Gaining a certification (or two, or three, or ten!) should be on every Salesforce professional’s to-do list. Getting certified is a great way to demonstrate your expertise and is often a requirement for landing a job in the Salesforce ecosystem. Controversially, I also think it’s quite fun! Feel free to disagree… I’m a nerd after all!

It comes at a cost, though. Most certification exams cost $200, while others are $400. In good news, Salesforce often offers ways to get a discount on exams – you just need to know where to look! To help get you started, I’ve put together a list of every current Salesforce certification voucher I have found, as well as a few other ways you might be able to nab yourself a discount.

Where Can I Find a Salesforce Certification Voucher?

Trailhead Quests

Keep an eye on Trailhead Quests for details of the latest quests. There will often be at least one quest where you could win a certification voucher.

Until August 31, 2024, you can complete the Get Started as an Admin Quest to be in with a chance of winning an Admin Prize Box (there are ten available).

Quests change monthly, so if you’re not successful this month, you can always try again next month!

Events

Trailblazer Community Groups

Occasionally, your local community group may have Salesforce certification coupons to giveaway or offer as prizes. Please note that community groups are not entitled to any certification coupons and cannot request them – so please do not ask your local group leaders for them! If coupons are available, it is done at random and at Salesforce’s discretion.

Salesforce Events

Salesforce events, such as Dreamforce, often offer discounts or free exams for in-person attendees.

Community Events

As well as being a lot of fun and a great way to network, community events (Dreamin’ events) may have competitions, prizes, and giveaways that could include certification coupons.
