You’ve come a long way, Trailblazers

Can you believe it’s been three years since Trailhead was born? It was originally launched with just 3 trails and 11 badges, as a single slide in the Developer Keynote at Dreamforce ‘14.

Trailhead circa October 2014, with 3 trails and 11 badges.

We’ve come a long way since then. There are now 60+ trails, 275+ badges, 8+ superbadges, and MOAR product innovations every month. Plus, in case you hadn’t heard, we recently made learning even more fun by bringing expert-led classroom learning and certifications into the Trailhead family. So now you have more learning adventures to choose from!

We reached a huge milestone earlier this year with 10 million challenges completed and 2.5 million badges earned (we couldn’t have done it without you!). There’s a whole host of new features to explore — superbadges and trailmixes anyone?

Now, Trailhead is everywhere — especially at Dreamforce
