# Salesforce Consultant Certifications

*Last updated September 2026 · https://certifyforce.com/salesforce-certifications/consultant*

Design and deliver cloud solutions for customers.

Consultant exams are judgment exams. They give you a customer scenario and ask what you should recommend, so they reward implementation experience and discovery skills more than feature recall. Most require the Platform Administrator credential first.

## Which Salesforce Consultant certification should I start with?

Earn Platform Administrator first, since the Agentforce Sales and Service Consultant exams require it. Pick the cloud you actually implement; the Service Consultant exam has the highest passing score on the ladder at 78%.
