in easy steps and get certified!" course on Udemy, which is free, runs for 4.5 hours, and also carries a certificate. It has 7K+ ratings and 90K+ learners. The Coursera specialization runs for two months and is listed as "Not published by the provider" for price, but it does offer a certificate and is beginner-level. If you prefer a lower-cost paid option, the "Salesforce Certified Platform Administrator (Mar 2026)" course is priced at ₹549 and runs for 22.5 hours with 10K+ ratings.
