Salesforce Certified Platform Developer 2

Trailhead Superbadges

  2. Data Integration Specialist – This Superbadge will test your ability to synchronise Salesforce with external platforms and systems to the test.
  3. Lightning Component Framework Specialist – In this Superbadge, you will be asked to show off your Apex and Lightning prowess by developing a custom application.

After completing the above three super badges, you will unlock:

4. Advanced Apex Specialist – As the name implies, this Superbadge will put your understanding of Apex and Visualforce more complex elements to the test, with a focus on proving your skills and understanding with technical business applications.

This seems hectic and complex but do not worry because the exam is all based on multiple-choice questions.
