Salesforce Administrator Certification Prep

Salesforce is a leading cloud-based customer relationship management platform with over 150,000 customers worldwide. Someone has to make certain the system meets the needs of the organization using it, whether that’s a nonprofit, a financial institution, a healthcare provider, government, or a Fortune 500 company. Salesforce Administrators do just that. And the best part about the Salesforce platform is that it’s accessible! Our course featuring independent study and an interactive class once per week prepares students to sit for the Salesforce Administrator Certification Exam. It also prepares qualified individuals to enter into an apprenticeship program with BIT and our partners. Find out more about the Salesforce Administrator Certification Prep Course.

Salesforce Platform App Builder Certification Prep

There are many aspects to the job of a Salesforce Administrator. Salesforce Platform App Builders are those who design, build, and implement custom applications on the Salesforce platform using a combination of data modeling, design, reporting, automation, and more — all without code. This is a “condensed” course that requires students already have Salesforce Admin knowledge demonstrated through previous hands on learning and/or certification as an administrator and will prepare students to sit for the Salesforce Platform App Builder certification exam. Students do not need a background in application development or programming. Find out more about our Salesforce Platform App Builder Certification Prep Course.

Digital Accessibility Analyst

Professionals who are able to identify accessibility issues according to WCAG standards are in high demand. Organizations of all types are working to make their websites and digital products accessible to the most people, including those who are screen reader users, have low vision, are deaf or hard of hearing, have mobility or dexterity disabilities, cognitive disabilities, and more. In order to help meet this need, the BIT Academy will be offering a 13-week Digital Accessibility Analyst course that prepares students for two certifications from IAAP (International Association of Accessibility Professionals).
