Hello Trailblazers! 

We've got important news about the Salesforce Certification program. 

We want to share the following key updates to our roadmap:

• 24 certifications will be retired. These include 15 Accredited Professional certifications and 9 Salesforce Certifications (across various roles & products).
• 16 certifications will be renamed. This is happening to align with current Salesforce products and new branding, like the incorporation of Agentforce.

Retiring these exams helps us to:

• Make your certifications more valuable: We align our certifications with the skills and expertise that hiring managers seek in the workplace.
• Stay current with the product landscape: As Salesforce technologies evolve, our certifications are updated to reflect the skills professionals use daily.
• Grow your skills where it matters most: We build certifications around the latest job roles, products, and features to give you the most relevant, in-demand certifications available today.

Key Dates

Mark your calendars (all dates are set to 12:00 a.m. UTC):

• Friday, July 24, 2026: This is the last day to register for any retiring exams. And, this is the day all renamed certifications will officially go live.
• Tuesday, August 31, 2026: This is the final day you can take any retiring exams.
• February 1, 2027: The official retirement date for all impacted certifications.

What This Means For You

• If you hold a retiring certification: It remains valid through the official retirement date of February 1, 2027, and you won't have any maintenance requirements in the meantime. These certifications will still be visible on your Trailblazer profile as part of your professional history.
• If you are planning to pursue a retiring certification: You must register by July 24, 2026, and complete the exam by August 31, 2026.
• If you hold a renamed certification: No action is required. The certification name on your Trailblazer profile will change on July 24, 2026.
