Most “how to become a Salesforce Admin” guides are vague. Here’s a 90-day plan with actual weekly milestones.<\/p>\n

Days 1-30: Foundations<\/h3>\n

Start with Trailhead’s “Administrator” learning path. Focus on understanding objects, fields, and relationships first \u2014 this is the part people rush through and regret later. By day 30 you should be comfortable building custom objects and basic page layouts from memory, not from a tutorial.<\/p>\n

Days 31-60: Automation and security<\/h3>\n

This is where most beginners plateau. Flow Builder, validation rules, and the security model (profiles, permission sets, sharing rules) take real practice. Build at least three small automations in your Developer Org this month \u2014 an approval process, a record-triggered flow, and an email alert.<\/p>\n

Days 61-90: Exam prep and portfolio<\/h3>\n

Take 2-3 full-length practice exams. Anything below 70% means you need another week on that weak area before booking the real thing. In parallel, document your three automations as a simple portfolio \u2014 even a one-page write-up with screenshots makes a real difference to recruiters.<\/p>\n

Ninety days, consistent effort, and a clear weekly target \u2014 that’s the difference between “someday” and an actual certification.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
