Heads Up: Public Sector Accredited Professional Is Becoming a Salesforce Certification
Starting October 27, 2026, the Salesforce Accredited Agentforce 360 for Public Sector Professional credential will officially transition to a Salesforce Certification — becoming the Salesforce Certified Public Sector Solutions Consultant. Also, exam pricing will change (effective October 27): USD 150 (retakes USD 150) → USD 200 (retakes USD 100).
This move aligns the credential with Salesforce's globally recognized certification standards, reflecting the rigor and value of what you've already earned or are working toward.
What this means for you:
- If you're already credentialed: You'll be automatically migrated on October 27 — no retesting needed, and your original earn date will be preserved. You'll be classified as "at-risk annual" and will complete your first maintenance during the Winter '27 cycle, opening this December.
- If you're registered for the AP exam: Your registration will be canceled as of October 27. Please plan to re-register for the new Salesforce Certification exam (USD 200, retakes USD 100).
- If you recently attempted the exam: New exam guides and study materials will apply going forward — review these before re-registering.
