Psst… Have you heard the news? 4.2 million jobs requiring Salesforce skills will be created in the Salesforce ecosystem by 2024. And in case you’re wondering, that’s kind of a huge deal.

Whether you’re working for Salesforce, a Salesforce partner, or one of the 150,000 customers who rely on Salesforce to connect to their customers, the forecast is pretty clear — you need Salesforce skills to land the top jobs of tomorrow.

Learning to fit your style

Lacking Salesforce knowledge, unsure of where to start, or looking to make a career change? You’ve come to the right place. We have various learning modes to fit your learning style, pace, and location.

If you like learning on your own, check out Trailhead, our free online learning platform. It’s chock-full of bite-sized learning you can consume on your own time, from the comfort of wherever you happen to be. Even on your mobile device!

Prefer to learn from an expert? Trailhead Academy will deliver, literally. Our Trailhead Academy experts deliver in-person and virtual learning experiences on all Salesforce products, roles, and levels. From classes for new Salesforce Admins to workshops for aspiring Salesforce Architects, we’ve got you covered.

And the expertise doesn’t stop there. Our learning experiences bring all the fun, span multiple timezones, and are delivered across 13 different languages.

While we strive to be everywhere you are, sometimes our schedules conflict. That’s where our network of Trailhead Academy Authorized Training Providers comes in.

Salesforce-endorsed experts at the ready

Trailhead Academy Authorized Training Providers are learning partners who have been hand-selected, trained, certified, and accredited by us to deliver Salesforce training. And not just any training, mind you. It’s the exact same learning content we deliver in our own classrooms.

So why would you go to a Trailhead Academy Authorized Training Provider and not Trailhead Academy itself? Simply put, sometimes we just can’t be where you are. And if we can’t be there, we want to give you the next best thing.

Our network of authorized providers gives us the ability to extend the power of our learning curriculum into more locations, in more languages, and, in some cases, with added benefits (we’ll touch on those in a bit).

Committed to your success

Like our own in-house experts, Trailhead Academy Authorized Training Providers are continuously learning and maintaining their Salesforce Certifications. This means they’re always up-to-date on the latest Salesforce releases, so you can trust they’re giving you valuable, current knowledge.

This is especially important when choosing a learning organization. After all, what good is learning something you can’t make use of?

In addition to becoming masters of our learning content, getting certified, and being all-around great companies to do business with, we ensure that organizations that join our network are committed to your success.

This commitment includes a promise to uphold a standard of quality in the classroom, deliver inclusive experiences, and bring the same learning principles to you that we do.

Reap the benefits

As if learning highly sought-after Salesforce skills isn’t enough, many Trailhead Academy Authorized Training Providers expand their curriculum with programs and offers to help propel you even further.

From providing evening and weekend classes to accommodate work schedules, soft-skills training to enhance your tech skills, and even job placement support, our authorized providers are more than just experts at the front of the classroom — they’re your partners in success.

These are just a few of the benefits our partners provide*:

  • Flexible learning schedules — A busy life shouldn’t stop you from achieving your learning goals. Take advantage of flexible schedules, including night and weekend sessions, and accelerated learning programs to help you reach your goals faster.
  • Career advice and mentoring — Whether you’re looking to advance your current career or for a new one, a mentor can help guide you down the right path. Some of our providers pair you with a mentor to keep you on track, make career recommendations, and push you outside of your comfort zone.
  • Learning rewards — Need a little motivation to keep you on the path to success? Our providers understand that, and many have programs to reward you for gaining career-changing skills. From discounted — and sometimes even free — certification exam vouchers to discounted bundled offerings, there’s a little incentive for everyone.
  • Academic degrees and diplomas — One benefit, driven by a provider in your region, is their relationship with local government and education agencies. In some cases, our providers partner up with these agencies to create government-sanctioned degrees or diplomas that you’ll earn upon completing your program.
  • Job placement services — Many of our providers have a close network of talent recruiters and agencies that look for Salesforce-skilled talent. They’ll help you connect to the right employer when you’re ready to take the leap.
