Salesforce CTA Advice

From mobile apps to the plumbing in your home, there is someone working behind the scenes to make sure things work the way they’re supposed to.

As a Salesforce Certified Technical Architect (CTA), I apply the latest Salesforce tools and capabilities, like AI, Einstein, Lightning and Analytics, and help transform the world’s leading organisations.

How to get Salesforce certified: 5 career tips
If you are thinking of working toward becoming a Salesforce CTA, here are tips that worked during my prep:
